Resources to Excel

At Clemson's Department of Bioengineering, we want to assist you on your journey as you pursue your undergraduate degree. Our advising program provides you with the resources you need to make informed academic decisions and stay on track to graduation. Prior to your registration date, you must meet with the Undergraduate Student Services Coordinator to discuss your schedule and to be cleared for registration. You will be contacted about how and when to schedule an appointment to do so. Please review your degree progress report in IROAR, the appropriate curriculum plan, registration times, and the online schedule of classes in order to have a schedule in mind to discuss with your adviser.

If you ever have questions or need assistance, please reach out to your advisors. Faculty Mentor assignments can be found in IROAR in Student Information on the Students Records tab.

  • Registration and Curriculum Worksheet

    Curriculum Planning

    The Curriculum Flowcharts show the prerequisite requirements for BIOE-required courses. BIOE courses can be taken in any semester they are offered as long as the prerequisites and other requirements are satisfied. More detailed prerequisite and corequisite information can be found in the Academic Catalog and DegreeWorks ( iRoar > Student Self-Service > Student Records > DegreeWorks (Undergraduate Only)).

    For a full view of each flowchart, please review the Biomaterials Concentration or Bioelectrical Concentration. Biomedical Engineering curriculum worksheets are available.

    Course Registration

    Registration occurs during the second half of each semester. Refer to the University's Academic Calendar for more details.

    1. For your time ticket, please visit your iRoar Student Profile (iRoar > Student Self-Service > Student Records > iRoar Student Profile).
    2. In the top right corner of the page, click "Registration Notices" to see your time ticket.
    3. Refer to the Registrar's time ticket schedule for a list of registration windows organized by registration priority group.

    Internship and Research Credit

    To ensure you receive credit for an internship, please speak with your advisor.

    Industrial or clinical internships: Students are required to submit a brief summary of the internship location, direct supervisor, and expected activities to the instructor of record prior to commencing the internship. Forty-five hours of laboratory work are required per credit hour. Students must be enrolled in BioE 4910 while performing their internship and submit the required documentation for grading and evaluation, as indicated in the course syllabus.

    Research in other departments at Clemson: Students are required to submit a brief summary of their proposed research project to the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Affairs prior to the start of the academic period. This summary should demonstrate that the proposed work is relevant to the field of bioengineering. Once approved, a course substitution form (for BioE 4910/H4910 - Mentored Research in Bioengineering) should be prepared and submitted.

  • Advising Forms
    • Academic Forgiveness - requests are submitted via iRoar (iRoar > Student Self-Service > Student Records > Request Academic Forgiveness).
    • Approval of Credits to be Earned at Another School - the course will only count towards your degree requirements if approved as transferable to Clemson.
    • FERPA Release - students may choose to complete and submit a FERPA Release form to allow access or release of their educational record to a third party (e.g., parent or guardian).
    • Program Fee Waiver - students who are no longer pursuing engineering or computing degrees and cannot declare their intended major may apply for a Program Fee Waiver.

  • Change of Major

    To transfer from General Engineering into the Biomedical Engineering degree program, students must have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 in courses taken at Clemson and must have earned a grade of C or better in each course in the General Engineering Core Curriculum.

    If you are currently in a non-engineering major, you must first change your major to General Engineering.

    To learn more, visit the General Engineering advising website.
