COE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTINUED ENROLLMENT

I. ADVISING IN THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Students are expected to follow the advice and recommendations of their faculty advisors and are expected to know and follow all prerequisite, corequisite, and progression requirements of their program. Persistent attempts to circumvent that advice and guidance shall be grounds for discontinuance.

Students must demonstrate that they are making satisfactory progress toward completion of their major degree. They are in violation of this requirement and subject to discontinuance if they have two consecutive semesters of unsatisfactory progress.

Beginning, Spring 2012, engineering majors may take a course in their curriculum a maximum of three times, including withdrawing from the course with a grade of W. Failure to achieve a satisfactory grade in a course to progress in the program within the three allowed attempts will result in suspension from the engineering program.

II. FRESHMAN YEAR REQUIREMENTS

All new freshman students are initially advised by a central office within the College of Engineering. Students are eligible for transfer to their major department for further advising once they have achieved the following:

1) completion of all non-elective courses in their freshman year curriculum with grades of C or above

2) a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 for all courses taken

III. SOPHOMORE THROUGH SENIOR YEAR REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the University requirements for continued enrollment, students must maintain a major cumulative GPA of 2.0 for all courses in the departmental curriculum taught by the College. Failure to meet this requirement for two consecutive semesters will result in suspension from the College of Engineering.

IV. REQUIREMENTS FOR READMISSION TO THE COLLEGE AFTER DISCONTINUATION

An undergraduate student who has been discontinued for failure to satisfy the College requirement for continuation stated above, but who nonetheless meets the conditions for continued enrollment in the University, will be ineligible for readmission to the College until one of the following occurs:

1) An appeal is accepted through the College of Engineering

2) The student completes an Associate of Science (AS) degree for engineering or an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree for engineering technology

3) The student elects to use the Two-Year-Rule

A student who has been suspended by the University must follow University guidelines for appeal. Readmission to the College after discontinuation or suspension is not automatic. An application for readmission must be made by the student and approved by the College/department. Students who are readmitted after discontinuation by the College, suspension by the University, or under the Two-Year Rule must meet requirements for continued enrollment appropriate to their individual situation. These requirements are specified in a "Continuation Agreement" that is mutually agreed upon and signed by the student and his/her appropriate advisor. The consequences of failure to meet the requirements of the agreement may be articulated in the agreement itself. However, if these consequences are not included in the agreement, failure to meet the requirements will automatically result in the student's discontinuation from the College.
