Entry requirements

Academic Progression Requirements Steady academic progression is expected by the College of Engineering and Computing. Students who are unsuccessful in passing common pre-requisites after two attempts will be advised to change their major into an area where they can be successful. Drops after the add/drop period, which result in a DR grade, are considered an attempt in the course and count as an unsuccessful enrollment. Students must also meet the Math Progression standard of successfully completing Calculus 1 within three academic terms, not counting summers. Students will be redirected to a different degree program when completion of the progression standards, including the applicable math progression standard by its stated semester, is no longer feasible.
