Registration & Enrollment

Welcome to the ECE Graduate Enrollment Hub. Follow this step-by-step guide to plan your schedule, check your limits, and resolve enrollment restrictions for the upcoming semester.

Students can log into MyPack Portal to see when they will be able to start enrolling for the next term, and to make sure that they have no “Holds,” which prevent enrollment. Graduate students are not required to meet with their advisor prior to their enrollment start date.

Students with past due debts or any “Holds” must be cleared by the University Cashier’s Office to access MyPack Portal. The best way to contact the Cashier’s Office is through their email.

  • If you encounter an enrollment restriction (e.g., class is full, outside the department, or missing prerequisites) for an ECE course, please submit a Fall 2026 ECE Course Enrollment Requests
  • Enrollment processing may take up to the first week of classes. Individual confirmation emails are not sent. It is the student’s responsibility to check their schedule periodically in MyPack Portal to see if they have been added.
