Advising, EGR classification

The general classification EGR is given to undergraduate students who have been admitted to the College of Engineering but are not yet affiliated with a degree-granting engineering department.

All EGR students receive academic advising through the Engineering General Resources (EGR) Office. We welcome you at any time to discuss a wide variety of topics, such as:

Advising, BME departmental

The biomedical engineering department assists students who transfer from the EGR classification or from outside UW-Madison. Advising is available by appointment.
