The minimum passing grade for a prerequisite or co-requisite course within the mechanical engineering curriculum is a C-. This includes courses completed outside the department (APPM, PHYS, etc.). The minimum passing grade for standalone classes (humanities & social sciences, math/science foundations) is a D-. Per the College's Academic Expectations and Policies, if the minimum required grade in a prerequisite course is not achieved, the student is required to repeat the course until the minimum acceptable grade has been earned (maximum of 3 graded attempts total to master the subject content at the required level).ÌýIf a student takes the advanced (post-requisite) course, it does not remove the obligation to meet the prerequisite course minimum grade requirement, even if the grade earned in the advanced course is acceptable.
Additionally, students need to have a cumulative and major GPA of at least 2.00Ìýin order to graduate from the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
