Students are admitted to the computer engineering program only when they pass all five of the following Gateway courses with a B or better: CMSC 201 – Computer Science I, MATH 151- Calculus and Analytic Geometry I, PHYS 121 – Introductory Physics I OR PHYS 122 – Introductory Physics II, CMPE 212 – Principles of Digital Design and ENES 101 – Introduction to Engineering with a grade of “C” or better. Enrolling in a gateway course at UMBC or a Computer Engineering Department equivalent course at another institution is considered an attempt.
Repeat policy
Computer Engineering majors are permitted two attempts in courses required for the major. They are considered registered for a course if they are enrolled after the end of the schedule adjustment period. A course in which the student receives a grade of “W” (Withdraw) is counted as an attempt. Please note that you will not be permitted a third attempt in required courses taken at UMBC or another institution. Students who have more than two attempts in any course required to progress in the major will not be permitted to major in Computer Engineering. This policy is applicable to transfer students.
