Program planning is done under the guidance of University College academic advisors and advisors in the College of Engineering. Direct enrolment in the College of Engineering is available to those students with a minimum mathematics score of 25 on the ACT, a minimum mathematics score of 550 on the SAT, or to other well-qualified students. Students who are not directly enrolled in the College of Engineering can transfer to the College during their freshman or sophomore years, provided they can show evidence of good grades in relevant courses, especially mathematics and physics. In order to enter the BS in Geomatics Engineering Program, students must be accepted into the College of Engineering. This will entitle a student to be considered a Geomatics Engineering Pre-Major student.
Formal application is required for entry to the program.
Students must have a SPHR of at least 2.0, as well as an overall cumulative GPA of 2.0 to enter the Surveying program. Entry is competitive, as there are only a limited number of students permitted to be in the program at any one time. Higher GPA and SGPA scores will increase a student's chances of acceptance. Students transferring from another institution must meet the same entry requirements. Students transferring from other institutions should allow plenty of time for their applications to be assessed, as well as forwarding as much information about the various courses they have taken as possible.
