The office of the regent is located at the bren school of information and is not listed in the transcript.
All information applies to both undergraduate and graduate students.The Graduate Division section has additional information about academic regulations for graduate students.
All students are required to declare a major by the time they reach junior status, otherwise they will be disqualified from further registration in the University.
The minimum amount of credit needed for a bachelor's degree is 180 quarter units with an average of at least C.
Freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior students are classified based on the number of units completed.
An undergrad can enroll in as few as 12 units or as many as 20 units.To enroll for more than 20 units or less than 12 units, students must get the approval of their dean or the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education.Information about the Reduced-Fee Part-Time Study Program can be found in the Expenses, Tuition, and Fees section.
To remain in good academic standing a student must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.0 and make progress toward the degree at a satisfactory rate.
If the cumulative grade point average for the quarter is less than 2.0.
If a student's grade point average falls below a 1.5 for any quarter, or if they have not achieved a cumulative gradepoint average of 2.0 or a satisfactory rate of progress, they will be disqualified.
If regular undergraduate students fail to make normal progress toward the baccalaureate degree by the time they reach junior status, they will be subject to disqualification from further registration in the University.If a student fails to follow a program of study leading to completion of lower-division School requirements, they may be subject to disqualification.
A.In terms of quarter units completed at the end of quarters, normal progress is defined in the following table.
1.Undeclared students who have completed the number of units specified in the given quarter and are following a course of study prescribed by their school are making normal progress.
2.Students who have declared a major must follow the program of study required for their major as well as complete the units specified in the given quarter in order to make "Normal Progress."
3.Students who fail to make "Normal Progress" as defined in (1) or (2) above are subject to being placed on probation by the faculty of their academic unit or its designated agent, or for first-year undecided/undeclared students.
Students who have completed two consecutive quarters without achieving at least the normal rate of progress are subject todisqualification.
Students admitted to the University with advanced standing will be classified with respect to quarter of enroll at entrance in accordance with the following table.
The units that were earned under the two circumstances are not counted toward the determination of the quarter at entrance under (D) above.
Students who have been admitted or readmitted to F. UCI will have the units and grade points of their courses transferred to their record.Under the circumstances cited in sub-section E, units taken through Concurrent Enrollment will not count towards the determination of Advanced Standing Quarter Units at Entrance.
To be admitted to the University with 150 or more advanced standing units, the faculty offering the curriculum in which such students seek to enroll will determine the quarter of enrollment at the entrance of students.The program required for such students to obtain the desired degree will be consistent with this determination.
Students who have been formally accepted by the faculty of a degree-granting program or its designated agent to pursue a defined course of study leading to a baccalaureate degree will be understood to have declared a major for purposes of this regulation.
I.When a student has completed their degree requirements, they are expected to graduate.
The Normal Academic Progress requirement for Financial Aid is not the same as the Normal Progress requirements.Academic standing is related to receipt of financial aid.
disqualification is not a necessary step.If a student becomes subject to disqualification, the complete record of grades and other accomplishments will be carefully reviewed by the responsible faculty authorities of the student's school.If the record shows that the student will not be able to meet the academic standards of the University of California, they will be disqualified from further education.Faculties of undergraduate degree-granting units and the Faculty Board for Undecided/Undeclared Students are obliged by Academic Senate regulations to maintain a procedure under which a student may contest disqualification actions.
In order to transfer from one campus to another in the University of California, a student must get the approval of the appropriate faculty, or its designated agent, into whose jurisdiction the student wants to go.
The maximum number of units that can be taken by students in non-engineering majors is 216.The maximum number for Engineering majors is 236 units after their 12th quarter of study.AP or IB students may exceed the unit maximum by the amount of their credit.
Students who have completed the maximum number of units may not continue their studies.Students who wish to exceed their unit or quarter maximums, including students pursuing multiple majors, may petition the associate deans of the impacted units to continue work required to complete their degree.
The equivalent of 10 quarters for Engineering majors are allowed for full-time transfer students at the junior level.
The maximum number of units or quarters does not include units completed prior to matriculation.Work completed over the summer at any institution counts towards the unit limit but not the quarter count.
Only the grades A+, A-, B,B, and S represent satisfactory scholarship and are accepted into the graduate degree program.Students are expected to maintain their academic progress.Information about satisfactory academic progress and graduate student course load requirements can be found in the Graduate Division section.
In cases where a documented procedural or clerical error has occurred, the academic record will not be altered.
The A+ grade is assigned 4 points per unit and modifies the above by plus or minus 0.2 grade point.
