 Requirements: Course and “other” requirements described here are in the Undergraduate Bulletin. They are also shared in ECE-100

responsible for knowing/meeting all program requirements. Program related questions should be directed to Faculty Advisor or Program

 Special Note: All transfer students must meet with their faculty advisor or the program director by the end of their first semester in the
ECE program. Bring all transcripts from other schools and transcript evaluation done at UW-Stout. Transfer students must meet the minimum
grade requirements as set forth by the ECE program for every course. If you took a class at another college and received a grade lower than
the program requirements, the course must be repeated.
 Course Substitutions: Protect yourself. Please do NOT make assumptions about one course substituting for another. There is an official
process for processing course substitutions. See your faculty advisor. Complete all paperwork for substitutions promptly; otherwise the
degree progress report will be inaccurate.
 Benchmark Requirements: Benchmark I, II and III must be met prior to Graduation. Information on these Benchmarks can be found on
the School of Education Website (www.uwstout.edu/soe).
