Download the SE Graduate Handbook here and read the M.E. section.
Please use the Systems Engineering Graduate Student handbook as a resource for important and detailed information regarding your degree.
Students are held responsible for the information in the handbook pertinent to their degree program.

We recommend starting with noted core courses on your degree sheet. If needed, the department advisor can help you decide the order of classes to take. You can also view our department course list with planned offering semesters and/or the upcoming semester schedule to help determine the course(s) for which you should register.
If you wish to have any graduate courses evaluated for transfer please contact sys_engr_info@engr.colostate.edu for information about completing a GS3 Transfer Credit Evaluation Form. You must submit to the SE Department a syllabus for any course that will be evaluated.
Distance students register for courses through the CSU Online website. Please note RAMweb only has on-campus courses and you will be redirected to register through CSU Online.
To register for a course, please go to the above web link and select a course, then select the orange “Add to My Courses” link on the course webpages.
Use your CSU ID number when you register for classes. Your CSU ID number was e-mailed to you shortly after your application was submitted, and is the 9-digit number part of your netID.
You will be billed for your courses after the start of the semester.
CSU requires all new students to complete the Sexual Assault Prevention Program, which educates students on issues associated with stalking, relationship violence, and sexual assault.
The deadline to complete this is the first day of classes, and a registration hold will be placed on your account for future semesters if you miss this deadline.
Students can access the program directly through their RamWeb account (click on the hamburger menu in the upper right hand corner of RamWeb and then click the Health Network tab).
The online course will be available 30 days prior to the beginning of the semester.
The program will take approximately one hour to complete.
Students are billed for tuition and fees once per semester. The Office of Financial Aid has more information about bill dates, due dates, and other financial matters.
Students who intend to utilize Military & Veterans benefits should reference steps to get set up at CSU here. Students who will have a third party paying any part of their bill should reference the Sponsor Billing Office steps and information.
Information on required or recommended textbooks is found at the bottom of the course registration page for each course.
You may purchase your books and materials from the CSU Bookstore or any other vendor of your choice.
To foster a SE community, we have multiple channels of communication and ways to get involved with the department:
There are many organizations for graduate students to get connected with while they are students. Many of these organizations have a virtual component.
You may request a RamCard (student ID card) to take advantage of student discounts in your community and to show your Ram Pride.
To get started, email ramcard@colostate.edu to request a “RamCard Distance ID Request Form.”
Your RamCard request is completed within five business days of receiving all required items indicated on the request form and is delivered to your mailing address on record with the university.
Health insurance and immunizations are not required for online students. CSU Online students enrolled in at least six credits are eligible to purchase student health insurance through CSU if needed.
Learn more about eligibility requirements and the process to enroll on the CSU Health Network’s website.
Both the SE Graduate Handbook and the Graduate School’s Graduate and Professional Bulletin should be referenced as students progress through their program.
The Program of Study Form (GS6) lists your completed and intended CSU coursework and your faculty advisor.
The GS6 form must be filed with the Graduate School before the time of the fourth non-summer semester registration. If you have any transfer credits to be evaluated, the GS3 Transfer Credit Evaluation Form must be completed prior to submission of your GS6.
The Application for Graduation (GS25) declares your intent to graduate.
This GS25 needs to be submitted to the Systems Engineering Department generally by the third week of your intended graduation semester.