A minimum of 180 quarter units with an average of at least C is required for a bachelor's degree.The term "course" may be understood to mean four units in the following text.The grade point average is the sum of all accumulated grade points and the total number of units attempted.Computing grade point average excludes P, NP, S, U, NR, and I grades, as well as workload credit.
The grade point average is used to calculate Baccalaureate credit.Workload credit can be used to get rid of full-time status for financial aid, housing, student loans, and other purposes.The workload and baccalaureate credit are the same for most courses.There are different courses in the course description.
Final grades reported by instructors are usually permanent and final.An instructor can only change a final grade if there is a clerical or procedural error.Errors should be fixed in one regular academic quarter after the grade is assigned.It is not possible to revise a grade by reexamination or completing additional work.If a student is dissatisfied with their grade, they should review their work with the instructor and get an explanation of the grade assigned.A grade can be appealed to the instructor, chair of the department, and the dean.The Office of the University Ombudsman can be reached if the matter isn't resolved.
If the Academic Grievance Panel has determined that the grade was assigned on the basis of discrimination, a grade may be changed.
When a student's work is passing quality but incomplete for good cause, the grade is incomplete.If the student completes the course work in a way that is authorized by the instructor and within the time limits, the I grade may be replaced by a permanent grade.The I grade will not be used in the computation of a student's grade point average during the time allowed for replacing it.
Students assigned an I grade must complete the course work within the period set by the instructor, or within 12 months following the quarter in which the grade was originally awarded, whichever comes first.The instructor doesn't have to allow the maximum time period.The student needs to talk to the instructor to figure out how the incomplete can be made up.The student and instructor should prepare a written agreement specifying how the incomplete can be made up and a deadline for doing so.The student should ask the instructor to submit an Academic Record Change Request if the work is not completed within the allotted time.To make up the incomplete, the student should not re-enroll in the course.If the incomplete course work is not completed in the manner authorized by the instructor and within the time limits stated above, the I grade will be replaced with the permanent grade of F (Fail), NP (Not Pass), or U (Unsatisfactory), as appropriate in accordance to the
After the quarter in which the grade was originally assigned to complete the course work, students who have been assigned an I grade prior to fall 2010 have a maximum of 12 months.In exceptional individual cases involving the student's inability to pursue a course of study, an extension of up to two additional years may be granted by the instructor with the approval of the dean.If the required course work is not completed in the manner authorized by the instructor and within the time limits stated above, the I grade assigned prior to fall 2010 will remain permanently on the student's record.
The Pass/Not Pass option can be used to encourage students to enroll in courses outside of their field.The grade point average which appears on a student's permanent record is not included in the computation of courses graded Pass/Not Pass.If a student receives a pass in a class, the course and unit credit for the class is not received.The student doesn't get credit for the class if a Not Pass is received.
The courses are called Pass/Not Pass Only.Students can't take these courses for a letter grade.
Pass/Not Pass is not a student option.The grades S or U may be used to evaluate graduate work undertaken by a graduate student with the consent of the academic units involved.Some graduate courses are graded S/U Only with the approval of the Graduate Council.The last quarter of a graduate course is when the grade S or U may be assigned.After the last quarter, letter grades are A to F.The instructor may assign a final letter grade or the grade of I to replace the S or U if the student does not complete all quarters of the course sequence.The grade S is equivalent to a grade of B or better.Credit will not be given for work graded Unsatisfactory.
There is no option for S/U when adding a course via WebReg.Once the course starts, students should inform the instructor of their preference for the S/U option, not a letter grade.The Pass/Not Pass option does not correlate to the S/U option.
The final grade for the individual quarters will not be assigned until the last quarter of the sequence is completed, which is what the transcript notation is called.All the previous quarters of the sequence are assigned a grade for the final quarter.No credit is given until the student completes the entire sequence.Only courses designated by the Academic Senate Subcommittee on Courses or the Graduate Council can be given anip notations.The number of quarter units completed and the grade point average are not included in the computations of the student's grade.
When the student's name is on the official class roster but the instructor does not submit a final grade, a No Report is assigned.A student who receives an NR must contact the instructor to arrange for the removal or replacement of the NR.After one quarter of subsequent enrollee or at the end of the quarter immediately preceding the degree award, an NR becomes an "F" (Fail), "NP" or "U", whichever is appropriate.The grade point average and the number of quarter units completed do not include the NR transcript notations.
A student.Repetition of courses by undergraduate students not authorized by the Subcommittee on Courses to be taken more than once for credit is subject to the following provisions.When grades of C-, D+,D, F, or NP are received, undergraduates can repeat courses.A C- earned before the fall quarter of 1984 is not repeatable.Unit credit for courses that are repeated will only be given once, but the grade assigned at each enrollee will be permanently recorded.Only the most recently received grades and grade points will be used to calculate the grade point average for the first 16 units repeated.The grade point average will be based on all additional grades.Repetition of a course more than once requires approval in all instances of the school the student is in.
