MAE Advising Policies

All ME undergraduate students must have at least one personal meeting with their adviser each semester. You will not be allowed to register for MAE courses until cleared by an advisor. A notice will be sent prior to the fall and spring advising periods notifying you of the dates of advising and when the sign-up sheet will be posted. At that time the student will pick up an advising packet and must have the advising sheet filled out prior to their appointment. Please check for any conflicts in class times and that any pre-requisites have been met.

It is the policy of the Mechanical Engineering Department that, to add/drop a course after the student has been advised; a student must complete and submit a new course change form with signature. If you are unable to come by room 204 Woolf Hall to fill out a new course change form, you may complete, sign, and return the form either by fax or e-mail with attachment in PDF format to Ms. Gordon (fax: 817-272-2952 and e-mail: maeundergrad@uta.edu). The requests will not be processed until November 28th after which you will be notified by e-mail if your request has been approved or declined. When requesting a new course, please make sure you have had the pre-requisites for the course.

All e-mails pertaining to advising and/or to add a course must be submitted to Ms. Lanie Gordon at maeundergrad@uta.edu. Ms. Gordon will follow policy #1 in handling the e-mail question. Please do not e-mail the adviser directly.

To receive transfer credit for SPCH 3302, the transferred course must have included professional/technical communication.

Students who have not completed all freshman and sophomore level science and engineering courses, plus 6 hours English writing (1301,1302) will be limited to taking no more than a total of 12 credit hours of junior/senior level courses, pending advisor approval, until all freshmen/sophomore level courses are completed. Approval to take upper level courses will be based on course completion and GPA.

The senior design projects (MAE 4287 and MAE 4188) must be taken within the last three semesters (including summer session) of graduation.

It is the student's responsibility to drop a course if they failed the prerequisite(s) for that course in the prior semester.

During the add-drop days, students may drop, add or change sections by SAM or Web. Under special circumstances, a department may require a student to change sections. A student will not be permitted to add a course for credit or make a section change after the last day of late registration. Drops after late registration are handled in the department offering the course. To change a major course of study, a student should file an application in the proposed major department before arranging a schedule.
