3. Admission to a Degree-Granting Classification

1. To be considered for admission to a degree-granting classification, a student must have:
   1. satisfied the General Education Communication Skills Part A requirement.
   2. a minimum of 24 degree credits.
   3. a minimum of 17 credits of calculus, statistics, chemistry, computer science, statics and physics courses required for an engineering degree. These credits must include Math 222 or Math 276.
   4. a grade point average of at least 2.50 for all math courses 217 and above, statistics courses 224 and above, chemistry (all classes), computer science (all classes), EMA 201, and physics courses 201 and above. For one and only one of these courses that a student has repeated, the most recent of the two grades will be used in the calculation.
   5. a grade point average of at least 2.00 for all courses not included in Regulation 3a(iv).
   6. successful completion of introductory chemistry (Chem 103/104 or 109 or 116); calculus-based mechanics (Physics 201, 207, 247 or EMA 201); math through Math 222 or Math 276; and either InterEGR 101 or 160 or another introduction to engineering class from an approved list. (The introduction to engineering requirement may be waived for off-campus transfer students).

2. When the number of applicants for transfer to a degree-granting program that meet the requirements in Regulation 3a exceeds the capacity of that program, admissions will be limited to that capacity. In order to implement the University's goals of maximizing the success of students who are admitted to a program and of achieving a heterogeneous and ethnically diverse student body, selection of students for admission to degree-granting programs operating at capacity will be based on grade point averages, test scores, geographical and personal background, and diversity.

3. It is the student's responsibility to submit to the Dean's office a timely application for transfer to a degree-granting classification. Normal application periods are as follows:

   • for a spring semester: September 15 to November 1
   • for a summer session or fall semester: January 15 to March 1.

   However, for programs operating below capacity, students may apply at any time.

4. Students not admitted to the degree program for which they have applied may file an appeal with the Dean.
