A master’s student seeking to use graduate coursework completed at another institution and not used or counted toward another degree must provide the ECE Graduate Studies Committee via an ECE Graduate Coordinator with an official transcript, the official explanation of the institution’s course numbering system and grading system, and the course description from the catalog of the institution. If the graduate course was taken as an undergraduate, an additional letter from an administrator of the institution is required, confirming that the course was not used toward the bachelor’s degree, that it is a graduate course ordinarily open to graduate students only, that special permission was required to enroll in the course, and that it was not counted toward the bachelor’s degree.
Visit the Graduate School’s course transfer credit website to review the additional requirements at the link HERE.
Along with these documents, the Petition to Transfer a Graduate Course From Another Institution form should be submitted by the ECE Graduate Advisor via an ECE Graduate Coordinator for approval by the graduate dean. That form can be found HERE.
In ECE, the ECE Track Advisor fills out the course equivalency section of the form and signs in the blank space below each equivalent course. The overall ECE Graduate Advisor, and not the ECE Track Advisor, signs at the bottom of the form with the assistance of the ECE Graduate Coordinator. This form must be submitted before 12 hours of graduate coursework are completed at UT Austin.
