Applicants with prior histories of compliance deficiencies are advised to establish early contact with the Graduate Programs Office of the College of Engineering.

Tuition scholarship can be awarded only for courses applicable to a student’s degree program. Physical education and other unrelated class are not supported nor are withdrawals or audits.
