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

Good Luck to you all and please
remember that we are here to help!
