How to Transfer Into the ETE Program
The first step in applying to the ETE major is to attend an information meeting. There are meetings scheduled once a month for both the fall and spring semesters (see below for meeting dates). You do not need to sign up for a meeting; just show up at the scheduled time and place. At the meeting, you will learn about the application process, and application forms will be distributed. Completed forms should be returned to room 120 Willard Hall by the end of each semester. Applications are reviewed before each semester begins, and students are notified as to whether or not they were accepted.
Registration advisement services are available to prospective internal transfers. Advisors can help students decide which classes might be appropriate to take if a student is planning to apply to the major (or has previously applied). Please call (302) 831-2317 to schedule an appointment after you attend an information meeting, or contact Vickie Lucas at vickie@udel.edu for further information.