The courses must be repeated for a letter grade.If the course is offered, the courses may be repeated for a Pass/Not Pass or a letter grade.
The School of Humanities has information about the repetition of language other than English.
A graduate.A graduate student can only repeat a course once in which a grade of B or U is received.Only the most recently earned grade will be used to calculate the student's grade point average for the first eight units of repeated work.
There is a restriction on duplicate credit.Other than the exceptions related to the repeat of deficient grades, undergraduate and graduate students may not receive unit credit or earn grade points for college courses in which the content of a previously completed course or examination is duplicated.
If a student repeats a course for which a passing grade has already been received and the course is not approved as repeatable for credit, the student will receive aUR and no credit will be given.
You can get a complimentary copy of the student's permanent record after each quarter.On the copy, the student will find grades for all the quarters taken at UCI, a computation of grade point average at the University of California, and a list of University requirements completed.
Students may only take UCI courses if they are satisfied with the lower and upper-division writing requirements.UCI students are not allowed to take summer courses at other institutions to satisfy writing requirements.To fulfill the lower-division writing requirement, two courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
The upper-division writing requirement requires that the course be completed with a grade of C or better.Further information can be found in the UCI Requirements section.Majors in the School of Biological Sciences, Physics, and Pharmaceutical Sciences who fail to attain a grade of C or better in each of the courses taken to satisfy upper-division writing should see their academic counselor.
Students who don't complete the lower-division writing requirement before the beginning of their seventh quarter at UCI will be given a slap on the wrist.If students don't complete the lower-division writing requirement within their first three quarters of class, they will be subject to punishment.Academic English/English as a Second Language students must complete the lower-division writing requirement before the beginning of the seventh quarter if they want to stay in school.
A student who takes a special exam administered by a faculty member who normally teaches that course can get credit for previously mastered material.The advising office of the school offers detailed procedures for obtaining credit by examination.Before the examination can be administered, approval of any petition for credit by examination must be obtained from the dean or designee of that School.After the dean has signed the petition, the student needs to pay a $5 Credit by Examination service charge at the Cashier's Office.
The instructor has the power to decide whether the course can be taken by examination, to determine the form such an examination may take, and to make sure the grade is reported as Pass/Not Pass or as a letter grade.).
A student can only take the exam for one course at a time.The student can accept or reject the grade after receiving it.The student can choose not to receive credit or a grade if they don't like the grade they received on the exam.Grades and grade points will be entered on the record in the same manner as for regular courses of instruction if the student chooses to accept the results of the examination.
The credit by examination option is not usually used by graduate students.The credit by examination option is not valid for graduate level courses.
All undergraduate courses except laboratory and studio courses are required to have final exams.Each examination must be completed by all participants by the time the University Registrar schedules it for the quarter in question.The exams may not last more than three hours.Special arrangements can be made for disabled students.
Laboratory and studio courses don't usually require exams.A final examination may be required at the department's option, subject to prior announcement in the schedule of classes for the term.
The final grades from professors are due within 72 hours.
The class option is for upper-division students.The independent-study option allows the student to plan with the instructor a course having a clear relationship to their academic program.The plan for the course will include a reading list, a group of assignments, examinations, papers, or similar evidence of intellectual achievement on which academic credit will be based.A description of the course must be approved by the instructor and the department chair.
If you plan to enroll in courses at another institution or UCI Division of Continuing Education in either a summer or regular session, you should first consult with and secure prior approval from the academic dean or chair of your major.
The Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools requires UCI undergrad students to submit an official transcript of their course work.If the Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools determines the courses to be transferrable, the units earned may be applied toward the total required for graduation.
The full course record can be included on the academic transcript for all courses taken through the UCI Division of Continuing Education.The full course record has course title, academic department, course number, grade, and grade points earned.This option applies to courses taken by students who are applying for readmission.When admitted or readmitted to regular student status, the full course record can be transferred to their academic record.
For a limited number of acceptable graduate-level courses completed at another institution or through the UCI Division of Continuing Education, graduate students may be granted unit credit toward a master's degree.The student must submit a formal petition after they enroll in graduate study to receive such credit.The Dean of the Graduate Division must be approved by the student.The petition can be downloaded from the website.
In order to receive unit credit for graduate-level courses completed at another institution or through the UCI Division of Continuing Education, the student must have the approval of their graduate advisor and the Dean of the Graduate Division.
Information about graduate transfer credit and the University's Intercampus Exchange Program can be found in the Graduate Division section.
