This is an academic degree in computer science and computing technologies; it does not constitute professional engineering licensure or a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) credential.

Standard tuition is $79.00/SCH. Estimated total program cost is approximately $9,730–$9,930 including registration and technology fees. Special rates and waivers are not included in that estimate.

Minimum age is 17 (under 18 with written parent/guardian permission). Proof of secondary education is required, including a recognized post-secondary technical/engineering diploma where applicable. Ability-to-Benefit is not offered.

No general entrance test is required for applicants who provide proof of secondary education. Non-English-educated applicants must meet a minimum of Duolingo English Test (DET) 100, TOEFL iBT 70, IELTS 6.0, or another institution-approved standardized English proficiency test.

An optional admissions advisory consultation is available; it is not a required admissions gate. The institution may establish an admission assessment. The institution has open enrollment. Applicants who meet the published requirements are admitted. Admission may be denied or revoked only for incomplete requirements, falsified documents or information, or a prior conduct termination.

Credit for prior learning may be awarded subject to published limits and verification.

Maximum credit for work completed outside a collegiate setting is 15 SCH (unless awarded via recognized evaluative exams such as AP or CLEP). No more than one-half of the degree's credit hours (60 SCH) may come from all outside sources combined — transfer, non-collegiate, and evaluative exams together.

Transferability of credit is at the discretion of the receiving institution. No articulation agreements are currently in place.

Courses use a percentage-to-letter scale with corresponding GPA points (for example, 93%–100% = A / 4.0; 70%–72% = C- / 1.7).

A course is passed only with a final grade of D (60%) or higher and demonstrated competency on required outcomes defined in the syllabus. A grade of F is non-passing.

See the grading page for the full scale and Satisfactory Academic Progress for continued-enrollment standards.

Students seeking to return after withdrawal or termination must meet current admissions requirements and any conditions tied to the reason for leaving.

Readmission after termination for unsatisfactory progress or unsatisfactory attendance requires a minimum of one grading period (one course) to elapse, plus any additional conditions stated at the time of termination.

Contact the Registrar for current readmission steps and documentation requirements.
