This page explains registration procedures for Rising 5th Years who have been admitted to the BSBME/MSE Integrated Program through the Step 1 application process and are registering for their first semester in graduate standing.

STEP 1: PREPARE

Run your BSBME IDA: https://registrar.utexas.edu/studentsdegrees/ida. Make sure your IDA lists 92-99% with in-progress courses. Email Chase (c.dawkins@austin.utexas.edu) with any corrections that need to be made.

...

9 hours (3 classes) is considered full time. Make a plan for which 3 graduate courses you wish to take in fall, being careful to check how they will count in your MSE Program of Work. The Fall Course Schedule is posted two weeks before registration begins. The approved coursework listing shows how graduate courses count toward the MSE program of work. This list is not exhaustive. If you want to take a course that is not listed, email Dr. Andrew Dunn (adunn@utexas.edu) for permission to take the course. 


STEP 2: ADVISING

Email Brittain (b.sobey@utexas.edu) & Lacy (lacy.white@utexas.edu) your completed program of work, including completed graduate courses and proposed courses for the following semester. Brittain will sign your PoW electronically on behalf of Dr. Dunn and send the unique numbers for your Fall graduate courses to ESS to obtain approval for you to register for the them.Lacy will confirm via email whether the courses you've selected are matched to an appropriate coursework requirement. 

Warning
Your advising bar will not be lifted until your Program of Work form is received.


STEP 3: REGISTER FOR 3 GRADUATE CLASSES

Rising 5th year students have two options: register for fall courses during the spring registration period (which requires permission from ESS) or wait and register yourself in the summer registration period after you've been admitted to the Graduate School. 

For instructions on how to request approval from ESS and register during the spring registration period only, please see STEPS 3 and 4 on this page. Note: DO NOT send your forms to the Graduate School. Since you are taking these courses in graduate standing, you do not need to reserve them for graduate credit. The form is simply used to gain permission from ESS to enroll in the course. Once ESS approves your registration for the unique numbers, you should be able to register yourself.

Non-BME Graduate Classes: If we do not have authorization to add you, you can you want to enroll in a non-BME course that is restricted, send an email to the Graduate Coordinator (GC) in the department for the class, who can let you know if the department has the course . The course may require instructor approval or the course may be restricted through the first week of classes or whether you need to gain instructor approval to be added to the course. . If the course requires instructor approval, send a copy of your Reservation of Course for Graduate Credit form to the Graduate Coordinator as proof of instructor approval. 

Use the list of all GCs on Graduate Coordinators on campus to locate the appropriate person to email. Copy Brittain on these emails.

To register for BME 698A or 698B Thesis courses: complete the Thesis Registration Form (attached here) and send it to lacy.white@utexas.edu. Lacy will add you to the Thesis course manually. Note: since you will be taking these courses while in graduate standing, you do not need to complete forms to reserve these courses for graduate credit
