13 ME Flow Chart

14 Flow Chart Symbols Prerequisite Course Units (#/#) P: Prerequisite C: Corequisite

15 Coursework Recommended 1 st Qtr. study load, 12 units. Reduce off-campus work load. Engineering classes are demanding. Join study groups. Fast pace in Qtr. school system. Cal Poly Pomona Engineering

16 CPP Academic Standing Good Standing: GPA > 2.2 (CPP & Overall) Good Standing but At Risk: 2.0 < GPA < 2.2 Probation: Fr (< 45) So (45-89) Jr (90-134) Sr (> 135) Subject to Disqualification < 1.5 < 1.7 < 1.9 < 1.95 Disqualification (depending on GP deficits) GPA: Overall, Cal Poly Pomona, ME

17 ME Dept. Academic Policies Good Standing: CPP ME Core GPA > 2.0 Probation: CPP ME Core 0 > GPB > Fr < 45u So < 90u Jr < 135u Sr > 135u Subject to Disqualification: CPP ME Core GPB Fr < 45u So < 90u Jr < 135u Sr > 135u Disqualification (After one Grace Quarter )

18 Consequences of DQ DQ1: Can request reinstatement. Approval is contingent on all GPAs being > 2.0. Disqualified students will not be readmitted to the ME Department. DQ2: mandatory 4-quarter sit-out (No Appeal) To get re-admitted, improve GPA through Open University. Must repeat failed Math, Science, and Engineering courses first.

19 Balance Study/Work Loads

20 Executive Order 1037 Withdrawal & Repetition of Courses No penalty or restriction through the fifth day of instruction. After the fifth day of instruction, a grade of W will be issued. Ws will not affect GPA. No more than 28 units of W allowed. Applies to CPP units only, excludes CEU Cannot repeat if you have a C or better. Except for repeatable courses

21 Executive Order 1037 Withdrawal & Repetition of Courses Courses can be repeated 2 times ONLY Repetition of courses limited to 42 units, of which a maximum of 16 units can be for grade forgiveness and 26 for grade averaging, i.e. affect the GPA. W s are included in the 42 units but do not affect the GPA.

22 Withdrawal & Repetition of Courses May repeat a course if earned a grade of C- or lower. LIMITED TO 42 QUARTER UNITS Maximum 16 units of grade forgiveness Grade forgiveness is NOT automatic Must file a Grade Forgiveness Through Course Repetition Form Reserve for core and/or UD courses, if not at risk Zero units appear alongside the replaced grades

23 Drop after 3 rd Week Permissible only for serious and compelling reasons be sure to use new form Written verification and/or support documents are required Approved by: Instructor, Dept Chair and Dean Usually involves total withdrawal during the last 10 days of instruction When dropping, must confirm it. After dropped, be sure to double check the records. May request that these not count toward 28 units

24 OTHER Tutoring is available at Learning Resource Center (LRC) Eligible to take GWT after 90 units GE program: online catalog AP Credit: online catalog What if I have questions?

27 Keeping Track of Where You Are

28 Online Resources BroncoDirect for online class registration & University Catalog: College of Engineering: Mechanical Engineering: Registrar: Compass: Articulation:

29 Helpful Hints Activate your CPP and check it often. Meet your advisor at First Opportunity. If you have taken 5 semester units Chemistry course at JC you may get credit for CHM 121/121L & CHM 122/122L Be on time to your first class meetings. You may be dropped, otherwise. Traffic is terrible on campus during the first week. Give yourself enough time to park and get to class early. Late registration: 4 working days before classes start and first 5 days of instruction. Carry a copy of your transcript with you during the first week to show proof of prerequisites. Everything you need to know about the department is on department website. Get familiar with what we have posted.
