- Be in good academic standing and meet minimum progress requirements.
- Have received a letter grade for all courses that satisfy Engineering degree requirements.
- Have met the following: a. completed at least the following five courses: MAT 21A, B,C; PHY 9A; and CHE 2A* and b. GPA of 2.0 or higher in all completed MAT, PHY, BIS and CHE courses required for your intended major and received a C- or higher in each of these courses. For Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, a 2.8 GPA or higher is required.
- Have no grade lower than a C- in any completed engineering course required for your intended major(s) taken at UC Davis.
- Have a UC GPA of 2.0 or higher in completed engineering courses. For Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering must have a 2.8 UC GPA or higher in completed engineering courses.
- For Computer Science Engineering a 3.0 overall UC GPA or higher is required. * Students changing their major into Computer Engineering are not required to take CHE 2A.
For students who transferred to UC Davis, you must:
- Be a registered student and have completed at least one quarter (minimum of 12 units) at UC Davis.

For students who have not completed all transfer admission requirements at their previous institution, they must earn a 2.0 GPA or higher in these remaining courses at UC Davis and receive a C- or better in each of these courses. For Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering a 2.8 GPA or higher is required.
- Have no grade lower than a C- in any completed engineering course required for your intended major(s) taken at UC Davis.
- Have a 2.0 UC GPA in completed engineering courses. For Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering must have a 2.8 UC GPA or higher in completed engineering courses.
