Special Note on Business Certificates

Students who have no previous business background are required to take the introductory business course: Principles of Business Management (BUS101). This will ensure that students are provided with a broad understanding of all major aspects of business. It is recommended that business certificate earners take BUS 101 during the early phase of their certificate track. Please note that the course is also open to those who already have a business background but wish to deepen their understanding of business studies further. Those who wish to be exempt from this course must meet the following criteria:

have at least 3 years of working experience in an administrative or management function; or
have an educational background in a business field.

Please submit the Exemption Request Form below if you wish to be exempt from BUS101.
