Courses offered through the Clark School of Engineering are restricted to students within the major. However, non-majors are welcome to request a seat in certain courses. Please be advised that permission to register for engineering courses will be based on seat availability.
Seats are not guaranteed by simply completing the forms located at Course Permissions for Non-Majors and permission will be given on a case-by-case basis.
For BIOE120, please contact the Bioengineering Department.
For ENEE205, please contact the undergraduate advising office for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
For ENES472 and ENES317, seats are held for students enrolled in the Global Engineering Leadership minor. Non-minor students should add themselves to the course holdfile and will be allocated a seat if available on the first day of the semester. If you are interested in learning more about the minor, please find information here.
If the ENES or ENED course you are seeking permission for is not referenced here, please first view the Schedule of Classes for information on how to register for that course or contact the instructor of the course. Questions about Keystone Program courses can be sent to keystone@umd.edu

Clark School of Engineering students requesting permission to enroll for ENES courses which are a degree requirement may obtain this permission from their academic advising unit.
If you are an engineering student requesting permission for an ENES course to count towards your electives, please send your name, University ID, engineering major, which course you are requesting, and for what semester/session, to keystone@umd.edu (ONLY IF YOU ARE A CURRENT ENGINEERING STUDENT).
Non-Clark School UMD students and Non-UMD students requesting permission to register for any ENES course (with the exception of ENES100A) must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the University of Maryland and a grade of C- or better for ALL co- and prerequisite classes or have AP credit.
For ENES100A (when offered), students must meet the co-requisite of MATH140 or math placement score at this level in order to be given permission to register and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of a 2.0. If you do not meet these requirements, please do not submit your request. See the Schedule of Classes for the co- and pre-requisite listings.
Keystone Program's Permission to Enroll forms for NON-CLARK SCHOOL and NON-UMD students
Completing our form does not guarantee you permission nor a seat in the course. Please understand that permissions may not be given until the prior semester's grades post. Students must submit a form for each Keystone course for which they are seeking permission to enroll.

If you are a student from another institution, when completing the Keystone Program's permission to enroll forms (linked above) and to verify that you have met the pre-requisites, please submit an electronic copy of your unofficial transcript to the the form, and any updated transcripts directly to Keystone Program at keystone@umd.edu
Students must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average at their home institution or permission will not be given to enroll in any ENES course. It is also your responsibility to ensure that the credits will transfer back to your home institution.
Information and instructions for students in the DC Consortium can be found through the Office of the University Registrar. Consortium students are still required to submit the Keystone Program's respective permission to enroll form for that semester/session which is being requested by the visiting student.
For summer or winter courses, non-UMD students must adhere to all policies and procedures as detailed by Extended Studies. This includes their application deadlines. Please visit their websites at summer.umd.edu and winter.umd.edu
If you are a student requesting an engineering science course to be evaluated, please submit your request via the form: Course Evaluation Request for ENES Transfer Credit.
For ENES100, ENES102, ENES220, ENES221, or ENES232 evaluations, students should review the information required for a Keystone Program course transfer review request at Keystone Course Information Required before submitting your request at the form linked above.
Requests are reviewed in the order received and students will be contacted as soon as possible regarding the status of your request. Please monitor your email as we may require additional information. Course evaluation requests may take several weeks for review and completion.
