2. Earn a grade of "C" or better in English 1301 and the selected college-level mathematics course;
3. Receive a GPA (2) of at least 2.00 ("C")
   [NOTE:  UTD guarantees admission with a 2.50 GPA with no grade below a “C”];
   
4. Meet all Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements and course prerequisites; and
5. Complete at least 25% of the credit hours required for graduation through instruction by the college awarding the degree.

Note:
MATH 2413, 2421 and 2415 are required to satisfy the MATH 2417 and 2419. UTD's accelerated two-semester calculus sequence, MATH 2417 and 2419, is equivalent to the three-semester calculus sequence offered at community colleges. Students must take Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III in order to be equivalent.

Students must take both ENGR 1201 and 2105 to receive credit for the UTD ECS 1200 and CE 1202. In addition, student will be required to make up one additional credit hour in major upper level courses.

Students must take one course from each of the following course pairs (but not both) to receive credit: ENGR 2105 or 1172; ENGR 2106 or 2110; ENGR 2306 or 2310. Only one course from the pair will be accepted for transfer credit at UTD.
