All current University of 黑料传送门 college, master鈥檚, professional school, and doctoral students are eligible to enroll in courses offered by 黑料传送门 Booth within the guidelines set forth by Booth and the student鈥檚 department or division. Tuition charges are based on the tuition policy and rate for your department or division.

Booth syllabi (listed by faculty member) can be found . A CNet ID and password are required.

The 黑料传送门 Approach focuses on teaching critical thinking skills. Students gain the tools and analytical frameworks to make sense of complex data. Booth course material may take many forms, including lectures, discussions, case studies, group projects, and group presentations. Consult the and read for details.

Some general guidelines are:

• Most Booth classes meet once a week for three hours over a 10-week quarter. 
• Attending every class is imperative in order to not miss out on critical course materials. Classes are not recorded.
• Students report spending an average of 5 to 10 hours per week on coursework or group projects outside of class.
• Final exams for MBA-level courses are held at different days/times than the university's canonical exam times.

Attendance is expected at all sessions. Most Booth MBA courses meet only once a week. In the quarter system, in which classes only meet for 10 weeks, missing one class means missing 10 percent of the material. Business Economics courses follow the college鈥檚 canonical hours and may meet two or three times a week. Regardless of what type of Booth course you are taking, many faculty have a strict attendance policy, and some require attendance at the first session.

Booth students use name tents to identify themselves in the classroom. It is recommended that you have one. Graham School students and undergraduates in an undergraduate-only section will have name tents printed and distributed early in the quarter. Name tents are available for purchase at the Booth Business Center, located in the Harper Center (Room 108B). Hours are 8 a.m.鈥�5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The fee is $2 and you must pay with your 黑料传送门 Card (U黑料传送门 ID); cash and credit cards are not accepted.

Tuition charges are based on your department/division's tuition policy.

A faculty member may not exceed a maximum grade point average of 3.33 (B+) for all sections of each course they teach.

By taking a Booth course, you are expected to abide by the 黑料传送门 Booth Honor Code. The Honor Code requires that each student act with honesty and integrity in all activities. The full text of the code can be found on page 13 of the Booth Student Handbook.

The final exam schedule is based on the day and time of the class. Check our for details.

U黑料传送门 Student ID numbers are 8 digits long. If you are unsure of your Student ID number, log in to WhoAmI.U黑料传送门.edu, search for your CNetID or last/first name, click your name, and look for your "Student ID" number. If you are a continuing student, add "10" to the beginning of the 6-digit Student ID on the back of your 黑料传送门 Card.

*Applicable Spring 2024 and prior * The $25 Booth Book Fee is nonrefundable for courses dropped after Friday, Week 2. If you drop a course before the deadline, your tuition bill will automatically adjust to reflect the refund within three to five business days.

A Booth faculty member can designate a prerequisite for a course as 鈥渟trict,鈥� meaning you cannot enroll in the course without having taken the course or getting a waiver from the faculty member. Strict prerequisites are marked 鈥渟trict鈥� in the Booth course description; all others are recommended (a waiver is not needed).

Business Economics courses may have strict prerequisites, which will be noted in the online course description. The My.U黑料传送门.edu system will prevent you from self-enrolling if you have not met the strict prerequisite(s).

Some faculty do not allow non-Booth students in their MBA courses. The course description in the will note any such restrictions. Students can also consult the eligible course list, which is updated each quarter and can be found in the "Enroll in an MBA course" section of this website.

If the prerequisite is noted as 鈥渟trict鈥� on the Booth course description, then a waiver is needed if you have not taken that course at Booth. If it is not designated as 鈥渟trict鈥� then no waiver is needed.

If a course has a strict prerequisite that you have not taken at Booth, email the faculty member and ask for a waiver. Describe your relevant experience and skills so the faculty member can determine whether to grant the waiver. Once granted, forward the email to prereq@lists.chicagobooth.edu.

Possibly. Requests for Incomplete grades must be approved by the instructor, and an Incomplete form must be emailed to the Booth Registrar's Office by Friday, Week 9.

For undergraduates in college-level Booth courses, you must request a W from your advisor and notify the Booth Registrar鈥檚 office by the Friday of 9th week or the day before the final project/exam is due, whichever is earlier. When made before the deadline, a request for a withdrawal cannot be denied except in cases of academic dishonesty. A withdrawal may not be granted after completion of the course.

