the second year accounting courses eligible students who satisfy the faculty s transferring criteria must write the acc1011n financial reporting i entrance exam and obtain a result of at least 60 students who obtain a result of 50 59 in the acc1011n entrance exam will earn a cr for acc1011s financial reporting i but will not be permitted to continue into the second year acc courses noting that
