No. CM2120 a prereq to CM3110. If you need to take CM3110 in the fall, then you will need to arrange your schedule to take CM2120 first. CM 2120 is offered in the spring and in the summer, track B.
You may retake any class in which you receive a CD, D, or F. However, before you retake a class there are two things that you should know:
- The second grade always replaces the first grade. If you retake a class and receive a better grade this will improve both your semester and overall GPAs. However you can retake a class and get a poorer grade. For example if you have a D (a passing grade) and retake a course and receive an F (a failing grade), you now have a failing grade in the course and would have to retake the class a third time.
Success in your freshmen and sophomore science classes is critical to your continued success in the chemical engineering courses. It is our experience that the first step to being successful in our program (and in your chemical engineering career), is to get a C or better in the following key classes:
- Math (MA 1032, MA 1160/1161, MA 2160, MA 3160, MA 2320/2121/2330, and MA 3520/3521/3530/3560)
- Freshman Chemistry (CH 1150 and CH 1160)
- Physics (PH 2100 and PH 2200)
If you receive a CD or D in any of the math, chemistry, or physics classes listed above, we strongly encourage you to retake the class BEFORE continuing on in the next class in the sequence.
Yes! We strongly encourage all incoming transfer students to meet with an advisor. We use this time to review transfer credit and to develop an expected graduation date based on remaining degree requirements, scheduling and prerequisite constraints, and your individual goals.
Walk-in office hours for new transfer students are scheduled during the fall transfer student orientation, which is held the Friday before fall classes start. The transfer student orientation is highly recommended. If you are not able to attend during this time or are transferring in during the spring or summer semesters, email cmadvise@mtu.edu to schedule an in-person or phone appointment with an advisor.
In order to keep your department fees at a minimum the advising office is not open in the summer (May through mid-August). The advising office reopens two weeks before fall classes start. If you have an issue that needs immediate attention during summer months please call the Department of Chemical Engineering office at 906-487-3132.
The chemical engineering advising office is located in the Chemical Sciences Building (building 19) on the second floor, room 202M. The advising office is open during the school year from mid-August through April.
The chemical engineering advisors are Ms. Katie Torrey (main advisor) and Dr. Faith Morrison (career advisor). We may be reached by emailing cmadvise@mtu.edu. Please send all your advising questions to cmadvise@mtu.edu.
Walk-in office hours, where no appointments are needed, are for students who need to make last minute adjustments to their schedule or who need assistance with registration for next semester. They are held during peak advising times of the academic year, which are at the start of the semester (first and second week of classes) and during registration weeks (tenth week and eleventh week of classes). Walk-in office hour times will be posted. There are no summer walk-in office hours.
If you are looking for assistance with long term planning or need to complete a degree audit for graduation, we ask that you schedule an appointment for another time during the fall or spring semesters.
