Transitional Nature of the First Year
In recognition of the transitional nature of the first year at the University, the Swanson School of Engineering permits a new freshman student to repeat required courses of the freshman year in which D or F grades were received. These courses must be repeated within one academic year following the original registration. Original credits and grade points from these courses will not be used in the calculation of the student’s cumulative grade point average. This applies only to freshman courses taken during the first calendar year of attendance as a new freshman student. This does not apply to transfer students.
In order to complete the freshmen engineering curriculum in two semesters, students must be eligible to take Calculus in the first semester. Engineering students who do not place into Calculus should consider taking prerequisite math classes during the summer or plan to spend an extra semester or two at Pitt-Greensburg before relocating.
