You should request three recommendations from individuals who are familiar with your academic achievement and potential. If you have been out of school for a number of years and are unable to contact former professors, you may submit non-academic references (e.g., employers). The individual completing the Recommendation Forms should return their recommendations to the graduate advisor in your major field of study. An addressed envelope will be helpful to the individual making the recommendation. See the Fields of Study Chart for addressing instructions.

• Submit official transcripts required from each senior-level post-secondary institution attended. An official statement of the award of the degree or diploma is required for each degree completed.
  
• If the transcripts or mark-sheets are from a university outside the United States, they are to be signed by the registrar, controller of examinations, or president of the university issuing the document. Official records are to be in the language of instruction, accompanied by official translations in English, if necessary. Translations sent directly from the institution attended or from a recognized translator are considered official.

The ECE Graduate Applicant's Information Form

The ECE Graduate Applicant's Information Form is ECE's required supplemental application document, and is submitted directly to ECE. Again, it is important that you select your primary area of interest based on the Department's nine Academic Tracks. You also have the option of choosing a second Academic Track, in case your first Academic Track decides to forward your file, rather than make a decision.

Fill out the Form Now

Note: All application decisions are final. Receiving a review from your second Academic Track is not automatic. Your first Academic Track reserves the option either to accept your application, reject your application, or forward your application to your second Academic Track. Once you are admitted to an Academic Track, it is unlikely you will be able to switch tracks after you are enrolled in the Graduate Program. This is why it is important that you choose the appropriate Academic Track on both the Graduate Applicant's Information Form and the Application for Admission to Graduate Study, based on what you are primarily interested in studying.
