IMPORTANT
•	International students on F1 visas can only count 3 credit hours of online classes per semester toward their minimum full-time requirements for immigration purposes.
•	Students who have completed 400-level ECE core courses at UNM in undergraduate status SHOULD NOT register for the same 500-level course before discussing options with their faculty advisor. Completing the same cross-listed 400/500 course at both levels will appear as a repeated course on the transcript and will not count toward degree requirements.
•	The maximum number of ECE 495/595 credits eligible to be counted toward degree requirements is 15, even if some of the credits were earned as an undergraduate. Credits earned beyond this limit will not count toward degree requirements.
•	Half-term 8-week online courses require twice as much work per week than a regular 16-week course since they cover the same material as a 16-week course in half the time. Students should carefully consider their time constraints before enrolling in 8-week sections.
•	Students should refer to the M.S. and Ph.D. Pathways on the ECE website for guidance through the degree process. The pathways include important deadlines and links to needed forms.

Contact the ECE Graduate Program Advisor if you have questions regarding these policies.
