An engineering education is both process-based and sequential. Academic Progress thus requires timely and sequential completion of coursework. Students successfully completing fewer than six credits in any given semester from the respective curriculum may be dismissed from SoE and AU. This imperative for progress does not apply to: part-time students, withdrawn students, or those who successfully complete nine cumulative credits in their SoE major and another declared AU major or degree (not minor). Note that this is in keeping with Federal regulations for degree progression. Students enrolled for fewer than twelve credits from the respective curriculum and/or un-enrolled in required seminar (ENGR160/360) may be placed on Academic Probation. Students enrolled for fewer than twelve credits from the respective curriculum and/or un-enrolled in required seminar may be put on Academic Probation.
No more than seven credits of D or D+ in engineering courses taken at Alfred University may be applied for graduation in any program in the School of Engineering for students entering the University Fall 2014 and thereafter. Accumulation of excess D or D+ grades constitute “low grades in critical prerequisite courses” per the Academic Standing requirements in this Catalog and may result in being placed on Academic Probation.
