Becoming a B.S. Computer Engineering student can be accomplished in four simple steps.

Step One

Before you can apply for major status, you must be a matriculated University of Utah student. If you haven’t already done so, you can start your application here:

Deadline

You must submit before grades are posted the semester prior to starting the major courses. For example, if you want to start on major classes in the Spring semester, you must submit your application prior to Fall grades being posted.

The Academic Advisor reviews major status applications once at the end of each semester. You will not be able to register for any further ECE or CS classes until your application has been approved.
