Engineering Undeclared Newsletter

Hello everyone! As we near the halfway point of the spring semester, we know that many of you are right in the middle of exam season. If any of your first exams didn't go quite as well as you would have liked, now is the time to reflect and take action! CARE is available, the College of LAS has Workshops to discuss how to improve on exams, and advisors can talk through other options. We want to see you succeed, so let us know how we can help! 

Spring 2023 IDT Application

The Engineering Undeclared IDT application will open on Wednesday, March 1, but you have until April 30 to submit. After you submit, you cannot go back and edit your application, so don’t feel rushed! Take your time to work on your materials and submit when you are ready. We will not review applications until after grades post in spring 2023 and the day that you submit your IDT application will not factor into our review.

In short: Submit your application when you feel like it’s the best it can be and by the April 30 deadline. You can find more information regarding the IDT process and application here.

We also know many of you have questions about the IDT process, so please consider attending one of our upcoming IDT workshops to learn more and talk through your application with fellow EU students. Information covered in each session will be the same, so pick one that works best with your schedule:
  • Thursday, March 23    11am-12pm, Grainger Library 433
  • Monday, April 10          5pm-6pm, Grainger Library 433
  • Wednesday, April 19    4pm-5pm, Grainger Library 429

Upcoming Academic Deadlines

Reminder: You have a hold on your account and cannot make changes to your schedule without first meeting an EU advisor. Schedule an appointment or visit Express Advising to discuss any changes to your spring schedule.

- Deadline to drop a full-semester course without a W
**Dropping a full-semester course after March 10 is generally not possible unless there are extenuating circumstances**

Intro to Career Exploration Workshop (March 7)

Engineering Undeclared and Engineering Career Services (ECS) are pairing up with an interactive presentation on the many ways you can start exploring career interests. RSVP now 



This will count as one of the EU-sponsored events for EU Exploration Passport. Attend to learn more, get a stamp, and be eligible for a summer swag pack and raffle prizes at the end of spring 2023.

Fall Course Planning Preparation

Mark your calendars! Fall course planning will start on Monday, March 20, the week after spring break. Take some time during spring break to prepare for your mandatory advising appointment by:

  • Thinking about your top 3 majors of interest and why you're interested in them

  • Looking over the curriculum maps for your top 3 majors of interest

  • Running a degree audit for your top choice major to check progress and requirements

  • Considering any academic, personal, or professional development plans for the summer

We’ll have more details about scheduling your mandatory advising appointment in the next EU newsletter. For now, keep in mind these dates:
