Info of Registration & Advising for ECE Students

Each semester online registration will be blocked for ECE students until they meet with their assigned academic advisors and have an One-Year-Plan completed and signed by your advisor. This form can be completed using Microsoft Word and then be emailed to your academic advisor for digital signature. 

Register early for classes! This helps with department planning. Some classes fill up early-students who register late may not get into some classes.

It is the student's responsibility to check co/prerequisite requirements and time conflicts. For accurate information about course co/prerequisite requirements, students should check these bingo sheets and/or Purdue Fort Wayne Catalog. The registration requirements and timetable are:

• Use these class schedules when building your one-year course plan.


• Students must bring a complete one-year course plan One-Year-Plan to the advisor, normally during their office hours.


• Students should bring a copy of their unofficial transcript to the advisor.


• After approval of the course plan by their advisors, students will be able to register online.


• If you believe your academic class standing (freshman, sophomore, etc.) needs to be updated ask your advisor to have it changed. Your academic standing is based on the number of completed credit hours, and it is separate from your progression within the degree program.


• If you are planning to graduate please apply for graduation. There are application deadlines for each graduation term, so be sure to check the Graduation website.


• Students who are eligible for a minor in Mathematics and/or Physics should consult these webpages (Math, Physics) to ensure that the required forms are completed on time. For assistance or to have questions about minors answered, please contact the department that houses that minor. The Math Department is located in KT 200 and the Physics Department is located in KT 126B.

  ECE 30200 can be used to satisfy the requirements of Math minor. Please contact Math Department to request MyBluePrint exception after you complete ECE 30200.

  ECE 22900 and ECE 36800 may be used to satisfy the requirements of CS Minor. Please contact CS Department to make such requests after you complete these two courses. 



• If you are having problems registering online (after having your one-year plan approved) please contact your advisor.

Note: 
Your academic standing is based on the number of completed credit hours, and it is separate from the program progression within your ECE degree program.

Only relevant courses, i.e. they are in the bingo sheet, on your official transcript from the university are used in this determination of your program standing, specifically:

• 90 credits = Senior (before fall 2023)
• 90 credits (including ECE 36200) = Senior (after fall 2023)
• 60 credits = Junior
• 30 credits (including PHYS 15200) = Sophomore
