Industrial Engineering Major

Industrial 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 earn a 2.25 grade point average in all courses and in INDE major courses in order to enroll in 3000-level and above INDE courses. The major grade point average of 2.25 must be maintained at all times until the last semester before graduation.

If a student does not meet this major grade point average criterion he/she is placed on engineering major probation. If in a succeeding semester, while on probation, the student does not meet the 2.25 grade point average criterion, he/she is placed on engineering course suspension. Students on major suspension are not allowed to take engineering courses during the semester of suspension. The major grade point average is calculated using all INDE courses.

The number of attempts of an INDE course is limited to two. Attempt is defined as formal enrollment (registration) that results in a student receiving a letter grade, including grades of U, W, and I.
