Junior Year (Defined as 60-89 credits)

Junior year is a good time for students to start looking ahead to graduation.  Students can select a topic area of interest in which to take Technical Electives or gain research experience.  A student’s experience in these courses and/or research opportunities can then translate into a solid resume that highlights his/her technical skills.

At 90 credits, your student should go through the Senior Audit process with their academic advisor.  The Senior Audit process allows students to review what coursework they have completed toward their degree and what further coursework is required.

ACADEMIC ADVISING
This section, for each standard academic year for a student, will include information relating to their academic achievement including resources, programs and systems with which they should become more familiar. Information about majors, grades and academic advisement is included.

POLICIES/PROCEDURES
Within the policies and procedures section is more information about requirements students must meet and procedures which will enhance their academic achievement.

REGISTRATION
Students in the Clark School of Engineering must meet with an academic advisor (either from UA&AS or their departmental advisor) before they may register for courses. This section includes information related to course registration including relevant policies and descriptions of blocks that could prevent your student’s ability to register.

STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
The Clark School of Engineering and the University of Maryland offer many, many opportunities for student to get involved with and in the campus community. Students can be involved with multiple types of groups at different times but do not have to become involved if they do not wish to be. We recommend that first-year students be careful with the amount of additional activities they take on as they learn more about being a college student. Other than that precaution, the options are limitless!
