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 the School of Engineering and Alfred University. This imperative for progress does not apply to part-time students, withdrawn students, or those who successfully complete nine cumulative credits in their School of Engineering major and another declared Alfred University major or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 Notice. Students enrolled for fewer than twelve credits from the respective curriculum and/or un-enrolled in required seminar may be put on Academic Notice.
Students must achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 without more than 7 credits of D or D+ in all engineering courses (any course offered by the Inamori School of Engineering at any level).
