 To quickly view courses that have already been pre-approved for transfer from other institutions refer to the following two database:  

• For LS&A courses go to: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/transfer
• For Engineering, math and science courses, go to: http://www.engin.umich.edu/transferdatabase

If you cannot locate your selected institution or courses on the Transfer Equivalency Databases, you will need to submit a Transfer Credit Approval form: https://www.engin.umich.edu/students/academics/transfercreditapproval/index.jsp. You also need to submit a course description and syllabus to the Office of Recruitment and Admissions in 1108 Lurie or engincredit@umich.edu

The Office of Recruitment and Admissions will evaluate whether the course is equal to the same U-M course. Please allow 1-3 weeks for courses to be evaluated, and call ORA with questions: 734-647-7101.

The Registrar’s Office will post Spring/Summer Term course schedules in March ( http://umich.edu/~regoff/schedule/ ) and you can register for Spring/Summer courses at the same time you register for Fall Term courses in April. Six credits per term is considered full time; you can take a maximum of nine credits each term.

First, you need to exhaust all of the options available. Try all scheduling combinations you can - remember, for first-year engineering students, ENGR 100 or 101, Math, and science courses are priorities. Build your schedule around these courses.

If you still find that the classes you need to take are full, you can do the following:

1) First, add yourself to the waitlist if the option is available on Wolverine Access. Then, go to the first day of class and speak with the instructors about being added into the course.

2) If there is no waitlist option, contact the department offering the course to find out if you can be added to the waitlist or given an override. Here are the contacts for some common departments:

• Math Department: 734-764-0335, 2074 East Hall
• Chemistry Department: 734-763-6722, 4028 Chem Building
• Physics Department: 734-764-4437, 2477 Randall Lab
• ENGR 100 and 101: come to the EAC
• Engineering Departmental Courses: http://www.engin.umich.edu/departments/  

Go to the International Programs in Engineering (IPE) office, 245 Chrysler Center, or visit the IPE website for more information.

• Students are not awarded credit for Chemistry 130 if they place into Chemistry 210. A placement into 210 just means you have sufficient knowledge to start with that course instead of Chemistry 130, if you prefer.
• We recommend students only take organic chemistry (Chemistry 210 and its lab, 211) if they are considering a major in Materials Science Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or are planning on following a pre-health curriculum. The College of Engineering only requires one chemistry course and lab, so if you are not planning on one of these majors, you can just take Chem 130 and its lab, 125/126.
• Talk with your EAC advisor if you're not sure which Chemistry course is right for you.

• Talk with your EAC advisor about your plans.

• Attend a Cross-Campus Transfer Information Session. To view dates/times, go to the LSA website: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/transfer

• Meet with an LSA advisor to discuss your new career path and officially apply. To make an appointment call: 734-764-0332

• Note: You must complete your first year in the College of Engineering with a 2.0 GPA to be eligible to transfer.

• 0 to 24 credits – First-year
• 25 to 54 credits – Sophomore
• 55 to 84 credits – Junior
• 85 or more credits – Senior

Go to http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/advising/

No, as long as you pass the course with a C or better, you will receive the credit. No grades will be recorded on your U-M transcript.

First, discuss the situation with your EAC advisor.

To view the process, go to: http://www.engin.umich.edu/bulletin/rules/transfer.html 

If you are among the first few on the waitlist, chances are good you will get a spot. Always be sure to attend the first day of class and speak with the instructor about getting in.

You should always have a backup class in case you cannot get into your preferred course. Remember that you can add/drop classes in the first three weeks of the Fall or Winter Term without consequence.

As an engineering student, you will have a challenging course load. For each hour you spend in class, you should expect to study at least 2-4 hours outside of class. It is not unusual for students to study for 35+ hours a week. Study time includes homework, reading, going to office hours and academic resource labs, working with peers, etc.

The VARK is a questionnaire that provides users with a profile of their learning preferences. Your results will show preferences for Visual, Aural, Reading/Writing, or Kinesthetic ways of learning new information.

Follow the link to see which way you learn best! Then, talk with your advisor about which study strategies and U-M resources would work best for you.

Contact the individual language department (i.e., Department of Asian Languages, Romance Languages, etc.) to find out when you can take the exam.

No, the LSA deadlines do not apply to engineering students.

The College of Engineering has their own drop/add and pass/fail deadlines that you will follow for all of your classes, regardless of the school or college offering the course. To see the deadlines for this term, you can check the CoE Bulletin: http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/bulletin/intro/deadlines.html

• It is important to know the deadlines for each term! Refer to: http://www.engin.umich.edu/bulletin/intro/deadlines.html
• In the first three weeks of the term, you can add or drop a course on Wolverine Access without a "W" being posted to your transcript. In other words, there is no consequence or record of any drop/add changes made in the first three weeks.
• Between weeks 4-9, come to the EAC to fill out a drop form. Your instructor and EAC advisor will need to sign the form. You will receive a "W" on your official transcript. Be sure to speak with your EAC advisor about your intention to drop a course.
• You are able to add a class at any time with proper documentation. Stop by the EAC to pick up an Add form, and then get your instructor's signature.
• After the 9th week of the term, you cannot drop a course unless you have an extenuating circumstance. Speak with your advisor for more information and refer to: http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/scholasticstanding/petitions/latedrop/

• Start of term through week three: use Wolverine Access.
• Week four through week nine:

1. Go to the Engineering Advising Center, 230 Chrysler Center, or your engineering department, if you are declared.

2. Fill out a drop/add form.

3. Obtain signature of course instructor.

  5. Obtain the signature of your EAC or Program Advisor.
  6. Submit the petition to the Scholastic Standing Committee in 230 Chrysler Center. Documentation of extenuating circumstances must be submitted.

A 'W' means that you dropped a class after the deadline, and the College approved the drop. It looks better than a failing grade, so it is a good choice if you think you will not pass the course. Your GPA is not affected. 

A few "W's" can be expected during your time at U-M. However, you do not want to drop courses often. Talk with your advisor if you have trouble keeping up with your course work.

• No, you can only take humanities, social sciences or general electives pass/fail.
• You can take up to 14 credits pass/fail.
• To pass/fail a course during the first three weeks of classes, elect it as pass/fail on Wolverine Access. During weeks 4-9, come to the EAC to have an advisor sign a pass/fail form.

You have the first nine weeks of the Fall or Winter Term to elect a course pass/fail. Refer to the CoE Bulletin for this term's dates: http://www.engin.umich.edu/bulletin/intro/deadlines.html
