Welcome to the Department of Finance and Marketing

Checklist
Please take some time to complete the following checklist. Talk to your faculty advisor or the
Department Manager if you have questions.
- Review your transfer equivalency report. Did all your classes transfer over properly?
- Complete your GUR requirement checklist based off your transfer equivalency report. If you have a Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) you will not need to take any GURs at WWU and do not need to complete this step.
- Read the Plan of Study and fill out all of your completed courses by following the directions on the form. You must read this document carefully and understand it fully!
- Determine if you can apply as a pre-major (you have not completed all Foundation Courses) or a full major (you have you taken all Foundation Courses). Both pre-major and full major students can register during the first phase of registration. Only full major students can register for concentration courses.
- Apply to be a CBE major.
- Look at the classes we offer on ClassFinder.
- Using ClassFinder, your transfer equivalency report, and your Plan of Study decide on the courses you want to take next fall, winter, and spring. Pay attention to prerequisites.

You will be dropped from CBE if you have below a 2.50 GPA. We do give you a one quarter warning to bring up your GPA.
