Requirement Waiver and Exception Forms
Undergraduate Substitution-Exception-Waiver (SEW) Form
The procedure for obtaining an exception to any ChemBE requirement is as follows:
First, the student must meet with their faculty advisor to discuss the circumstances leading to the exception request. If your advisor agrees that an exception may be warranted, the student and advisor will fill out a WSE Undergraduate Substitution-Exception-Waiver (SEW) Form and email it to the Director of Undergraduate Studies with their faculty advisor and the Academic Program Coordinator CC’d. The Director of Undergraduate Studies will then evaluate the request and reply to the student’s email to either approve the request or explain why the request cannot be approved. If approved, the Academic Program Coordinator will update the student’s file in the Degree Audit System to reflect this exception and respond via email to verify this change has been processed.
Research
What type of research you are conducting, and under which faculty member, will determine what research course you should register for:
- EN.540.511 – ChemBE Undergraduate Research: UG Research conducted within ChemBE. Students sign up for the section instructed by the PI they are doing research under.
- EN.540.501 – Interdepartmental Undergraduate Research: Research conducted by ChemBE students outside of the School of Engineering. Students sign up for the section instructed by their Faculty Advisor.

Students doing research outside of the Engineering School (at the School of Medicine, Krieger School, etc.) may be allowed to use their research credits as engineering elective credits.
Complete the Research Credits Outside of WSE form in your junior year to apply for these credits.
