3xxx or CE 4xxx courses, bring your nearly completed
upper division form to your advising meeting
• Your advisor can place you on the Upper Division
Exception List
• Sanna will issue a permission number to you if your
name is on the Upper Division Exception List
• Permission numbers can only be given after your
registration queue time
Summer 2015 CE Courses
• CE 3016 – Surveying
– There will be two sections in May term; none in
Spring
– The fall section will likely fill, plan to take a
summer section if possible
• CE 2017 with Brian Kohn will not be offered in
Summer 2015
Special Notes for Fall 2015
• Senior Design offered Fall 2015 and Spring
2016 (4 cr)
– If graduating in the next two semesters, take
Senior Design during your last semester
• Sequencing
– Geotech Design will move to Fall only rather than
Fall/Spring beginning in Fall 2015
• New courses being offered
– CE 4233 Environmental Sampling Analysis
– CE 4251 Solid Waste Management
Graduation
• You should get an email that looks like
this:
• Follow the prescribed
steps
• December grads can
walk in the May
commencement
before or after their
official grad date
When Courses Fill
• Do not panic
• E-mailing Sanna/your advisor doesn’t help
• Get on the waitlist (all math, science, and CE are now
electronic waitlist)
• If the course is needed for you to make progress toward
your degree, they will find a way to get you in a section
• You may not hear until right before classes start – attend
class during the time scheduled for your waitlisted section
• Sections are added to match schedules of the students
waitlisted and students are automatically added to a
section that works. Priority goes to those that need the
class most, not to those that waitlist first.
• Watch your email for permission numbers if you are on a
waitlist.
The “Upgrade”
Impact on Waitlists & Permission Numbers
• Before the Upgrade is complete in April 2015, waitlists and class
permission numbers will work the same as they have before
• After the Upgrade is complete (expected ~April 20th) the waitlist will be
for students who are eligible to enroll in the class, but can't because
the class is full.
• Permission numbers will be for granting a student admission to a class
who would otherwise be unable to enroll in it.
• On April 24th the wait list will become an “auto enroll” process. Instead
of receiving a permission number and being invited to enroll in the
class, you'll automatically be enrolled when a space becomes available
for you.
• If you remain on a waitlist during the transition to the new system, you
will be guided through the process.
• For more information on the Upgrade visit: http://upgrade.umn.edu
Internships/Scholarships
• Opportunities sent out to Civil Eng student list.
• Many are also posted on GoldPASS
• Summer internship tips
– Try to do an internship or co-op before you graduate
– Remember that you’re representing UMD CE and
yourself
– The CE community is tightly knit, so be very careful to
not burn bridges (for yourself, future interns, or the
Department)
Cooperative Education Program
[CE4096 Coop I (1 cr.) and CE4596 Coop II (2 cr.)]
• Through the Coop Education Program students can
retain full time status and earn 3 credits for working
full time in a civil engineering related job for 2
consecutive semesters (summer + fall OR spring +
summer).
• To register in either CE4096/CE4596, talk to your
advisor, carefully review the complete program
description (available in the office, from your advisor, or on the
CE website) and then email Dr. Carranza-Torres,
[email protected], to request a Coop Agreement
Form. A complete agreement form much be on file
before a permission number will be issued.
Career Fairs
• SCSE Career Fair in October 2015
• CE Career Fair in late January or early
February 2016

BEFORE YOUR ADVISING MEETING
• If Wendy is your advisor, you will get an e-mail from her with
instructions.
• If a CE faculty is your advisor, SIGN UP for a time at this meeting or
later on your advisor’s door
– Dr. Carranza-Torres will not be advising this semester. If he is your
advisor, you have been reassigned.
– Check your APAS or in 221 to see who/where
– Problems ?  ask Sanna in 221 SCiv (CE building)
• Fill out your planning sheet with courses from all previous
semesters and your plan for at least Spring 2015, more if nearing
graduation
or
• Use Grad Planner (update it prior to meeting) (This is frequently
inaccurate, be careful)
• Check prerequisites for your chosen courses
• Prepare a list of questions
APAS: Key points
Bulletin YR

UMD
Catalog
Degree
Requirements
APAS:
Academic
Progress
Audit Report
APAS is the official tool used by the registrars office to grant/confer degrees.
•
•
APAS is used by students to confirm how courses in progress or completed meet degree
requirements: (such as liberal education program, advanced writing and courses in a
major/minor).
Students can also use APAS to view remaining credit and course requirements.
Bulletin Year:
•
•
•
•
•
Found at the top right of the generated APAS report.
A student’s Bulletin Year is determined by the semester they matriculated at UMD
The Bulletin Year coincides with the Catalog requirements for that year. This is aligned
with courses required for your major within the catalog for that year.
Departments update requirements each year; therefore, it is important for students to be
aware of the requirements for their major.
Talk with you advisor, it may be a benefit to to update to “current requirements”
Students can request an update to current catalog by submitting an APAS
exception form.
•
APAS exception forms are available in SCSE Advising Office (Engr 134)
Cover your APAS
Know what is in APAS
•
•
•
•
Your Student ID and Bulletin YR
Advisor Name
Service Indicators: Holds
GPA

•
University requirements
Liberal Education requirements
Major and Minor requirements
Important: Review each requirement area in APAS:
•
•
•
The circle graph represents the minimum 120 credits required to graduate;
Engineering majors will earn more than 120 credits
The bar graphs represent Lib Ed and Major credits earned.
While graphs are nice, what is most important is reviewing each requirement area
within APAS…
“OPEN ALL” to review and look for progress indicators:
• Red and/or a minus (-) indicate and area has not been satisfied
• Light Green and (IP) represent a requirement area is in progress
• Dark Green and plus (+) represent that area has been satisfied
“What If”…APAS
Student can generate a “what if “ report to:
•
•
View possible majors or minors not yet declared.
A “what if” report is based on the most current requirements, therefore,
students can generate the report to determine if they benefit by updating
their Bulletin/Catalog Year. (Fall 15 requirements will be available after March 10)
Catalog…know and find yours
The online view of the UMD Catalog is always “current”.
