To see the CVE courses that provide both undergraduate and graduate course credit, log into CampusNet, go to Class Search, choose a semester, and search for CVE undergraduate courses that have the pink circle with the letter C inside signifying ‘combined.'
For example:
When you click on the pink circled C, you will see the current enrollment for the graduate portion of the course.
You WILL need special permission to enroll in the graduate course as an Accelerated Master's Program student. Ask your academic advisor to submit this special permission to enroll in the combined CVE graduate course.
You can also find the courses with pink circled Cs in the Civil Engineering Degree Charts.
