SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

ACADEMIC POLICIES

Unless specifically stated in the following policies, students are bound to the academic policies and procedures stated in the UNF catalog and student handbook. Students should always consult the catalog and student handbook for policies not specifically described herein. These policies are in addition to standard UNF policies, and in some cases may be more restrictive. It is your responsibility to know which policies affect your academic progress and graduation.

Satisfactory Progress Policy

All UNF based undergraduate engineering students must maintain satisfactory progress towards their degree. Failure to maintain satisfactory progress will result in an advisor hold on the student’s record and they will not be able to enroll until they have met with an academic advisor, and revised their plan of study. For all three engineering programs, satisfactory progress requires the following courses be completed with an appropriate grade by the end of the semester shown:

The School of Engineering enforces the "two repeat" rule for all prerequisite and core courses offered by the School for its major programs. Students who do not successfully complete a prerequisite or core requirement for a School of Engineering course on the first attempt (i.e., earn a grade of D, F, W, WP, or WF) must repeat the course. Students who do not successfully complete a course within three attempts will not be permitted to register for courses offered by the School in future semesters. The only exceptions to this policy are withdrawals for medical, military, and fully refunded withdrawals (i.e., WM, WS and WR respectively).

Introduction to Engineering Courses taken at Other Universities

All students who have not taken a comparable course at another university must complete

Introduction to Engineering, EGN 1001C. At the discretion of the Academic Advisor, the student may be required to discuss with the current instructors, the course content of Intro courses taken at another university to assess whether another course may be allowed to substitute.

4

Independent Study and Supervised Undergraduate Research Policy

A student after consulting with a faculty member and with the approval by the School of

Engineering Director may register to do an independent study, or supervised undergraduate research project with the faculty member. The primary purpose of these courses is to conduct research of mutual interest between the student and the faculty member. The Independent Study shall not be used to complete a required course in the program.

CLEP Policy

A student with academic preparation relevant to the content of a required course may file a request to be exempted from that course. The student will make file this request to the Academic

Advisor, who in cooperation with the Director of Engineering and relevant departmental faculty, will determine an appropriate means of evaluation. While a student can be exempted from the course, the credits are not exempted and another course must be taken to complete the program.

D Policy

As of Spring 2015 (including the Spring 2015 Semester) the School of Engineering will not accept a D in ANY engineering courses. Students who do not earn a C or better in any class must repeat the course, and may not advance to any post-requisite courses. Students admitted into the BS engineering program prior to summer of 2012, fall under the older “D-Policy.” For these students, only D’s (up to three) earned prior to Spring 2015 will be accepted, and no D’s will be allowed from Spring 2015 moving forward.

Incomplete Grades

At the instructor’s discretion, students who have not completed required work in a course by the end of the semester may be assigned a grade of “I.” For an “I” to be assigned, the student must have completed a substantial portion (at least a majority) of the course with a passing grade. An

“I” cannot be used to avoid an “F” grade

PROCESSES

1.

REGISTRATION

There are 3 registration periods at UNF: Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.

Registration for New Students

New students can only register for one semester (incoming summer students can only register for the summer term and must then register for the fall semester).

New students should always meet with the Engineering Advisor to discuss course selection. At this time, the student’s name is entered into the Engineering Advisor’s database and assigned a faculty advisor. This will allow the Advisor to communicate with the students concerning course or curriculum changes.

Registration for Continuing Students

Continuing students are allowed to register for the summer and fall at the same time, typically in

April. If a student knows what courses to take, he/she is not required to see the Engineering

Advisor or faculty advisor but may register at the appropriate time. The appropriate time is assigned to the student via a “time ticket” which can be found in the students’ UNF online

MyWings approximately one week prior to the beginning of registration.

Students who receive a registration error can either see the Engineering Advisor or email the advisor (preferred) to solve the problem.

2.

OTHER STUDENT ACCOMODATIONS

Military and Veteran Students

Military and Veteran students should visit the Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) in Building 57 (Education & Human Services), Suite 2700. MVRC was established in 2009 to serve as the center point of entry for veterans and their families as they navigate the civilian and academic worlds.

During term sessions, MVRC is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.,

Fridays 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During intersession, the center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Disabled Students

The Disability Resource Center (DRC) promotes and facilitates partnerships among UNF students with disabilities and the UNF community. The DRC is located in Building 57

(Education & Human Services), Room 1500.

The services provided by the DRC are for students with diagnosed disabilities that include, but are not limited to:

Learning Disabilities

6

ADHD and ADD

Physical Disabilities

Medical Disabilities

Traumatic Head Injury

Blind or Low Vision

Deaf or Hard of Hearing

Speech Disabilities

Psychological or Emotional Disabilities

Other Diagnosed Disabilities

3.

