Priorities for Admission to a MajorStudents who meet the basic criteria above will be ranked by GPA and admitted tothe major of their choice in decreasing GPA order until that major reaches its capacity,if space is not available in the chosen major, the student may select another engineeringmajor where space is still available or wait and try again at the end of the thirdsemester. In all cases, West Virginia residents will be given preference when equalcandidates are being considered. The dean's office may give minority students specialconsideration for admission to a major.Procedures• Students not accepted into their first choice are automatically reviewed for theirsecond and third choices and have the right to accept or reject one of these choices.• Third semester (not including summer sessions) general engineering studentswho have not been admitted to a major may enroll in Engineering 1 and/or Engineering2. They may also enroll in CpE 71 , EE 21 and/or 22, IE 140, and MAE 12, 32, and/or41, provided that they have prior approval from their freshman advisor and/or theirproposed major department. However, this does not imply that such a student will beadmitted to the major in the future. A program chair may agree to specify the minimumconditions under which such a student will be admitted to that department at the end ofthe third semester.• Student records will be evaluated on or about June 15, August 15, andDecember 30.Transfer StudentsStudents who wish to be considered for transfer admission to the College ofEngineering from another university, must satisfy both the WVU general requirementsand as a minimum have completed Math. 15 and 16 and Chem. 15 and 16 or Physics1 1 and 12 (or their equivalents) with an overall 3.0 grade-point average, and a 2.5grade-point average in math and science.Engineering courses are open only to students formally admitted to the College ofEngineering and those students in other colleges and schools which specify engineeringcourses as curriculum requirements — provided, in each case, that the studentshave the specified prerequisite or corequisite subjects. Students in general studies orother programs at WVU who wish to transfer to the College of Engineering are notpermitted to enroll in engineering courses prior to being officially accepted as anengineering major.Applications for transfer student admission to undergraduate programs in theCollege of Engineering must be received according to the schedule below:Desired Date of Entry:Deadline Date for Receipt of Application:Summer Session or First Semester Preceding March 15Second Semester Preceding November 1The number of transfer students accepted into the College of Engineering isgoverned by the enrollment capacities of each of the seven undergraduate engineeringprograms. First admission priority is granted to those students currently matriculated atWVU and in pre-engineering programs which meet the articulation agreement (Boardof Regents Administration Bulletin No. 23) at state colleges and universities withinWest Virginia; second priority to students enrolled in pre-engineering programs atprivate institutions located in West Virginia; and third priority to students from othercolleges and universities. Within the three categories cited above, preferential admissionis in the following order: West Virginia residents, other U.S. residents, andinternational students. Transfer student records will be evaluated on or about June 15,August 15, and December 30.College of Engineering 203
