To remain in the major the student must earn a grade of C or better in all CHE courses, earn a grade of C or better in all required electives, and maintain good academic standing (i.e. a 2.0 or higher GPA each term and an overall cumulative GPA of 2.0 at WSU).

The Chemical Engineering undergraduate studies committee will determine the eligibility for readmission and probation conditions for students who are deficient and apply for re-entry into the major.
