Registration Spring 2026

All EEE undergraduate students (not graduating in December): It is time to prepare for Spring 2026 registration. Students will request courses using the Course Request Form (CRF) via the Pre-Registration process. If a student does not submit their CRF prior to the November 20 deadline, they must wait to enroll courses during Open Registration that begins December 8. This newsletter covers specific instructions for required meetings and steps for registration. Students must meet with their assigned EEE Faculty Mentor before they will receive access to their primary advisor's BoilerConnect Registration Advising Appointment calendar. The Faculty Mentor meeting must be completed first!! Please carefully read this entire newsletter.

How to Prepare for Mentor meeting-

Allow plenty of time for maximum flexibility since last-minute requests are rarely successful. Meetings may be virtual or in person.

  • EEE Mentor Form - Thoughtfully complete and submit the online form prior to the Mentor meeting. Make sure to select the form that corresponds to your entrance date to Purdue.  It will guide you to identify EEE Selective and Technical Elective choices, and consider how they support your career interests. Aids to help are EEE Career Pathways and Recently Offered Course Reference.  Review How to Identify Prerequisites and Restrictions of desired courses, and adjust choices to incorpoare prerequisites if needed.

    • Upon submission this online platform generates an email to the mentor, student and EEE advisors with Subject: EEE MENTOR FORM.  Keep this email.

    • At conclusion of meeting, request that your Mentor immediately ‘reply all’ to that original email to document your meeting and to note any recommendations, reminders or questions to you or your advisor.

How to Prepare for Registration Advising Appointment with EEE Advisor

  • Schedule Registration Appointment once you receive the BoilerConnect invite email – After the EEE Mentor meeting all students will receive a BoilerConnect email notification from their advisor with instructions and a link to their calendar to make an appointment. Select a time that works with your schedule. 

  • Review MyPurduePlan – note any discrepancies or questions. Identify desired courses for enrollment. It is your responsibility to make sure you meet all degree requirements prior to graduation. See EEE Plan of Study.

  • Check myPurdue portal for Holds – go to myPurdue>Academic Profile card>Student Profile>click 'Holds' in upper right corner.  Instructions to address Holds.

  • Failure to fully prepare for your meeting may result in your Registration appointment being cancelled or rescheduled.
