Undergraduate Academic Advisors
Academic Advisors are available to help you plan your program of study, resolve problems and provide valuable career guidance. Engineering students are required to meet with their Academic Advisors at least once per semester. Here’s how to keep the process simple and easy:
- Check your Gatorlink e-mail account. We’ll send a message to let you know holds have been placed.
- Complete the Academic Planning assignments on your First Year Engineering Canvas page.
- Check Student Self Service to determine your registration date.
- See your advisor BEFORE your registration time. Don’t wait until the last minute.
Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Program
Civil and Coastal Engineering
The Department of Civil & Coastal Engineering presently offers two variations of a Masters degree: the Master of Engineering (M.E.) and the Master of Science (M.S.). Effective Fall of 1999, the Department of Civil Engineering offers a combined B.S./Master program to qualified undergraduate students seeking M.S. or M.E. degrees.
In this program, qualified undergraduate students will be allowed to shorten the time required for their master’s degree by completing nine (9) credits of graduate level courses in their final two semesters of their B.S. program or when they have achieved a 5EG classification. The combined B.S./Master program will provide a fast track for qualified undergraduate students to obtain both their B.S. and Master degrees (e.g., M.S. or M.E. degrees), thereby allowing these students an earlier entrance to their professional careers. The program will provide incentive to encourage good undergraduate Civil Engineering students to pursue graduate education at the University of Florida.
To qualify for this program, students must complete a Combined Bachelors/Master Degree Program application, attain an upper division GPA of 3.30 at the time of graduation with the B.S. degree, and must satisfy the graduate school and departmental graduate admission requirements. The courses (maximum of 9 credits) that would be double-counted in the B.S. and Master programs must be graded graduate level courses offered by the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering (or by another acceptable department). The student must achieve a grade of ‘B’ or better in order for the courses to be transferred into the graduate degree program.
Students should complete 9 hours of graduate course work appropriate to their intended graduate area of study (see the pool of most common acceptable courses identified under the various graduate specialties in the table below). These courses will satisfy 9 of the 15 advanced undergraduate elective credits. All special requirements of the electives as outlined in the undergraduate catalog (capstone design, design and laboratory experience) must also be satisfied.

Environmental Engineering Sciences
The Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences presently offers two variations of a Masters degree: the Master of Engineering (M.E.) and the Master of Science (M.S.). Effective Fall of 1999, the Department of Environmental Engineering offers a combined B.S./Master program to qualified undergraduate students seeking M.S. or M.E. degrees.
In this program, qualified undergraduate students will be allowed to shorten the time required for their master’s degree by completing twelve (12) credits of graduate level courses in their final two semesters of their B.S. program or when they have achieved a 5EG classification. The combined B.S./Master program will provide a fast track for qualified undergraduate students to obtain both their B.S. and Master degrees (e.g., M.S. or M.E. degrees), thereby allowing these students an earlier entrance to their professional careers. The program will provide incentive to encourage good undergraduate Environmental Engineering students to pursue graduate education at the University of Florida.
To qualify for this program, students must complete a Combined Bachelors/Master Degree Program application, attain an upper division GPA of 3.30 at the time of application. Student must still apply for and satisfy the graduate school and departmental graduate admission requirements for their Master program. The courses (maximum of 12 credits) that would be double-counted in the B.S. and Master programs must be graded graduate level courses offered by the Department of Environmental Engineering (or by another acceptable department). The student must achieve a grade of ‘B’ or better in order for the courses to be transferred into the graduate degree program.

ADVANCE REGISTRATION HOLDS
Engineering students must meet with their Academic Advisors before they can register for classes. Registration holds will be lifted by the advisors, provided that all requirements are met. Plan to see your advisor well in advance of the registration time assigned to you. Honors students must have their holds removed prior to honors registration to register for honors classes.
graduate Academic Support
All students are encouraged to review the Student Guidelines/Handbook for the department from which a degree will be obtained. The handbook/guidelines provide information about registration, degree requirements, graduate policies and much more. These are also on the ESSIE website under the resources page.
At the graduate level, students are advised by the faculty in their chosen department or within a specific specialization area if it applies. Graduate students generally take 9 credits per semester during the Fall and Spring and 6 credits in the summer. Graduate level courses are always ###5000 or higher. For work outside the major, courses numbered 3000 or above (not to exceed 6 credits) may be taken if they are part of an approved plan of study. There are some exceptions to this so check with the Graduate Academic Support staff for clarification.
All Graduate students are required to complete a program plan of study form. This form includes supervisory committee information (for Master’s thesis, PhD students or if a minor is selected) and all of the courses that a student will take throughout the degree program. If a student has graduate-level coursework completed outside of the current UF degree program (from an outside institution, as part of the UF 4/1 program, taken as a non-degree student or was taken as an undergraduate but did not count toward bachelor’s degree requirements and the grade(s) was a B or higher, the request to transfer the coursework into the UF degree program is indicated on this form. This transfer of credit request is typically processed during the semester when the program plan is submitted. The student should check his/her unofficial transcript page in ONE.UF to see if the transfer credits are indicated there. If they are not, the student should contact a Graduate Academic Support staff member. Please note that the Graduate School processes the transfer if credit request and follow the guidelines that have been determined appropriate for each institution. At times, all credits may not transfer. This form can be revised at any time as long as the student’s advisor signs off on the changes.
Submission Deadlines
- Master’s non-thesis students – mid-term of the first semester
- Master’s thesis students – mid-term of the second semester
- Ph.D. students – mid-term of the third semester
The appropriate forms are found on the Resources for Students page. Once the form is completed and signed it can be submitted to gradforms@essie.ufl.edu.
