Registration
4.1 Advising
Each student is assigned to an advisor in the Department. Advisors in the Department of
Electrical Engineering can assist students with all aspects of their undergraduate degree
including course selection and academic planning. You are strongly encouraged to visit
with your advisor at least once a semester. Currently there are three undergraduate
advisors in the department namely Drs. Asgarpoor, Hoffman, and Varner. Every student
in the department has been assigned an advisor. To find out who your advisor is, please
contact the department secretary.
4.2 Pre-registration
Student priority for entrance into classes for which demand exceeds available class space
will be based on accumulative GPA. This priority will be applied at the end of early
registration (when applicable).
4.3 Drop/Add Consideration
Students who want to add a course or change a section of a course after the published
date for 100% tuition refund must have the instructor of each course they want to add to
their schedule sign the Drop/Add form. At this time in the semester students cannot add a
course to their schedule using the Wam page. The form is also used when students want
to add a course that is closed. In either situation the instructor (s) must sign the form in
the designated column and then the student must have the College of Engineering Dean
or Advising office sign the form (College Approval signature line). Once the student has
obtained all required signatures they must submit the completed form to the Registration
and Records Office (Canfield 107) to add the course(s) to their semester schedule.
4.4 Override Authorization
There are three types of override. Students must fill out the "Override Authorization
Form". This form must be processed at Registration and Records, 107 Canfield
Administration Building.
This form has multiple purposes:
1. Maximum Credit Override: Advisers must complete this form when students want to take more hours than their college allows. Each college has established a maximum number of credit hours they will normally allow a student to take during a given term.

2. Course Credit Hour Override:
Advisers must complete this section when students
request to take a course for more hours than which it is scheduled.
3. Grade Type Override:
Advisers must complete this section when students want to
take a course for the opposite grade type restriction than what is published in the
Schedule of Classes (i.e. student wants to take a course P/N but the department has
designated the course as offered for a grade only).
4.5 Admission to the Department
• Mustafa "Cenk" Gursoy, assistant professor of electrical engineering, received "The 2004-2007 Journal of Wireless Communications and Networking Best Paper Award" from the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP), founded in 1978. The award will be presented during the 17th EUSIPCO Conference: August 24-28, 2009 in Glasgow, Scotland. Gursoy co-wrote the award-winning paper, "On-Off Frequency-Shift Keying for Wideband Fading Channels," published in 2006, with H. Vincent Poor and Sergio Verdœ.
• P. Frazer Williams, UNL's Lott Distinguished Professor Emeritus with the Department of Electrical Engineering, is one of 360 journal reviewers receiving the American Physical Society's Outstanding Referee designation, a lifetime honor, in 2009. The APS has 47,000 physicist members worldwide.
• Dr. Paul Snyder, Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department, recently received a Recognition Award from the UNL Teaching Council and UNL Parents Association. This is the second recognition award Snyder has received.
