Section 1. Academic Requirements of the School of Engineering and Applied Science

400. To be admitted into the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the applicant must have fulfilled the requirements prescribed by the Faculty of the School as published in the General Catalog.
401. The Faculty of the School is authorized to determine the minimum lower division requirements for advancement to upper division standing.
402. (A) Study lists require approval of the Dean of the School or his/her representative. It is the responsibility of the student to present study lists which reflect satisfactory progress toward the Bachelor of Science degrees in Engineering according to standards set by the Faculty. Study lists or programs of study taken by students which do not comply with these standards render the student liable to enforced withdrawal from the University or other academic action.
(B) A full-time undergraduate student in the School of Engineering and Applied Science must complete a minimum of thirty-six (36) units in three consecutive terms in which the student is registered.  [Am 27 May 86]

Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science

404. The Engineering and Applied Science curriculum (including all designated majors) shall be published annually in the General Catalog, shall be subject to periodic revision as determined to be necessary by the Faculty of the School, and shall include provision for transfer students.  [Am 9 Apr 85]
405. Students who have been admitted to senior standing in the School on the basis of credit from another institution, from University Extension or from another college or school of the University must complete, subsequent to such admission, eight upper division courses which shall be used to satisfy part of their approved Major Field elective sequence. The Dean or his/her representative shall have the authority to reduce this requirement in the case of students transferring from Colleges or Schools of Engineering on other campuses of the University:
406. The degree of Bachelor of Science will be granted on the following conditions:
(A) The candidate shall have satisfied the general University requirements (Senate Regulations 610, 612, 614, 630 (Variance of Senate Regulation), 634, 636, and 638).
(B) The candidate shall have completed the requirements of the Engineering and Applied Science curriculum, (including all designated majors). Appropriate variations from and substitutions for the requirements of the published curriculum may be approved for the Faculty of the School by the Dean or authorized representative.
(C) To be eligible to receive the degree of Bachelor of Science, a student must have achieved at least a 2.0 grade-point average in all University courses of upper division level offered in satisfaction of subject and electives requirements of the curriculum. In addition, a 2.0 minimum grade-point average in upper division mathematics and upper division core courses and major field electives is required.
(D) After 213 quarter units, a student may not normally continue his/her enrollment in the School. The student may, however, petition the Dean for special permission to continue work required to complete his/her degree. This regulation does not apply to Departmental Scholars.

408. Qualified undergraduate students may be allowed to take 200 series courses to apply toward the Bachelor of Science degrees with the approval of the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and of the instructor and the department concerned. The Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science shall determine the minimum qualifications to be met by undergraduate students who wish to take graduate courses for credit toward the Bachelor's degrees. (See Divisional Regulation 302.)  [Am 9 Apr 85]
410. Dean's Honors will be awarded each term to students completing the previous term's program with distinction according to criteria established by the Dean of the School.
412. Superior scholarship, which may include research showing ability to do original work, will be recognized at graduation by the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science by one of the three designations: Cum laude, Magna cum laude, Summa cum laude. The Faculty of the School shall determine the conditions for awarding these honorary designations and the method by which they will be manifested. Students also must meet the minimum University standards to be awarded honors at graduation.  [Am 9 Apr 85]
414. The Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science may prescribe special or comprehensive examinations or may otherwise test student preparation and achievement. No student shall be recommended for a degree until fulfilling such requirements imposed under this section as were in effect at the time of the student's admission to the School.
418. Credit assigned in a particular subject by the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools to a student entering the School of Engineering and Applied Science may be applied in satisfaction of the prescribed work in that subject in the curriculum of the School (including all designated majors) only insofar as the proper authorities of the School, acting on the recommendation of the department concerned, approve of the substitution.  [Am 9 Apr 85]
