Grades

Having trouble understanding how GPA's are determined? Ever wondered what a "grade point deficit" is?

Maybe we can shed some light on these concepts.

Changing Majors

Changing majors into the College of Engineering or from one engineering major to another is very straight forward...

Petitions are used any time a student wants to request an exeption to deadlines or requirements. Please realize that these are requests for exceptions and are very rarely approved.
