Searchable Schedule of Classes • The Searchable Schedule of Classes (WebSOC) should be used to find updated information on class times, locations, enrollment numbers, etc. For more information see www.reg.uci.edu. • Enroll using 5 digit course code located on the far right of the course listing • You must enroll for a lab or discussion if it is listed under a specific section of the lecture • ICS and CS majors enroll in ICS and CS courses such as ICS 21- do not enroll in CSE courses • IN4MTX majors enroll in IN4MTX and CS courses- do not enroll in CSE courses What else do I need to know about enrollment? • If you are receiving any financial aid, you must be enrolled in at least 6 units before it will be given. • The first day of instruction is always the first day of lecture, except for Humanities Core and anything Prof. Pattis teaches • You may not repeat a course for which you have received credit via AP exam, articulation review, or have received a Pass or grade of C or better. Common WebReg Error Messages • I sign up for my course and after I log out of WebReg, my course(s) gets dropped. Why? – You may not have signed up for accompanying lab and/or disc • I am not able to add a course – You have reached the 18 unit maximum limit (waitlisted units are also applied to this) – Course conflicts are not allowed • I get the error message- prerequisite not met. – You have not met the prerequisite of the course (check your catalogue or student handbook for course prerequisites) – You have completed the prerequisite by AP exam, non-UCI course, petition, or exception to policy. • WebReg cannot recognize any of these course credits • You must get an academic counselor of the department that offers the course to clear you • For Bren School courses, you must either stop by the Student Affairs office or call 949-824-5156 to get yourself placed on the prerequisite clearing list DO NOT WAIT THE DAY BEFORE YOUR WINDOW OPENS TO DO THIS! Prerequisite Clearing and You • The Registrar’s system will not automatically recognize when prerequisites have been completed outside of the University. This means that you will need to receive clearance for many courses before being able to enroll. • Our office has developed on on-line prerequisite clearing form that can be accessed 24/7. • Before your enrollment window opens, look up the prereqs for the courses you wish to enroll in. If you finished any of the prereqs outside of UCI, turn in a request for the courses. https://ugradforms.ics.uci.edu. • DO NOT put in requests for courses you do not need clearance for. It creates extra work for us and slows us down. Before Classes Begin… • Welcome Week – September 23 – 27 – Monday, September 23 • New Student Convocation • Dean’s Welcome • Anteater Club Fair • All Welcome Week events are free of charge Don’t forget… classes begin on Thursday, September 26! Good Luck to you all and please remember that we are here to help! Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences
