ECE Academic Policies Restrictions Policy C- Policy and Petition Force-Add Policy Policy 91
Restrictions Policy (revised 3/17/05) To transfer to CPE or EE, students
must have completed all first year courses, with the exception of ECE 1574.
Students must have earned grades of C- or better in each of the following: ENGE 1024 & 1104 MATH 1114, 1205, 1206, 1224 PHYS 2305
C- Policy and Petition Students are required to earn minimum
C- or better grades in all ECE prerequisite courses, including ECE 1574.
ECE advisors check all prerequisites each semester.
There is a petition process; however, petitions are granted in only the most unusual and extenuating circumstances. The petition part of the policy does not
apply to first-year courses.
Force-Add Policy Students are strongly encouraged to
submit Web Course Requests, this semester (March 22-29) and each successive semester.
Students who submit course requests, but who do not get requested courses, will be given first priority for departmental force adds.
If necessary, see your ECE advisor during the Add/Drop period at the end of the semester.
Policy 91 Outlines university-wide minimum criteria
to determine if students are making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees
In addition, by the end of the sophomore year, specific expectations include: CPE: Completion of ECE 1574, 2984/2000,
2504 or 2574, MATH 2214 and (2224 or 2534), and PHYS 2306
EE: Completion of ECE 1574, 2984/2000, 2004, MATH 2214 and 2224, and PHYS 2306
