STEP 3: REQUEST PERMISSION TO

...

ENROLL 

This is a two-step process that uses the same forms. First, ESS must approve your request to enroll in a graduate course. Second, you must let the Graduate School know you want to reserve the course for use toward a future graduate degree (see STEP 4 below). You use the same form for both processes. Graduate courses taken while in undergraduate standing will only count toward a future graduate degree if you reserve the courses for future graduate credit. Complete one form for each graduate course in which you enroll:

1. Complete the Reservation of Course for Graduate Credit form via ENGR Direct. Under "taking a graduate course for graduate credit," look for the hyperlinked word "application."
   1. Use UT EID emails when completing the first page (e.g., eid@eid.utexas.edu). If you need to look up someone's EID, use the UT Directory.
   2. Faculty Graduate Advisor signer is Lacy White, ljt242@eid.utexas.edu
   3. Unit Undergraduate Advisor signer is Brittain Sobey, bls2889@eid.utexas.edu 
   4. After entering signer information, you'll need to enter details about the course. Remember, you must complete one form for each course you are taking.
   5. When you finish your part, the form will route automatically to everyone who needs to sign. Other signers will receive an email when it is their turn. 
   6. When the form is complete, you will receive an email from DocuSign with a link to download your completed and signed form. Download the form and email save it. 
   7. Contact lacy.white@utexas.edu if you have any issues with this form or DocuSign. 
2. Email it to gradstudentsvcs@austin.utexas.edu by the 12th class day in the semester you are taking the course.
3. Contact lacy.white@utexas.edu if you have any issues with this form or DocuSign. 

STEP 3: REGISTER FOR 2 GRADUATE CLASSES

...

When you receive the link from DocuSign to download your completed form, this means you are authorized to add your classes in the registration systemOnce 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.

STEP 4: RESERVE THE COURSES FOR GRADUATE CREDIT

When you are registered for courses and sure that you will not make changes to your schedule, email the completed and signed Reservation of Course for Graduate Credit forms to gradstudentsvcs@austin.utexas.edu by the 12th class day in the semester in which you are taking the course. This is a hard deadline. Failure to submit this form to the Graduate School will result in your courses being counted toward your BS BME degree. 

If you have extra forms for courses you end up not taking, you may discard them.
