Help with a Successful Transition to ECE
ECE Graduate Academic Success:
There is a separate process to transfer credits; credit transfer is not automatic with admission. See ECE Handbook, Transfer of Graduate Credit for more specifics.
Incoming Master of Science students, complete an ECE check-in appointment within the first six weeks of enrollment. At the check-in submit your advisor-approved MS Plan of Study. More about the plan will be explained at orientation.
Deadlines are based on the first letter of the last or family name: A-H: Due by the Second Friday J-R: Due by the Fourth Friday S-Z: Due by the Sixth Friday See Academic Calendar
To schedule your in-person ECE check-in with the MS Coordinator, you can either send an email to [email protected] or send a calendar invite from Outlook.
Incoming PhD students do not need to check-in with ECE.
