Criteria: A student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will be placed on probationary status if the student falls into any of the following situations:

  1. Accrues two grades below C in a single engineering course that is required in the curriculum, or in MAC 2313/3313, MAP3305/2302, or PHY 2049/3049.
  2. Accrues a total of three grades below C in engineering courses that are required in the curriculum, MAC 2313/3313, MAP3305/2302, and PHY 2049/3049.
  3. Has an overall GPA below 2.0.

Consequences: A student on probationary status will have their major changed administratively to Pre-Engineering.

Reinstatement: To be reinstated to the program, the student will have one semester to raise his/her GPA above 2.0 and achieve a grade of C or better on all applicable courses. Permission to enroll in other civil and environmental engineering courses during the probationary semester will only be granted after consultation with an academic advisor. No more than one reinstatement is permitted.

Dismissal: There are two causes for dismissal from the CEE program:

  1. If a student is on probation and does not, during the probationary semester, raise his/her GPA above 2.0 and/or achieve a grade of C or better in the math, science, or engineering course(s) that was(were) cause for probation or in any other math, science, or engineering course taken during the probationary semester , the student will be permanently dismissed from and will not be reinstated to the CEE program;
  2. If a student who has been reinstated to the program falls below an overall GPA of 2.0 and/or fails to achieve a grade of C or better in any math, science, or engineering course, then the student will be permanently dismissed from and will not be reinstated to the CEE program.

Effective Date: This policy is effective as of the Spring 2008 semester. Students who have already reached or exceeded the limits stated above must achieve a grade of C or better on all applicable courses during the Spring 2008 semester to avoid being placed on probationary status. Students who do not meet this requirement will be placed on probationary status in Fall 2008 and may be reinstated by meeting the aforementioned requirements.
