In order for a student to be retained and progress toward a B.S. in Engineering degree he/she must:

1. maintain a semester grade point average of 2.000 or higher each semester in credits toward the degree. Failure to maintain this 2.000 semester grade point average for two successive semesters will prohibit the student from registering for new courses in the Engineering Department.
2. have and maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.500 or higher in courses in his/her B.S. in Engineering degree plan after completing 60 hours of these courses. Students may repeat courses in order to meet this requirement. However, no course may be repeated more than once without the written permission of his/her advisor.