GRADUATION

UNF students are required to apply for graduation. The application can be made online or by submitting a form to One Stop. The appropriate time to submit the graduation application is the semester prior to graduation. In addition, the Engineering Advisor monitors the students taking the senior design courses during the previous summer. During this period, the Engineering

Advisor will alert the student to any potential deficiencies. This will allow the students the following year to complete these deficiencies.

4.

PROVISIONAL ADMISSION, ACADEMIC PROBATION, SUSPENSION

Provisional Admission

Students who have applied to the School of Engineering, having previously obtained a “C+” or better in 8 credit hours of pre-engineering courses, yet not having satisfied all other preengineering curriculum requirements, may be offered “Provisional Admission.” In the event of provisional admission, students must meet with the appropriate SOE Academic Advisor, and complete a “Provisional Admission Form” that lays out a maximum three-semester course plan to ensure timely full admission into the SOE program. Failure to meet this three-semester deadline will result in denial of the student’s admission to the program.

Academic Probation

According to University policy, a student is placed on probation if their term or overall GPA is below a 2.0. Probation is a warning to the student. Any student on Academic Probation status will receive a hold on their records, and will not be able to register for the next semester until they meet with the appropriate School of Engineering Advisor and complete a School of

Engineering Academic Probation Form acknowledging that they understand the consequences of

Academic Probation status (see suspension policy below)

7

Suspension

The UNF School of Engineering has adopted a policy of suspension that is more stringent than that of the university. In addition to the standing university policy on suspension, a student will be suspended from the School of Engineering if they meet either of the following criteria:

The student is placed on Academic Probation status for the next registered semester, or

The student is placed on Academic Probation status for a third time, regardless of the timing of the occurrence of the first two instances

Any student who is suspended from the program will not be allowed to register for further engineering courses, or continue in the Engineering program without an approved repeal of their suspension. Students who wish to appeal their suspension from the program can file a

Suspension Appeal Form with the undergraduate advisor to be reviewed by the School of

Engineering Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC). The UCC will review Suspension

Appeal forms once each semester, prior to advance registration for the next consecutive semester.

5.

ACCEPTING TRANSFER COURSES

If a student transfers to UNF from a Florida State School, transfer credits are automatically granted due to the statewide catalog system. Courses within the state catalog system with the same number have identical course content. If a student wishes to transfer credit from a non-

Florida school, a request is first made to the School of Engineering Academic Advisor. The

Advisor will direct the student to meet with an appropriate member of the UNF faculty to discuss the proposed transfer course.

The student is advised to bring as much information as possible to the meeting: course description, course syllabi, course assignments, etc. If the course is deemed comparable to the

UNF course, the faculty member will email this fact to the School of Engineering Advisor who will substitute the course into the student’s Degree Evaluation.

6.

CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION

The University of North Florida Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program is designed to assist students achieve their educational and career goals, in conjunction with meeting the needs of Coop employers. Students gain practical work experience relevant to their major field of studies through supervised part time work.

Co-op Course

Students interested in a Co-op course should first meet with the Career Coordinator Liaison in the Career Services Office, Building 2 (Founder’s Hall) Room 1100. The Liaison coordinates the Co-op programs for the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction. The student will be given paperwork that must be completed and signed by the Co-op employer. The form must be returned to the Engineering Advisor and the Director of Engineering for approval.

Once approved, the student is allowed to register for one credit per term of Co-op credit. The completed form with all approvals is then returned to the Career Coordinator Liaison. Up to 3

Co-op credits may be used to satisfy the technical elective requirements.

13.

ENGINEERING ORDERING PROCEDURES

Student Class Project Order Forms

Students requiring equipment or items ordered for their class projects must request their orders by completing order forms provided by the Lab Managers. Orders are placed on Tuesdays of each week from 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Order forms must be given to Lab Managers by Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. Failure to meet this deadline will cause a week’s delay in ordering.

Order forms must obtain the name of the vendor, part number, course number, requesting instructor’s signature and date, quantity needed, item price, shipping and handling charges, and the total of the order. A list with this information may be attached to the order form to avoid using multiple forms.

Shipping will be ground delivery only unless approved by the School’s Director. Expedited shipping may be requested and authorized after review by the director. All senior design orders must be approved by the director prior to placing orders.

Orders should be placed through sites in the U.S. as shipping times from overseas may be extended and returns may be non-existent. Items ordered will be delivered to the School of

Engineering main office in Building 50 Room 2500, and students will be notified for pick up.

Student Reimbursement for Ordering

If students make independent orders aside from going through the Lab Managers, the student will be reimbursed providing he/she provide the receipts. However, students must make every effort to place orders through the proper channels and not independently.

