Administrative Procedures Petition Form

Use the following explanation:

I am petitioning a waiver of the "Last 30 Cr must be institutional", inasmuch as I

am in the "Distance Engineering Degree Program" where UND's course offerings

are often combined with transfers from other institutions when a given UND

course is not often repeated.

ENGR 102: Professional Assessment and Evaluation Course: A course that consider waivable courses

[ Manual ] [This doc is only for information, not an actual instruction document]

This is a one credit course with a grade of Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U) which consider a POTENTIAL waiver (W) for certain courses on your B.S.E.E curriculum. You will need to document your experience/ projects through a portfolio related to the courses you seek waiver, if you do possess those skills. If you do not have any background in the following waivable courses, then you are highly encouraged to take those particular course to fulfill the degree requirement. This course usually taken during your Junior or Senior Year. Your ENGR 102 committee/advisor will determine the grade for these waivable courses.

List of DEDP waivable courses:

1. EE 101: Introduction to Engineering

2. Engr 101:Graphical Communications

3. EE 201:Introduction to Digital Electronics

4. EE 202:Lab for EE 201, 1 Credit
