Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
May I enroll in any course, any semester, or must
I first take CEE 582, “Introduction
to Coastal Engineering” in the Spring, 2015 semester?
You may enroll for any course, at any time. You do NOT need to wait and take
CEE 582 first. All four courses are designed to be self-contained.
Do I first have to apply and be accepted in the Graduate
School at ODU?
No, you do not need to be admitted to the Graduate School. The Coastal
Engineering Certificate Program (CECP) is a non-degree seeking program. You may wish to apply later and all CECP courses will be transferred (B or better grade) for the MS degree. There is no formal admittance procedure for the CECP program. Just sign-up for the courses.

If I miss class, can I view it later?

to answer homework questions,
study for examinations, and shown to others who may be interested.
Do I need a Proctor?
Yes. All the examinations are closed book. The proctor simply insures that the examinations are take under these conditions. Someone in your office who is willing to sign the Proctor Form is acceptable. Registered Professional Engineers are well qualified to serve as proctor. This policy is slightly different to the general rules for proctors stated by ODU. You do not need a University professor for a proctor.
