At the time of application, your transcript and supporting documentation is evaluated and it is determined if you are lacking any of the required prerequisite courses. If you have been assigned any additional course requirements (also known as deficiency courses), it is listed in your ASU Admission letter. If you did not receive a copy of your Admission Letter, email GoGrad@asu.edu.
There are three options to clear additional course requirements, including the option to take and complete the course by the end of your first year in the program. See below details regarding the three options and the respective deadlines to meet additional course requirements.
If you believe you have previously completed a course that is equivalent to the additional course requirement that was assigned then you can submit the waiver form here: https://fultonapps.asu.edu/deficiency/. You will need to upload the Petition for Reevaluation form and supporting documents, such as syllabus, catalog description, and university transcripts (including the grade scale), to prove that you have met the requirements. Be advised that the documents you uploaded during the admission application have been evaluated, so a reevaluation petition should only be submitted if you have new information to provide. Once the petition has been reviewed, the decision is final. Petitions may only be submitted before your first semester in the program.
You may be able to take competency exams offered through ASU’s Career Catalyst platform to satisfy the additional course requirements before the start of your first semester. These exams will draw on your previous knowledge of the topic area.
Available courses:
IEE 376 - Deterministic Operations Research (1 attempt)
IEE 380 - Probability and Statistics for Engineering Problem Solving (1 attempt)
IEE 470 - Stochastic Operations Research (1 attempt)
Courses not available:
CSE 110 - Principles of Programming
CSE 205 - Object-Oriented Programming and Data Structures
MAT 242 - Elementary Linear Algebra or MAT 342 Linear Algebra or MAT 343 Applied Linear Algebra
A student must pass the final exam to complete the course.
The exam may only be taken prior to attempting the for-credit course.
Once you have passed the final exam, you will need to upload your certificate here: https://fultonapps.asu.edu/deficiency/
The certificate will only be accepted if the exam was taken by the deadline for your program.
Note: Career Catalyst courses are non-credit bearing, and cannot be counted for credit to any degree program at ASU. Use of these courses as will only apply to additional course requirements assigned at admission.
You may take for-credit, graded courses to satisfy assigned additional course requirements by the end of the first year, including summer. These courses will appear on your ASU transcript, but do not count toward your degree requirements.
IMPORTANT:
Industrial Engineering students must earn a 'B' or better to clear additional course requirements.
Graduate students are required to take at least one graduate-level course appearing on the iPOS every fall and spring semester in order to meet the continuous enrollment requirement. There is an exception to this if you are taking additional course requirements that are listed on your admit letter.
A student has a total of two attempts to clear the additional course requirement. Additional course requirements may not be completed a third time.
Students may complete equivalent additional course requirements at a community college if available.
