What is considered a passing grade?

All courses that are required for your degree in either the Pre-Professional Program or Professional Program require a grade of “C” or higher.

Courses that are considered Baccore ONLY* require a grade of “D-“ or above.

*Courses that are required for the Pre-Professional or Professional program but also fulfill a Baccore requirement require a grade of “C” or higher.  (Ex. CS 391 counts in both the Professional Program and the Baccore group “Science, Technology & Society” and requires a grade of “C” or higher to receive credit in the Professional Program).

How do I apply to the Professional Program?

Applications for Fall admission are available online from April 1^st – July 1^st.  Contact an advisor to find the link to applications and review the qualifications for applying to the Professional Program.

Can I take a Professional Program Course while I am not in the Professional Program?

Students may petition into no more than 4 Professional courses (no more than 2 per term)  before entering the Professional Program.  However, petitions are granted on levels  of GPA, previous completed CS courses, remaining Pre-Professional courses and the chances of acceptance into the Professional Program; therefore petitions are rarely granted.

How can I get an override into a ECE/CS course?

Students must complete an override form, obtain instructor’s signature, and return the form to the EECS office. 

We cannot give overrides for any course not labeled ECE/CS/EECS.  If you need an override for another course then you must get department approval from department that controls that course.
