ECE Course Permission Request Policy

Course permissions will not be given if you do not have the prerequisites for a class. At times, there are exceptions that will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, e.g., if you have taken a course equivalent to the prerequisite but the computer system does not recognize it.

For classes with multiple sections: Permission will not be given to over-enroll these classes unless there are work/school-related time conflicts. If there are time conflicts, your request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and permission should be requested using the Registrar Online Form.

Some ECE courses are restricted to students in the College of Engineering only. A permission number will not be given to a degree-seeking student if they are not enrolled in the College.

How to Request a Course Permission

Fall/Spring

During the regular academic year (Fall and Spring), all undergraduate class permission requests must go through this link. They are reviewed by the course instructors specified (with consultation with the Undergraduate Director if needed).

Summer/Winter Intersession

During the Summer and Winter Intersessions, permission requests are controlled directly by the instructor. Email the instructor directly.

Undergraduates Requesting Graduate Courses

If an undergraduate student who desires to take a graduate-level course, the student must directly email the course instructor requesting a permission to join. The instructor will decide whether the student can take the course, and if a positive decision is made, issue a permission number.

Accelerated Graduate (MS) Study Option

The Accelerated M.S. is a program available to EE, CMPE, and RE undergraduate students that allows them to complete a significant portion of their M.S. degree during their undergraduate studies.

Upon graduation from their Bachelor’s degree, students enroll in the M.S. program to complete the requirements. The Accelerated M.S. program is a Plan-A program, hence all the corresponding requirements apply. As such, the Accelerated M.S. program is a research-centered degree.

Seniors enrolled in the program conduct research under the supervision of their future M.S. major advisor. This research continues after graduation from the Bachelor’s degree into the Master’s degree studies and forms the basis for the student’s Master’s thesis.