Once items are delivered and picked up by the student, the original receipt and packing slips must be submitted to the instructor who will turn in the receipt to the engineering office manager to process for reimbursements. Reimbursements to students will be mailed via direct pay invoice or UNF Foundation Accounting.

13

14.

PURCHASE REQUISITIONS AND SHIPMENTS

Initiating Purchase Requisitions

To purchase items, a quote must be provided from the vendor. New vendor forms must be completed if the vendor is not listed in the UNF Banner System. Vendor forms are found on the

UNF Purchasing website at http://www.unf.edu/purchasing/Vendor_Applications.aspx

.

Vendor documents required are: W-9, Vendor Certificate of Foreign Status for U.S. Tax

Withholding, and Registration Form.

The requester must send the vendor form to the vendor for completion prior to the purchase requisition being placed. Once the vendor form is received by the requestor, it is submitted to the UNF Purchasing Department for review and approval. Purchasing assigns an N-number and forwards the vendor number via an email to the School of Engineering Office Manager who will initiate a requisition.

If purchase is from engineering accounts, prior approval must be given from the director.

Funding from other sources must have fund account number included with the requisition. If purchase is IT equipment, the IT Department must give approval for any IT items or software.

Once all approvals are in place, the office manager must forward quotes and back up documentation for engineering items to UNF Purchasing to place orders. Quotes and back up documentation for IT equipment and software must be forwarded by the office manager to the

College of Computing, Engineering and Construction Computer Tech Department.

Vendor Payments

After purchase orders are placed, the office manager prints out the purchase order and attaches the requisition. Purchase items will be shipped via the UNF Shipping and Receiving Department for processing and delivered directly to the School of Engineering main office.

UNF Purchasing department is contacted by the office manager once items are received.

Purchasing initiates an invoice to the vendor for payment. An invoice is assigned a number, and the office manager prints out the invoice and attaches to files. Once charges show up on the end of the month budget ledger for reconciling, the purchasing process is complete.

Outgoing Shipments

Packages for off campus shipments must be prepared in a proper box, tube, or container prior to shipping. The shipper must print and attach address labels including contact phone numbers to and from the client. UPS or Fed Ex account numbers must also be provided.

The shipper must arrange for pick-up of package/s by contacting the UNF Shipping and

Receiving Department via the engineering office manager or faculty.

15.

TRAVEL PROCEDURES

Paper Travel Authorizations (TAR)

Student clubs propose their travel to the director of engineering regarding supplemental funding necessary to travel and submit a budget sheet with names of all students traveling and estimated costs. If the director does not approve assisting with funding, students should seek additional

14

funding independent of the engineering department or from other sources.

With funding approval from the director of engineering, students report to the office manager about applying approved expenses to the department’s Purchasing Card (PCard). One student from the group must fill out a paper Travel Authorization Report form (TAR) and a signed

Student Waiver Liability Form, obtained from the office manager which must be completed by each student traveling.

The TAR must be signed by the traveler and submitted to the office manager to route for approvals from the director and dean. The original TAR and liability form must be sent to UNF

Travel Department for processing.

Rental Cars

Upon approval of the student’s TAR, if required rental vehicle is needed, the traveler must make reservations via UNF’s rental car carrier, AVIS Rental using economy / compact car. If the cost of the rental car exceeds approved amount, the student club must reimburses the department.

Reimbursement checks are given to the office manager for processing.

The traveler or driver of the rental car must print a copy of the reservation and take the document to the UNF Controller’s Office, Building 53 (Hicks Hall) Suite 2800 with the TAR to request a rental car voucher prior to picking up the vehicle. The traveler or driver must bring the voucher to the office manager who keeps a copy and files with the traveler’s TAR.

The day of travel, the traveler must provide the Voucher Form to AVIS Rental Car Agency in order to pick up the vehicle. Once travel is complete, the traveler returns the vehicle to the car rental agency. Traveler must hold on to the original car rental return receipt for reimbursement.

Student Travel Reimbursement (TR)

The student must submit all original receipts to include, car rental, airfare, gas, tolls, parking, etc. to the office manager once travel is complete in order to be reimbursed. The traveler must complete a paper Travel Reimbursement (TR) form and submit it along with receipts to the office manager who will obtain signatures from the director.

The office manager processes the TR via UNF Travel Department and files a copy of the TR with the TAR, and the student is reimbursed.

16.

MOVING ENGINEERING VEHICLES

Vehicles Check Out Process

Students requesting to use the School of Engineering Trailer or any other moving vehicle must obtain authorization from the Engineering Lab Manager. A Check Out form must be filled out with the student’s name prior to the student receiving the keys to the vehicle. The student must keep a record of accurate mileage usage while the vehicle is in his/her possession. Once the vehicle is returned, the student must return the vehicle to its proper parking space and return the keys to the engineering main office.
