Enrollment in Upper-Division Industrial Engineering Courses
The requirements for enrollment in upper-division industrial engineering courses are:
- Satisfactory completion of all University and School of Engineering admission requirements
- An approved application for enrollment in upper-division engineering courses
- Satisfactory completion of the lower-division (core) courses CE 204, 240, 242; CHEM 131, 135 (or CHEM 121A, 125A); CS 140; ECE 210; ENG 101, 102; MATH 150, 152, 250, 305 or 321; PHYS 141, 151L, 142, 152L; and ACS 101 or 103; with a GPA of at least 2.0 for the above courses is required for non-transfer students, transfer students from articulated programs, and Illinois resident transfer students; a GPA of at least 2.25 for the above courses is required for other transfer students.
Academic Status/Retention
Students must meet the following standards. Students who fail to do so will be placed on probation in the major.
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0
- Maintain a term GPA above 1.0 in any term
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in all mathematics and science courses
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0 in courses taught in the School of Engineering
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in major courses numbered above 299
- Receive no more than two failure grades, incomplete, and/or withdrawals in any combination for a single course required in the major
Students placed on probation should seek immediate advisement and will be given the conditions required for removal from probation. If the conditions are not met, students are dropped from the major and may not enroll in upper-division School of Engineering courses without written departmental permission. After one year, students are eligible to reapply for admission to the major. Students dropped from the major may direct a written appeal to the department’s academic standards committee.
