Academic Status/Retention
Students must meet the following standards. Students who fail to do so will be placed on probation in the major.- Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0
- Maintain a term GPA above 1.0 in any term
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in all mathematics and science courses
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in courses taught in the School of Engineering
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in major courses numbered above 299
- Receive no more than two failure grades, incomplete and/or withdrawals in any combination for a single course required in the major
Students placed on probation should seek immediate advisement and will be given the conditions required for removal from probation.
