The minimum passing grade for a course that is not specifically a prerequisite for another required course is D-. The Ann and HJ Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences (AES) reserves the right to drop students enrolled in ASEN courses who have not met the minimum prerequisite grade requirements.
