GENERAL SCHOLASTIC PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING UNDERGRADUATES Chemical Engineering students are responsible to be fully acquainted with and to comply with all Texas A&M University Student Rules. Chemical Engineering students have the obligation to remain at all times in good standing. The university defines academic good standing as a minimum 2.0 GPA for the term and overall in all course work taken at Texas A&M. It also stipulates that a student must achieve a minimum of 2.0 in major courses and overall in order to graduate from the University. The Department uses all grades earned for CHEN courses to determine ‘in the major’ GPA. SCHOLASTIC DEFICIENCY An undergraduate student is scholastically deficient when the semester grade point average is less than 2.0; or cumulative grade point ratio is less than 2.0; or the cumulative grade point ratio in the major field of study is below a 2.0; or is not meeting college and/or major course of study grade point requirements. The Department uses all grades earned for all courses in the major to determine ‘in the major’ GPA. Students who become scholastically deficient may face academic sanctions such as suspension from the university, being blocked from continued enrollment in the college/major, or being placed on scholastic probation. SCHOLASTIC PROBATION This is conditional permission for a student to continue in the university after they become scholastically deficient. Chemical engineering students who fall below the academic performance requirements during a term will be placed on immediate departmental scholastic probation and allowed one term to correct the deficit or change majors. Terms of probation will be decided on a case by case basis. Terms could include, but are not limited to, course registration requirements, grade minimums, prescribed progress towards degree completion, or referral to other campus resources. Semester probation performance determines if the student will be cleared to remain in the department, be granted a continuation on probation or be suspended by the university. Students will be notified via their NEO email if they become scholastically deficient and the level of sanctions determined by the department. Students are advised to contact the Senior Academic Advisor immediately after notification. Failure to read email or contact the office will not excuse the student from being required to meet department probation stipulations. Chemical engineering students whose overall GPA at Texas A&M falls below a 2.0 will be blocked from further registration, immediately dropped from enrollment in the department, and required to change majors before registration privileges are restored. The unofficial transcript will also indicate that the student is academically deficient. Lower level students are required to make satisfactory progress toward promotion to the upper-level. At a minimum, satisfactory progress requires completion of 75 percent of attempted course credit hours and advancement to the upper level within 3 full semesters of first time enrollment. Students not meeting satisfactory progress will be placed on probation through the department and allowed one term in order to either meet the criteria or select another degree program. Upper level students are also required to make satisfactory progress toward graduation. All CHEN courses must be passed with a grade of ‘C or better’ and complete 75 percent of attempted course credit hours. Chemical Engineering students are expected to register for courses that follow the curriculum. The Senior Academic Advisor must approve enrollment in courses which do not apply to the curriculum. Students who are changing majors will be allowed one semester of registration, only with approval from the advisor in the new 9
