Once students have fulfilled their 520 hours, obtained a GPA of at least 2.7 and completed an approved thesis, they are eligible for an ISG International MBA.

Students' performance and participation in each seminar is graded by the corresponding teacher. ISG expects all students to be capable of performing at A or B level. A grade point average of 2.7 (B-) is required for graduation. Students whose grade point is below 2.7 in a given course could have to take a special written and/or oral examination. Grades are calculated based on class participation, business case participation, and out-of-class assignments or exams. Students must be present at all seminars from start to finish, or provide a written explanation in advance of why they will be unable to attend.

Unless formally announced by letter or email at least 24 hours prior to the seminar, student's participation in all seminars is mandatory. This is not only necessary for the student to graduate (# of hours / # of credits), but also a matter of basic respect for professors and classmates.

Students missing seminars - even for understandable reasons - will not obtain the required number of credit to pass the MBA. Thus, a special arrangement, such as an extra seminar or extra homework, will be given, on a student-by-student basis.

ISG's grading policy will be forwarded to students' attention and their signature will be requested at the beginning of the program.

It is mandatory for students to be precisely on time at the beginning of each seminar. A proper attitude during the seminars is mandatory as well. Unacceptable behavior during the seminars will not be tolerated. Dress code is casual but professional during seminars.
