Engineering majors must earn a grade of C- or better in all engineering, mathematics, and science courses. No grade lower than C- will be accepted on any courses transferred to the University of Houston.

Students must maintain an overall grade point average of 2.00 or higher in all courses. Students must earn a 2.25 grade point average in their first 12 hours of CIVE courses in order to continue in the major and to enroll in CIVE courses at the 3000-level and above. The major grade point average is calculated using all CIVE courses. See college rules for additional detail on major GPA requirements.

The number of attempts in a CIVE course is limited to two. Attempt is defined as formal enrollment (registration) that results in a student’s name being listed on an official grade report, which also includes grades of U, W, and I. See college rules for additional detail regarding maximum number of attempts.
