Core Requirements: What To Build Your Schedule Around

The Ross Registrar’s Office will load MM students into the required Summer and Fall 2024 core. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you are registering for and completing the appropriate courses, and that electives do not conflict with your core course schedule. If you have not fulfilled all of your requirements by Winter 2025, you will not graduate.

Q. What are my core requirements?
A.  Be sure to review the core curriculum for MM students to make sure you understand the degree requirements for the MM program.

Q. How can I keep track of which core requirements I have or haven’t completed?
A. Review your Academic Requirements on Wolverine Access to see a degree audit of your record, or schedule a Graduate Student Degree Audit Check appointment with an Academic Advisor.

Q. What core courses will I be taking in Summer 2024 and Fall 2024?
A.  In Summer 2024, MM students take BA 500 (2.0 credits), TO 557 (2.25 credits), and BE 557 (2.25 credits).

In Fall A MM students take ACC 557 (2.25 credits), MKT 557(2.25 credits), STRATEGY 557 (2.25 credits), and TO 558 (2.25 credits) In Fall B MM students take MO 557 (2.25 credits), FIN 557 (2.25 credits), and ACC 558 (2.25 credits).

Core must be taken in the assigned term and therefore cannot be dropped.

Q. How many classes should I plan to take in addition to my core?
A. To receive the MM degree, students must complete 35.75 credits: 31.25 credits of core courses and 4.5 credits of electives. Typically, students will take all of their required elective credits (4.5 credits) during the Winter term, but may start on electives during the Fall term.

Q. What electives or other classes can I take?
A. A minimum of 4.5 credit hours of electives are required to complete MM degree requirements. Most students will complete these during the Winter term. MM students may enroll in any graduate-level elective course for which they meet the prerequisite requirements.

General Registration

All MM students will use the general registration process on Wolverine Access to pick up their remaining electives and to add/modify class selections.

Q. How do I find out what courses are being offered and when?
A. You can currently view the full University schedule of classes on Wolverine Access, or via the Office of the Registrar – this site has a helpful CSV file version that can be downloaded and filtered to identify Ross classes. For general overviews of business courses being offered each term, browse the Ross course descriptions.

Q. How do I register for my courses?
A. You will automatically be block enrolled into your core courses in the Summer and Fall terms. To register for elective courses, students will use the University’s general registration process on Wolverine Access. Please refer to How to Add & Drop Classes for more detailed registration instructions.

Q. When is my registration appointment time?
A. Registration for Summer 2024 and Fall 2024 coursework will happen in the coming months.

Q. Do I need to use the backpack feature in Wolverine Access before registration opens?
A. It is recommended that you do, but it is not required. Backpacking allows you to quickly add those classes all at once when your registration appointment time opens. However, be aware that backpacking does not reserve a seat for you in the class – it is simply a way to put the course in your “shopping cart” so that you can “check-out” quickly. If a class in your backpack does not have room available when your registration time opens, you may have to waitlist yourself, and/or select an alternate open class at that time.

Q. Do I have to register exactly at my appointment time, and when does my registration close?
A. You do not need to register for your elective coursework exactly at your appointment time, but some classes will fill quickly, or seats may be opened to non-Ross students after registration has been open for a week or more, so it is to your advantage to register when your appointment time opens. Once your appointment time opens, you can continue to make changes until the drop/add deadlines for Summer 2024 and Fall 2024.

Q: How can I learn how to use Wolverine Access to drop/add classes?
A:  Wolverine Access is the University website that maintains course registration, student records, address updates, and more. Using your uniqname and password, you can drop or add classes, check your registration or grades, update your address, and request transcripts.
