Registering for ENEE 699/799/898
To register for ENEE 699 (Independent Study), ENEE799 (Master’s thesis research) and/or ENEE898 (Pre-candidacy doctoral research) you must submit the appropriate paperwork for the particular course at least two weeks before the start of the semester in which you wish to register.
For ENEE 699, you must complete the Approval Form for Independent StudY, ENEE 699. For ENEE 799/898, you must complete the Approval Form for Research Registration, ENEE 799/889/898. In all cases, the signature of the faculty member who is to supervise the studies or research must be obtained. The faculty member’s “section number” must be entered on the form. Section numbers can be obtained from the Graduate Studies Office. Once the completed forms have been submitted to the ECE Graduate Studies Office, permission will be granted so that you may register for these courses on http://www.testudo.umd.edu
Registering for ENEE 400-level courses
To register for ENEE 400-level courses, please send an email (no phone calls and no in-person requests) to the Coordinator in the Undergraduate Studies office with your full name, university ID number, and the course number. Permission is granted based on availability of seats (priority is given to undergraduate seniors in ECE), and you will be notified via email. NOTE: Access to 400-level capstone and lab classes with limited seats may not be approved until the day before the start of the term to insure that graduating undergraduates obtain the courses necessary to complete degree requirements.

From the Graduate Catalog (http://www.gradschool.umd.edu/catalog):
Grading Systems: The conventional A through F grading system is used in graduate level courses. A "Satisfactory or Failure" (S-F) grading system may be used for certain types of graduate study at the discretion of the graduate program. These include courses that require independent fieldwork, special projects, or independent study. Graduate program seminars, workshops, and graduate program courses in instructional methods may also be appropriate for the S-F grading system. The "Pass-Fail" grading system is not available for graduate students. However, a graduate program may allow, in certain cases, a graduate student to use the Pass-Fail option for 100-300 level courses. Graduate credit may not be earned for these courses. Either the A-F or the S-F grading system may be used for master's thesis (799), and pre-candidacy (898) and doctoral dissertation (899) research, as well as for courses labeled "Independent Study" or "Special Problems." Only one grading system may be used per course in a particular semester except for thesis and dissertation credits. The grading system will be designated by the student's graduate program or the graduate program offering the course.
