AdmissionFirst-Time AdmissionFirst-time college student applicants to the undergraduate program will be admitted if they obtain: (1) an ACT mathematics score of at least 25; and (2) an ACT composite score of at least 24, or a high school class rank in the upper 25 percent.First-time college student applicants who do not meet the standard criteria but do meet UMKC general admission requirements, and have other indicators that demonstrate potential for success, may be admitted to the Civil and Mechanical Engineering Department under the "V" Modifier. The student may apply for acceptance into the civil engineering discipline after completing 24 semester credit hours of the required coursework with acceptable grades. High school students planning to apply to the civil engineering program should pursue a college preparatory program that emphasizes mathematics, science and communication skills.
Re-admissionStudents seeking re-admission must have been in good academic standing when last enrolled, otherwise, re-admission requires a formal review by the department upon written appeal by the student.
Transfer AdmissionNon-first-time college students (transfer students) will be admitted provided they have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA and a last-term GPA of at least a 2.0 at each institution attended. Otherwise, a formal review with a written appeal by the department is required. GPA’s are computed using only transferable coursework applicable toward the civil engineering degree. Coursework satisfactorily completed at other universities or colleges is transferable as applicable. Engineering courses are accepted only if they are from ABET-accredited engineering programs or have been approved as part of a transfer articulation agreement.
International StudentsInternational students transferring from non-ABET-accredited engineering programs are required to have the equivalent of a 2.5 cumulative GPA, with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 and a last-term GPA of at least 2.0 at each institution attended. GPA’s are computed using only transferable coursework (As defined below) applicable towards the civil engineering degree.
International Transfer CreditUnless the international institution is recognized by ABET, only sophomore level (200 level) or below coursework may be transferred by petition and review of the academic committee. Final acceptance of transfer credit by petition requires completion of one academic year of probation. Any identified deficiencies during that probation period will, on the review of the academic committee, require remedial coursework.
