Engineering Core

Credit Hour and GPA Requirement

To receive a Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Engineering, students must complete at least 130 credit hours and fulfill the requirements of the major, which may involve completing more than 130 credit hours for some. Students must achieve a GPA of at least 2.0, without more than 7 credits of D or D+, in all engineering courses (any course offered by SoE at any level) in addition to a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 required by Alfred University. 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.

Good Academic Standing

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 This imperative for progress does not apply to: part-time students, withdrawn students, or those who successfully complete nine cumulative credits in their SoE major and another declared AU major or degree (not minor).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.
