Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average in each year's grouping of architectural design studio courses (e.g., ARCH 2011, 2012, etc.) in order to enter the next sequence of studio courses. Each sequence of design studio courses must be started in the fall semester. A maximum of 9 credit hours may be taken on a pass/fail basis. Only courses taken as free electives within the undergraduate curriculum are eligible for pass/fail credit. See Institute regulations regarding pass/fail courses.

Students who complete both the Bachelor of Science (BS) and Master of Architecture (M Arch) in the College may apply up to 6 credit hours of graduate coursework toward both degrees. In order to qualify for this option, the student must complete the undergraduate degree with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher and complete the master's degree within a four-year period from the award date of the bachelor's degree.
