MP Guidelines -- Registration

You register through ACES for your MP just like a class. There are several components to receiving credit for your MP, ENV 399, which is the project work, and ENV 398, which is the presentation and other preparatory activities.

Credit Requirements

The Project: ENV 399.xx

Work for the masters project is counted towards graduation by registering for ENV 399 for 4 to 6 units with your MP advisor (unless your program directs you to register under your coursework advisor's section number). The number of units and timing of registration for masters project credits should be arranged between the student and the masters project advisor.

The Seminar: ENV 398

The MP seminar is a course that includes various MP-related activites over the 2-year period. You register for the course each semester, and receive 1 credit after your last semester. You get credit for this course based on your participation in various activities, including but not limited to the presentation practices, required public speaking and graphics modules, etc. For information on waiving these required modules, please click here.

Grading

Because the masters project should integrate experiences extending over several semesters, the grade of Z is assigned for 399 registrations at the end of each semester, except for the semester in which the project is completed and the final report is submitted. At that time all registration credit under 399 will be converted to a Pass/Fail grade by the faculty advisor.

Other Independent Studies

Registration for masters projects work should not be under a section of ENVIRON 299 (Independent projects). This course designation should be used for independent work that can be completed within the semester of registration and is not related to the masters project.
