The Departmental GPA calculation for CpE majors (primary major code ECP) will include grades for courses beginning with the prefix “EE” and “CS”. Previously, only “EE” courses were used. The new calculation better reflects the work of the computer engineering student.
Implementation of the new calculation is planned June 19th, 2017 as of the beginning of Fall 2017 semester.
Some students will see a drop in departmental GPA due to this change. CpE students can improve their departmental GPA by repeating CS or EE courses with a grade of CD or lower.
Some students will see an improvement in their departmental GPA. Some will see no change.
To remain in Good Academic Standing, these three GPA’s must be at least 2.0: 1) most recent semester GPA 2) cumulative GPA and 3) Departmental GPA once 16 credits are completed.
