Students on probation should review the major sequence and internal transfer policies as probationary status may also impact these areas.
Students who are on engineering probation are required to complete an Online Probation Module and meet with their designated advisor. To determine who your designated advisor is and what type of probation you are on, go to UT Direct and view your probation advising secure academic note (SAN).
