Students who meet the University Requirements, but lack in specific requirements for the engineering curricula may, upon approval of the dean, be permitted to enroll in the College of Engineering; however, all deficiencies must be removed before the end of the second academic year. Students having entrance deficiencies or weaknesses are urged to use the summer terms preceding the in the CEEB Mathematics Level I exam may be eligible for advanced placement in the Calculus and Analytic Geometry sequence. These tests are administered during the freshmen orientation periods and during the regular registration periods.

Transfer students are required to have a minimum 2.0 GPA on all work attempted before entering the College of Engineering. Normally transfer credit is considered for course work with a grade of "C" or better.

Standards

In addition to the University Requirements, the College of Engineering enforces the following standards:

1.   Students are required to take courses in the sequence shown in the University Bulletin for each degree program.

2.   Engineering students are expected to maintain a GPA of 2.25 to remain in a program. Students who drop below 2.25 GPA will be placed on probation (maximum load of 13 semester hours). Students who drop below a 2.0 GPA will be suspended from the College of Engineering for one long term. Students returning from suspension must prepare a performance contract in consultation with their academic advisor. A minimum term of the contract requires the student to remove deficiencies every semester of enrollment. Students who fail to meet the terms of their contract will be permanently suspended.

3.   Engineering students are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in their major courses (Any course with an Engineering prefix.) A performance contract with the student's department head is required for continued enrollment.

4.   Degree credit is normally allowed only for courses in which a grade of "C" or better is earned. A course may be repeated for additional credit toward a degree only as specified by the official course description in the University Bulletin. Excluding courses which may be taken for additional credit toward a degree, a student may not register for any course more than four times. Any students who wishes to repeat a course must do so before completing a more advanced course in the same subject matter field.

5.   Upon the completion of at least 51 semester hours of the Common Program with a GPA of 2.25 or more on all required courses, a student will be considered for admission to an engineering program. For all engineering programs, it is required that 45 semester hours (at least 25 semester hours in engineering at the 300 and 400 level) be earned after admission to the professional program.

6.   All electives must be approved by the student's advisor.

The Dean of Engineering may require students to meet the current degree requirements or program standards.
