3. Completion of the English language requirements as follows:

• Regular English students: completion of ENGL120 and ENGL121

• Intensive English students: completion of ENGR101, ENGR102, and ENGL120

 4. Completion of at least 3 courses (9 credits) in the Major 

Note:

•  If a student completes 40 credits by the end of a Summer Session, the Acceptance to Major check is done at the end of the following semester.
• Students who change their major before ATM will be checked for ATM once they earn 40 credits.If all conditions 1, 2, and 3 above are met but it was impossible for the student to complete 9 hours in the major the student is given a warning rather than probation.
• Transfer students who do not satisfy all requirements for ATM at the time of transfer will be checked for ATM once they earn 40 hours including transfer credits.
