EE Permission Number Request

The ECE Department can only provide permission numbers for EE classes. Please note that we cannot override class waitlists.  We recommend that students remain on the waitlist until access to the course is granted.

For non-EE classes, please contact the relevant department or the course instructor for permission.

Do you want to take a 2xxx, 3xxx or 4xxx level EE course?

Any CSE or non-CSE student can use the EE Permission Number Request Form below to request permission to enroll.  Note that the ECE Department typically reserves 3xxx level courses for students who have been admitted to the EE or CompE major.  If you have a special circumstance and would like to enroll in a 3xxx level course, please be sure to explain when you fill out the form.

Do you want to take a 5xxx level EE course?

If you are an EE or CompE student whose technical GPA is 3.2 or higher, please fill out the EE Permission Number Request Form below.  Note that permission numbers are issued in the order in which they are received.

If your technical GPA is below 3.2, contact the course instructor by email to request permission to enroll.  In your email, please state your current technical GPA and explain your plan for success in the course.  If the instructor consents, then forward the instructor's email to Kimberly Scott at scot0052@umn.edu.
