General Information
Office Hours - in the office - classroom - email - Moodle: Four possible means to contact me:
- Come to my office in the College of Business
Building (Juniper Hall), room 3203 during office hours (shown at the bottom of the page). After the night class in the classroom and by appointment
e-mail and Moodle "office hours" : M: 20:00 - 21:00, W: 20:00 - 21:00
- E-mail/Moodle "office hours": M,W: 8-9 pm (or next morning early!). All accounting related questions should be posted to the Moodlediscussion page for your course. This is the best method for questions about the course material: (a) the odds are good that you are not the only person who has problems with the topic in question and (b) I will check the discussion page frequently.
- Questions of a personal nature should be e-mailed. I check my e-mail quite frequently, however, I guarantee that I will reply to e-mail according to the following schedule: E-mail received on Monday or Wednesday by 8 PM will be answered between 8 and 9 PM (or next morning). Warning: Make sure your email contains a clear "subject line" that lets me know that you are a legitimate student and not some porn peddler. I do not open/read e-mail from people I do not know or can relate to in some legitimate way!
- You can call me at 818-677-2437. However, keep in mind that usually I am only on campus on Tuesday during the Spring Semester. Of course, you can leave a message either at that number or with the Department of Accounting at 818-677-2461.

Minimum Grade Point and Repeat Policy
Students must earn a grade of “C” or higher in each upper division business and accounting course in order to graduate with a BS in Accountancy. Students who earn less than a “C” will be permitted to repeat the course only once and only if/when a seat becomes available. There is no guarantee that a student will be able to repeat a class in the semester desired. State and local fire codes prevent classes from exceeding room capacity. Students must have an assigned seat with desk space (i.e., students will not be permitted to sit on the floor or in an empty chair in order to repeat a course.)
LEXIS/NEXIS and other data bases
- Lexis-Nexis and other electronic data bases are available in the library. They can be accessed online from anywhere, as long as you are a CSUN student. To be able to access the restricted data bases you must have a valid student ID. If you have never checked anything out from the library, (or if it has been a long time) go there, check something out (you can return it right away. This 'activates' the bar code on the bakc of your student ID. Once you have done that, you can access the restricted data bases by entering your bar code number (Hint: store the number on your computer, then simply copy and paste it when you need to enter the number. Otherwise you heed to type a very long number again and again)
Other Useful Stuff
- Some Links to useful places on the Web.The IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) has a Student Supplement site. All of you should read the article "the Seven Deadly Myths of Accounting" by Moses L. Pava,
- If you don't have a current version of windows or office, you get it cheap from the bookstore (we have a licencing agreement with Microsoft.)
