ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING INSTITUTE
Students who wish to study and pursue careers in electrical and electronics engineering and any of its allied fields
need to acquire a strong background in the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, and other engineering sciences,
in addition to courses in their chosen field. To ensure that student aptitudes and interests match the rigors and
demands of the program, and that graduates consistently meet the high quality standards expected of products of
our programs, the Institute enforces academic retention rules that EEE undergraduate students must satisfy, in
addition to existing College and University academic rules and regulations, in order to remain in good academic
standing.
A student will be permanently dismissed from any EEE undergraduate program if he or she:
1. Incurs a grade other than a passing grade twice in any of these mathematics courses: (Math 17, Math 53,
Math 54, Math 55);
2. Accumulates three or more grades other than passing grades in any combination of these mathematics
courses (Math 17, Math 53, Math 54, Math 55);
3. Incurs a grade other than a passing grade twice in any of these basic EEE courses (EEE 23, EEE 31,
EEE 33, EEE 35, EEE 41);
4. Accumulates three or more grades other than passing grades in any combination of these basic EEE
courses (EEE 23, EEE 31, EEE 33, EEE 35, EEE 41)
For purposes of this retention rule, a ‘grade other than a passing grade’ includes the following: a 5.00, an unremoved
4.00, an unremoved ‘Inc’, or a ‘DRP’ recorded at the end of the semester or semesters under evaluation.
