For complete details concerning these and other academic policies, students should contact the ETID Undergraduate Advising Office and are referred to the ETID website.

A student must complete all prerequisites for a course with a grade of C or better by the start of the semester in which the student plans to enroll in the course. A student is responsible for checking the prerequisites for each course to ensure the prerequisite requirements have been satisfied. A student who registers for a course for which he/she lacks the necessary prerequisite course(s) and/or the prerequisite grade requirement will be required to drop the course. A student who is told to drop a course and is still enrolled by the deadline set each semester may be administratively dropped by the department. If a student is administratively dropped from a course, the student is responsible for all financial obligations associated with the drop. An administrative drop may adversely impact (including, but not limited to): health insurance benefits, financial aid, athletic eligibility, INS status, veterans’ benefits, and eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities.

The department encourages students to participate in industrial internships or the Cooperative Education Program to acquire practical experience to complement their engineering technology education.

Before commencing course work in the major students must be admitted to the major or have the approval of the department.
