6.2 Off-Campus Transfers

[Table of Contents] [Previous] [Next]

If you have had previous post-secondary educational experience and are not currently enrolled at Seattle University , you may directly enter the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering by submitting an application to the Admissions Office. Be sure to specify either civil engineering or civil-environmental engineering as the intended field of study.

Minimum qualifications for admission to the Department are an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or better on a scale of 4.0 and a composite average of 2.5 in all of your technical courses. These include all mathematics, science, and engineering courses that you have taken. In both cases, the GPA calculation is based on all courses that are transferable to Seattle University regardless of whether or not they apply to the BSCE degree. Note, however, that grades earned in engineering technology programs are not included in GPA calculations because engineering technology courses are not transferable to Seattle University .

The decision to admit off-campus transfers directly into any program within the College of Science and Engineering is made by the Associate Dean. If you are denied direct admission to the department, you may still wish to enroll in the College of Science and Engineering as a general science major or in the College of Arts and Sciences as a premajor. If either of these possibilities is of interest to you, then you should make that clear at the time of application. After improving your record, you can seek a transfer to civil and environmental engineering according to the criteria given in Section 6.3.
