ADDS/DROPS FOR PHYSICS COURSES 2 THROUGH 99:

DROP LECTURE, DISCUSSION & LAB: The deadline to drop any Physics course is Friday, October 17, 2014 (end of Week 2). Drops must be made using WebReg. Students wishing to drop a course after that date must submit an Enrollment Exception via StudentAccess and obtain the required approval of the Dean of student's major. Note that approval is NOT guaranteed and is usually only granted in extreme emergencies. See http://www.physics.uci.edu/physics-enrollment-policies for drop policy.

ADD LAB: The deadline to add a Physics Lab is Friday, October 17, 2014 (end of Week 2). Adds must be made using WebReg. This deadline is applicable to all students including ACCESS/Extension students.

ADD LECTURE AND DISCUSSION: The deadline to add a Physics Lecture and Discussion is Friday, October 24, 2014 (end of Week 3). Adds must be made using WebReg. NO ADDS WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER THIS DATE.

STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO FILE A DROP WILL RECEIVE A GRADE OF "NR" IN THE COURSE. AN "NR" TURNS TO A "F" OR "NP" AFTER ONE QUARTER OF ATTENDANCE.

PREREQUISITE CHECKING ON PHYSICS 2:

Students who wish to enroll in Physics 2 must take and pass the Math Assessment for Physics Placement (MAPP) Test. Please refer to http://www.testingcenter.uci.edu/physics.html for information regarding the Math Assessment for Physics Placement (MAPP) Test.

NEW POLICY!!!

Students will NOT have access to Physics 2 courses they wish to repeat when their enrollment window opens. If a student's prior grade was an F, enrollment will be allowed on September 29, as space permits. If a student's prior grade was between C- and D-, enrollment will be allowed on the first day of class, as space permits, via WebReg. An alternative is to retake the class in Summer Session.

PREREQUISITE CHECKING ON PHYSICS 7C:

Students who wish to enroll in Physics 7C must either pass Physics 2 with a minimum grade of C or take the Math Assessment for Physics Placement (MAPP) Test. Please refer to http://www.testingcenter.uci.edu/physics.html for information regarding the Math Assessment for Physics Placement (MAPP) Test.

USING THE WAITLIST SYSTEM: The waitlist system for all Physics courses will be activated through the enrollment drop deadline - Friday, October 17, 2014 (end of Week 2). Placement on the waitlist does not guarantee enrollment in the class. If you are unable to add through the waitlist system, you must register in an open section using WebReg by the enrollment deadline. Students still on the waitlist after October 17, 2014 (end of Week2) will not be added. Visit https://www.reg.uci.edu/registrar/waitlist.html for more information regarding the waitlist system.
