Successful completion of a courses is required before the student can progress in the program. If the student fails any math, theory, or lab course, then that course must be repeated and a passing grade obtained before the student can advance in the program. The student must exit the program and make up the deficiency through Technical General Education or other appropriate methods. The student will then be allowed to repeat the course at the next available program opening.
Once a student successfully completes Civil Engineering Technology CET 110, Applied Mathematics I, and CET 120 Applied Mathematics II, the student may enroll directly into an academic math course which requires Math 147 as a prerequisite. Students will receive five credits that apply towards the 128 credits required for a bachelor's degree.
