Is there a specific time frame in which students are required to declare a major in your department? If yes, when? STUDENTS APPLY DIRECTLY TO AN ENGINEERING MAJOR.

Does the Undergraduate Adviser (staff) sign the Education Abroad Program academic planning form, or must a faculty adviser (professor) sign? THE ASSOCIATE DEAN MUST APPROVE ALL STUDY ABROAD PLANS AND IS THE ONLY ONE WHO NEEDS TO APPROVE EAP. 3. Should we advise students to make an appointment to have their academic planning form signed in your department? If so, do they need to bring a transcript or any other supplemental materials with them to their appointment? THEY SHOULD MEET WITH THEIR ENGINEERING STUDENT ADVISER AND THEY WILL FORWARD THE FORMS TO THE ASSOCIATE DEAN. IN SOME CASES, STUDENTS MUST MEET WITH THE ASSOCIATE DEAN. 4. What is the maximum amount of major credit given for courses taken during the education abroad program? Is this maximum calculated by number of courses or by units of credit? Please explain. EACH PROGRAM IS INDIVIDUALLY DISCUSSED WITH THE STUDENT’S ADVISER AND ASSOCIATE DEAN. 5. Are students in your department able to undertake senior honors theses the semester following EAP participation or are there restrictions? Please explain. THIS HAS NEVER COME UP IN OUR COLLEGE. 6. Does your department calculate EAP grades into the departmental GPA? YES 7. Are EAP grades counted towards departmental honors? I BELIEVE SO BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF THE UC GPA. 8.

THEY NEED TO CONTACT THEIR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING STUDENT AFFAIRS ADVISER AND SUBMIT AN ACADEMIC SCHEDULE BEFORE THE CODE WILL BE RELEASED TO THEM. |
