How to register for ENME or ENRE 799 research credits:

  • Email megrad@umd.edu for permission to register. In the email, please include your name, UID, advisor’s name, and semester you need registration permission for.
  • Typically, our office will grant students permission within 48-72 hours and provide a section code that corresponds with the student’s specific advisor; students must use that section code to register for 799 credits in Testudo.
