Affiliation

Students must apply for affiliation with a Major during the first semester of the sophomore year, although earlier affiliation may be granted at the discretion of the Major.  To apply for afffiliation, students visit the office of the undergraduate Major consultant in the Major of their choice and complete an Application for Major Affiliation. 

To affiliate, students must (1) have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) > 2.0 and (2) have satisfied the Major’s course and grade requirements. Major Affiliation Requirements   Occasionally, a student falls just short of meeting standard affiliation requirements but demonstrates potential in the Major. In such cases, a Major may offer "conditional affiliation".  Conditional affiliation involves a written agreement signed by both the Major and the student.  Students must meet the requirements specified in the conditional affiliation agreement to continue in the Major. 

All students must be affiliated or conditionally affiliated with a Major by the end of the fourth semester or they will be withdrawn from the College of Engineering.  Future enrollment in the College of Engineering is dependent on affiliation or participation in a terminal semester.
