FAQ For Current Undergraduate Students
Where can I find undergraduate forms? Forms for course substitutions, petitions, and other undergraduate requests are available on the ISE Undergraduate Forms page.
Where can I find a list of accepted Technical Electives? A list of accepted technical electives is available on the ISE Technical Electives page. If you plan to take a 3000- or 4000-level technical class that is not on this list, you may submit a Technical Elective Petition to have it considered for credit. Please submit the petition before enrolling in the course.
Does adding a minor allow me to take more credit hours without incurring the Excess Hours Surcharge? No, adding a minor does not increase the amount of credits you are given toward the Excess Hours Surcharge. Only a double major increases the amount of credit you can use before paying for the surcharge.
Can I take a class without meeting the required prerequisites? Prerequisite requirements must normally be met before enrolling in a class. If you need an exception, you can submit a Prerequisite Override Petition using the Pre/Co-requisites Application Form.
If a class is not in the ISE department, do I still need to have a C to pass the class? Yes. You need a C or better in all of your classes to receive a degree from the ISE department.
Can I take a class at another college? Yes, you can, but only if you are not taking courses concurrently at UF. You will need to apply through FloridaShines.org, using your Gatorlink user ID and password. Please email undergradadvising@ise.ufl.edu once you apply to FloridaShines.org. NOTE: The last 25% of your credits (32 credits) MUST be taken at UF.
Does an internship automatically waive my summer requirements? No, you will need to petition the university if you wish to waive your summer requirements. You can find the Summer Enrollment Requirement Waiver form in the Files page on Canvas. You will need to attach a letter from the company to your petition. The letter needs to be on company letterhead, state briefly what you did and mention that you completed a full-time summer internship with their company.
How do I add internship or co-op credits? Internship and co-op credits are managed by the department. To add these credits, meet with an ISE advisor. Every 200 hours of work equals 1 credit, with a maximum of 3 credits. Important: Students cannot take zero credits for two consecutive semesters (including summer), or they will be dropped from UF and must reapply. Request internship credit during regular registration through the EIN4944 Registration Request Form.
When should I add internship or co-op credits? Add internship or co-op credits when registering for the semester you will be away on the internship. Once your internship begins, complete the Practical Work Experience Form.
I am currently away on an internship. Why don’t I have a registration date? There is no registration date because you are currently not taking any classes at UF. To receive your registration date, you must contact the registrar’s office.
