Selecting a Course
-
Go to the Timetable and check the
courses offered in the college of engineering for the semester you
will be here. Make a large selection of all the courses you're
interested in.
-
Next, visit the eCOW Course Homepages to see the content of each course
you have pre-selected and narrow down your selection.
-
Make sure to ask these questions before you select a course:
-
Is the course offered during the semester that I'm in Madison?
-
Is it open to graduate students only or to undergraduate students only?
-
Do I have the required prerequisites/background to take that course?
-
Do I have the required computer skills?
-
Does it match my degree requirements (if any)?
-
Will this class benefit me professionally, educationally, and personally?
-
Note also that:
-
You cannot take more than 18 credits if your status is undergraduate
student. This limit is 12 if your status is graduate student. A course
will usually count as 3 credits.
Although not recommended for exchange students, if you want to take more credits than is allotted to you, talk with your advisor.
-
If you find that the course(s) you want to take are full to capacity or "closed," ask the instructor's permission to enroll you or place you on a "waiting list." Many international students have been successful in gaining access to the courses of their first choice by pursuing these options.