After submitting your request, you will get an email summary (typically within 6 hours--check your spam folder). This is not a confirmation of enrollment. The Booth Registrar鈥檚 Office will send you an email with results after enrollments have been processed, according to the schedules outlined on the website.

Since the poll email is sent automatically by the Qualtrics system, it might wind up in your spam folder, so check there first. If you don鈥檛 find it, you may have mistyped your email address in the email field. Or you may not have hit the 鈥渟ubmit鈥� button at the end of the poll.

Graduating students in BUSN 20000-level courses are eligible to receive an early final grade if the course is counting as part of the degree requirements. If you are graduating and using the course as an elective, you will receive a grade about 10 days after the end of the quarter--your graduation will not be impacted. Check with your advisor to make sure there are no additional issues with taking a Business Economics course your graduating quarter. 

Yes, but it鈥檚 not advisable, especially if you plan on applying to Booth for an MBA. Business Economics courses are college-level courses and can only transfer as electives; they cannot transfer toward degree requirements for the Booth MBA. Also, Business Economics courses take place during the day at the Hyde Park campus, which is less convenient for most GSALB students. Finally, you would still have to pay the full GSALB tuition rate for these college-level courses. Consult with GSALB program staff before requesting enrollment in a Business Economics course.

No. Only courses in the Full-Time, Evening, and Weekend MBA Programs are eligible for the Post-Grad Take Three Free program for Booth alumni.

Possibly. Because Business Economics courses are undergraduate-level, you should check with your degree/program advisor to see whether you are eligible to take an undergraduate-level course and if so, whether you need your program鈥檚 permission before enrolling. If you are eligible to take an undergraduate-level course, you may request registration by filling out the Booth online registration request poll. Requests are processed along with BUSN 3XXXX-level course requests, and enrollment is not guaranteed.

No. Law students are not eligible to take undergraduate-level courses.

We recommend that you do not take a Booth MBA course in your graduating quarter unless you are sure that the course is not needed to fulfill your degree requirements. Booth grades are not due until 10 days after the end of the quarter, and not all Booth faculty are willing to give provisional grades to fulfill the University Registrar's grading deadline for graduating students. Check with your program advisor to make sure that enrolling in a Booth course will not impact your eligibility for graduation.

Graduating College students in Business Economics courses (20000-level) are eligible to receive early final grades if the course is a degree requirement.

A provisional grade is an early indication that you are making satisfactory progress in a course and are expected to receive a final passing grade. Provisional grades satisfy the University Registrar鈥檚 grading deadline for graduating students. Provisional grades are for internal purposes only; they are not distributed and do not appear on your transcript.

Booth faculty members may choose to issue provisional or early final grades or not, so it depends on who is teaching the course (the exception is Financial Accounting, which never allows provisional or early final grades regardless of instructor). Consult the to see which faculty members do not issue provisional or early final grades for their courses.

A provisional grade is an early indication that you are making satisfactory progress in a course and are expected to receive a final passing grade.

• Provisional grades are administrative placeholders that satisfy the University Registrar鈥檚 grading deadline for most graduating students who do not need the course for their degree requirements.
• Provisional grades are for internal purposes only. Students cannot view them, and they do not appear on a transcript.
• Provisional grades are replaced by the final grade, which is due nine days after the end of the quarter.

An early final grade is a final grade for a course, issued by a Booth faculty member one week prior to the end of the quarter.

• Early final grades are only granted in exceptional cases to certain populations of students.
• You can view early final grades on My.U黑料传送门.edu and on your transcript one week before the end of the quarter.
• Early grades cannot be updated following the end of the quarter.

MBA Courses

We recommend that College students do not take an MBA course in your graduating quarter unless you are sure that the course is not needed to fulfill your degree requirements. Booth grades are not due until 10 days after the end of the quarter, which is later than the University Registrar鈥檚 deadline for graduating college students. Booth faculty do not issue early final grades in MBA courses, so taking an MBA course in your graduating quarter may impact your ability to graduate on time. Contact your college advisor to discuss whether taking an MBA course in your final quarter is a good option. 

Business Economics Courses

Graduating College students can take Business Economics (20000-level) courses in their final quarter and graduation will not be impacted. Note that only students using a course as part of a degree requirement are eligible to receive an early final grade. All other graduating students will turn in coursework and exams as outlined in the syllabus and receive a final grade 10 days after the end of the quarter; graduation will not be impacted.
