Academics

Departmental Requirements

The following academic policies apply to any student who is identified as an Engineering Technology (ET) major in one of the four ET programs--Electronics (ELE), Manufacturing (MFS), Mechanical (MEC), or Telecommunications (TEL)--or as an Industrial Distribution (ID) major and to any student who seeks admission to one of the four ET programs or the ID program. These policies apply to all ET and ID stduents regardless of classification (U1, U2, U3, U4, or U5), lower/upper division status (ENTL, ENTC, IDIL, IDIS), and assigned catalog.
Students are encouraged to use these academic policies, along with other important information sources, for guidance in their undergraduate programs. Official information sources include the Texas A&M University Undergraduate Catalog, the Texas A&M University Student Rules, the Texas A&M University On-line Schedule of Classes, "myrecord.tamu.edu" system, departmental academic policies, academic advisors, program coordinators, faculty advisors, the ETID web site, and university and departmental distribution lists.
  C or Better Grade Requirement
  Prerequisites

C or Better Grade Requirement

ET Students

Students in any of the four Engineering Technology programs (Electronics, Manufacturing, Mechanical, and Telecommunications) must earn grades of C or better in the following courses.
If a student earns a grade of D or F in any of these courses, the student is required to repeat the course before enrolling in a more advanced course that has the D/F course as a prerequisite. A student may attempt a course no more than three times, including courses graded Q or W but excluding those graded NG, unless approval has been received from the department. A student who has not successfully completed a course after attempting it three times will be blocked from further enrollment in engineering technology.

IDIS Students

Students in the Industrial Distribution program must earn grades of C or better in the following courses.
If a student earns a grade of D or F in any of these courses, the student is required to repeat the course before enrolling in a more advanced course that has the D/F course as a prerequisite. A student may attempt a course no more than three times, including courses graded Q or W but excluding those graded NG, unless approval has been received from the department. A student who has not successfully completed a course after attempting it three times will be blocked from further enrollment in industrial distribution.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for courses are identified in the course descriptions in the current Texas A&M Univeristy Undergraduate Catalog and/or the Texas A&M University On-line Schedule of Classes. A student is required to follow the prerequisite requirements as defined in the current catalog regardless of the catalog to which the student is assigned.
List of ENTC Prerequisites
List of IDIS Prerequisites
A student must complete all prerequisites for a course with a grade of C or better by the start of the semester in which the student plans to enroll in the course.
A student is responsible for checking the prerequisites for each course to insure the prerequisite requirements have been satisfied. A student who registers for a course for which he/she lacks the necessary prerequisite course(s) and/or the prerequisite grade requirement will be required to drop the course. A student who is told to drop a course and is still enrolled by the deadline set each semester will be administratively dropped by the department. If a student is administratively dropped from a course, the student is responsible for all financial obligations associated with the drop. An administrative drop may adversely impact (including, but not limited to): health insurance benefits, financial aid, athletic eligibility, INS status, veterans' benefits, and eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities.
Students may, in some cases, be required to take additional courses not required in the curriculum defined in the catalog to which they are assigned in order to meet prerequisite requirements. The department will make every effort to avoid such instances; however, there are no guarantees.
