New Add/Drop/Change Policy
The Academic Senate has changed the Add/Drop/Change Policy. Effective Fall 2010, all add/drop/changes are done online through WebReg. Add/Drop cards are no longer used. Deadlines to add/drop/change have also been modified.
DROP: The deadline to drop courses in the School of Social Ecology is the Friday of Week 2 by 5 p.m. Drops can be made via WebReg.
CHANGE: The deadline to change the grade option or variable units via WebReg for majors in the School of Social Ecology is Friday of Week 2 by 5 p.m. Change of grade options or variable units beginning weeks 3-6 must be made requested through the enrollment exception process via Student Access.
ADD: The deadline to add courses in the School of Social Ecology is Friday of Week 3 by 5 p.m. Adds can be made via WebReg.
For classes with "X" and "B" restrictions, contact the instructor directly regarding any add/drop/change the grade option.
Please make sure you have made the appropriate changes to your schedule by the deadlines noted above. Exceptions will only be made in extreme, documentable, extenuating circumstances. Poor time management and/or poor performance in a course are not acceptable reasons to drop a course and will not be approved.
Repeating Classes
If you receive a grade of C-, D+, D, D-, F, or NP in a class, you may repeat that course. Degree credit for repeated courses is given only once, but the grade assigned at each enrollment is permanently recorded.
In calculating your GPA, only the most recent grade is used for the first 16 units repeated. If a student repeats more than 16 units, GPA is based on all additional grades assigned. Confused? Talk to an academic counselor or a peer advisor in the Office of Student Services (102 Social Ecology I) about course repeats.
All classes that were originally taken for a letter grade must be repeated for a letter grade. Courses originally taken Pass/Not Pass may be repeated on a Pass/Not Pass basis or for a letter grade.
The UCI General Catalogue that pertains to the year you entered the university is your contract with UCI. You are responsible for the information contained in your catalogue. The General Catalogue also contains course descriptions and information on campus resources that can be very helpful. We encourage you to review the General Catalogue at http://www.editor.uci.edu.
