Department Academic Policies and Procedures

You are advised to refer to the University Bulletin for detailed information on University Academic Regulations. 
The regulations stated here are in addition to any University or College regulations.

 

Matriculation Policy

All Industrial Engineering students must meet certain prerequisites prior to beginning sophomore level Industrial Engineering and other College of Engineering courses. They must:

Students not meeting the requirements in part (I) shall be given individual counseling in selecting one of the following options:

  •   Change major.

  •   Continue in current status, with a reduced number of credit hours per semester, and repeat key courses in math, freshman engineering, or computer science etc., before beginning sophomore and higher courses.

  •   Change major department within the College of Engineering and continue to attempt to fulfill the matriculation requirements.

  •   Individual advice and counseling for students deficient after the freshman year shall be provided by the Industrial Engineering department.

 

Advisement Process

When a student is majoring in Industrial Engineering, he or she is assigned a faculty advisor. 

The Advisor:

  1. Provides information, advice, and recommendations in academic and related areas;
  2. Directs the students to sources which explain in detail academic regulations, courses prerequisites and graduation requirements;
  3. Helps the new students to understand the degree to which one should assume responsibility for one's own program planning;
  4. Provides vocational guidance and occupational information in one's area of specialty, and
  5. Refers the student to the appropriate individual, office or agency when further assistance is necessary.
The department Chairperson is also available to students needing information about different curricula and help in forming educational plans.  Instructors are usually the best source of help to students having difficulty with particular subjects.  Members of the faculty keep office hours and expect students to consult them individually whenever special assistance is needed. The department emphasizes that students have the primary responsibility for planning their individual programs and meeting graduation requirements.

 

Changes in Schedule

A change in a student's program may be made with the consent of his or her advisor and department chairman. 
Students may drop a course without penalty up until the official deadline of withdrawal. After the time limit has expired, withdrawal from any course will result in a grade of "F". 


Prerequisites and Co requisites

Prerequisites are courses or levels of achievement that a student is expected to have completed successfully by earning at least a passing grade prior to enrolling in a course. 
To be effective for any given semester, prerequisites have been set forth in the University Undergraduate bulletin or this handbook
It is the student's responsibility to satisfy prerequisites for any course enrolled. Computerized prerequisite searches will take place each semester. 
Failure to satisfy prerequisites will result in removal from enrollment in the course.
All students are required to show instructors proof of their prerequisites (semester taken and grade received) or corequisites (semester taken) during the first week of class.
Those students who do not meet prerequisite or corequisite requirements should drop the course and add other courses if possible before the add/drop deadline; such students will not be allowed to attend class lectures to take tests. They will receive a "F" incomplete grade if the course is not dropped.
No exceptions on prerequisites/corequisite will be allowed on all courses listed in this Industrial Engineering Handbook.


Industrial Engineering Policy on Course Registration

All Industrial Engineering students are advised to make an appointment with their advisor before registration period begins. 
Based on their advisor's recommendations, registration forms should be completed, signed by the student and his/her advisor, and submitted to the Chairman's office for approval and data entry.
The department office will enter all registration data into the administrative database. 
Failure to see the advisor or registering without advisor's approval will cause unnecessary delays in the student's graduation and the Registrar will be informed to drop such a student from all courses.


Final Exam Review Policy

Final exam papers are not returned to the students, but the instructor shall keep the final exam until the first month of the next regular semester. 
During this period, any student shall have an opportunity to review his/her exam paper. 
The fact that in some instances it may be impossible to provide a student with the opportunity to review his/her final exam paper is not sufficient to justify a re-examination.
