The courses listed above will be taught in sequential blocks of instruction. Successful completion of a course is required before the student can progress in the program. If the student receives a grade lower than a "C-" in any math, theory, or lab course, then that course must be repeated and a passing grade of "C-" or better must be obtained before the student can advance in the program. The student must exit the program and make up their 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.
