BME, MechE, Applied Sciences
What Fall term GPA do first-years need to make the Dean's List?
3.2
Note: Differs by class-year

Calculus 2, ID3EA 1, Engineering Economics, College Writing, Statics
Multivariable Calculus, ID3EA 2, Analytical Physics 2A + Lab, Dynamics, Elective (Upper HSS or Technical)
There are no ISE courses this student is eligible to take in the Spring.
Which majors are required to take Scientific & Technical Writing (01:355:302)?
Civil, PackE
Only prereq is College Writing! Great for getting ahead next semester. ISE no longer requires this course.
Do students have to declare a minor before starting their minor's coursework?
Depends on the minor! Some do not lock their courses to those declared for the minor. Check the SoC for course restrictions.

Name: E-credit
Eligible courses: Any course with grade D or F
How many: Four

ISE, MechE, CivilE, ChemE
Mechanical Properties of Materials (14:635:407)
Only prereq is Statics! Can take in their Sophomore year, even if it is 400-level
This semester, when is the last day students can drop Chem 1 with a W? What about Statics with a W?
Non-14 courses, like Chem 1 (01:160:159): Monday, October 26th
14 courses, like Statics (14:440:221): Monday, November 9th with permission from an Advisor
