Seminar Requirements

All first-year ChE graduate students are required to attend the departmental seminar and register for CHE 080D in the fall and spring semesters. In the case of a course conflict, students may defer the seminar requirement to the next year. Inform the Graduate Advisor if you are unable to register for CHE 080D for fall and/or spring semesters.  

Students can miss NO MORE than TWO seminars per semester. 

• A grade of "NC" (No Credit) will show on the student record if they miss 2 or more seminars 
• If a student receives a grade of NC (No Credit) they are required to register for the seminar course the following semester
• Every student MUST SIGN IN at each seminar meeting! 

Schedule of speakers for the departmental seminar series 

• Students should check the schedule regularly because names and dates are added frequently.
• Attendance of graduate seminars is a critical part of graduate education and development in our program. The Department Chair and Graduate Adviser expect students to attend in person.
• For questions on the Canvas site, or to be added to the Canvas site, contact the Graduate Program Administrator.
