Based on keyboarding skills, students may be required to take a 1 credit keyboarding class in order to meet the competencies of the program.
If a student fails math, then s/he must repeat the course and obtain a passing grade before advancing to the next math class. If the student fails the same math class a second time, then s/he 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.
A C- or better in any Machining Technology required course will allow a student to continue in the program; however, it could prevent a student from graduating if the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.0 (a C- equals 1.7 grade points). A student must have a 2.0 GPA in the program's required curriculum in order to be eligible for a certificate or degree.
