Civil Engineering Program
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 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.
CNST 1330 (Graphics I) is required unless one year of engineering drawing or technical drafting was completed in high school.
