    If you are an upper division student (90+ units completed), you will opt for a 199 course.

    Please review this form below, EME/EAE 99 or 199 – Research Credit

    You must submit the completed form to the MAE Advising Team via email: maeughelp@ucdavis.edu prior to the 10th week of instruction (these should be submitted before the 12th day of instruction if possible to avoid a PTA fee).

Petitions Reviewed by our MAE Undergraduate Curriculum & Study Committee

This committee meets once a quarter and therefore it is important to submit these petitions before Week 1 to ensure your petition is reviewed during that quarter's meeting. Petitions are only reviewed during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters - not over the summer. Once the committee has made their decision, the MAE Advising team will contact you via your UC Davis email.
