Open seats in an ECE undergraduate course are not a guarantee that a course will be made available to graduate students. Despite advisor approval or an instructor’s approval, an ECE undergraduate course may remain closed to graduate students. Students are advised to list more than thenumber the number of courses they need to take in a given semester on their registration form in order to obtain approval in advance and to be wellprepared well prepared for registration.
Graduate students are advised to discuss their preparedness to take an ECE undergraduate course with the instructor. Although graduate students are not subject to fulfillment of the prerequisites of an ECE undergraduate course, ECE undergraduate courses can be challenging. Some ECE undergraduate courses are 4 credit hours, and not 3 credit hours, due to the heavier workload. Note that students are charged tuition for the additional credit hour. Graduate students taking a 4-hour undergraduate course and Research Problems, for example, could reduce their Research Problems course hours so as not to exceed full-time enrollment for 9 hours.
