Internal Transfer
|
Undergraduate students not originally accepted to the School of Engineering who wish to declare an engineering major may apply to do so as early as the spring quarter of their first year. Students must complete and submit an Engineering Internal Transfer Application to be considered. Once submitted, all application materials are evaluated by the appropriate Department Chair, and students are then notified of the decision within two weeks of submission. The School of Engineering recommends that students wishing to transfer speak with the department that houses the intended major as soon as possible, even before submitting a transfer application. This way, students can begin to receive informal advising on which courses to take that will apply towards the program of study. Advice to students hoping to transfer to the School of Engineering: Any student who wishes to be eligible to transfer into the School of Engineering as early as Spring of their freshman year should complete the following courses in the fall and winter terms:
If the intended major is Web Design and Engineering, then PHYS 31 and CHEM 11 may be replaced by any course satisfying the Natural Science Core requirement. Foundation course sequences should be started (and possibly finished)
Successful applicants for transfer into engineering will have demonstrated competence in the math and science classes listed above. Four Year plans for each engineering major are available from the programs offering each major. Students with majors outside of Engineering, may not enroll in any engineering course (except Applied Mathematics course, AMTH) until the add/drop period, which begins the first day of classes and ends after the first week; these courses may only be taken on a space available basis. If there is space available, it is advisable for a student planning to transfer to engineering to enroll in ENGR 1 in the fall or winter terms. Depending upon the intended major, such a student may also attempt to enroll in any engineering course for which he or she has satisfied all prerequisites. A student who enters an engineering program at any time beyond initial entrance to the university may require more than four years to complete the program. When to Submit Your Application: First-year students will not be considered for transfer to the School of Engineering until the spring quarter of the first year, and may not submit this application until that term. Students beyond their first year may submit this application at any time for consideration. In order to receive a decision in time for mandatory spring advising, students must submit this application by 5:00 pm on Monday, April 8. Applications will still be accepted after this date, but applicants might not have a decision before the advising and registration period. Please submit your application and written response to Shane Wibeto in the Undergraduate Programs area of the Dean's Office (second floor, Bannan Engineering). If you have any questions, please contact Shane at swibeto@scu.edu.
