Incoming freshman students are admitted to Engineering using present admission procedures and standards with an EGR classification and an identifying department major (see UW Undergraduate Catalog. A pre-engineering student may not have a year classification higher than 2 (e.g., you may not be an EGR 3). Transfer students must meet the same requirements as pre-engineering students.

To be considered for admission to the ECE classification, a student must have: 1) a minimum of 24 degree credits, 2) satisfied the College English requirement, 3) a minimum of 17 credits of calculus, statistics, chemistry, computer science, statics and physics courses required for an engineering degree (these credits must include Math 222), 4) a grade point average of at least 2.50 for all calculus, statistics, chemistry, computer science, statics and physics courses, and 5) a grade point average at least 2.00 for all courses not included in requirement 4 above.

When the number of applicants for transfer to the ECE program that meet the above requirements exceeds the capacity of the program, admissions will be limited to that capacity. It is the student's responsibility to submit to the Dean's office a timely application for transfer to the ECE degree-granting classification. Application periods are as follows:

for a spring semester: September 15 to November 1;
for a summer session or fall semester: January 15 to March 1;

Students not admitted to the degree program for which they have applied may file an appeal with the Dean. The department may specify courses as not open to pre-engineering or non-ECE students.
