The ECE Department’s maximum course load for graduate students is 13 credit hours in a semester and 6 credit hours in a summer session for full-time students not holding assistantships.

If you need to enroll in more than 13 credits, you must discuss with the Director of Gradate Programs first before submitting a Credit Hour Overload Request Form through MyPack Portal. All course overloads must have approval from the Director of Graduate Programs.

Enrollment Restrictions:

Instructor Permission Required: Some courses require additional permissions to enroll, so you should contact the instructor and then send the approval email to the ecegradoffice@ncsu.edu. Once an instructor has approved your enrollment, we will enroll you in the course.

Department Permission Required: ECE and non-ECE students may request enrollment in ECE courses via the following process:

All requests are reviewed and approved by the Director of Graduate Programs (DGP). Submitting the form does not guarantee enrollment.

Review the Academic Calendar for all deadlines, including adding a class without and with the instructor’s permission.
