Admission Requirements:

All entering students are required to attend Orientation before registering for their first semester at UCF. Orientation includes engineering academic advisement and registration for first-semester UCF classes.

Degree Requirements

Each engineering student is assigned a qualified engineering academic advisor in the department of his/her major. Each student should seek academic advisement before registering for classes each semester to minimize excess hours and to ensure that satisfactory academic progress is being maintained.
