EFFECTIVE FALL QUARTER 2010:

Add/drop/change cards are OUT!
Enrollment transactions via WEBREG are IN!

NEW ADD/DROP.CHANGE DEADLINES:

DROP: The deadline to drop courses in the Department of Chemistry is the end of Week 2 by 5:00PM. Drops can be made in WebReg.

ADD: The deadline to add courses in the Department of Chemistry without permission using WebReg is the end of Week 2 by 5:00PM. Send an email to undergrad@chem.uci.edu for approval to add a chemistry course during week 3.

CHANGES: The deadline to change grade option or variable units is the end of Week 2 by 5:00PM. Changes can be made in WebReg.

NO CHEMISTRY LABORATORY CHANGES AFTER WEEK 1. Please NOTE: This deadline is earlier than the School of Physical Sciences week 2 deadline.

An online petition via StudentAccess will be utilized for adds, drops, and changes after enrollment deadlines have passed

There are a myriad of reasons for this problem:

1. Enrolling out of course code order.
2. Entering the wrong course code.
3. Not enrolling in the co-requisite first.
4. Not eligible for the course, among others.

If after checking what you entered and you still experience trouble, email the Chemistry Undergraduate Office at undergrad@chem.uci.edu.

The WebREG waitlist option is activated for most
Chemistry courses. Check WebSOC

CHECK WEBSOC PERIODICALLY FOR COURSE AVAILABILITY.

You are unable to access the class you wish to repeat when your WebReg window initially opens.

You are not allowed to repeat the same class more than once in the academic year.

Receive a grade of D/F/NR/NP? Access the course on the 1st day of the quarter.

Receive a grade of C-? Enroll on the 3rd day of the quarter

If you met the prerequisite at another school, it is your responsibility to Email, Fax, or bring an unofficial transcript to NS2 1101 in order to clear your pre-requisite.

On your transcript, ALWAYS include your NAME, STUDENT ID #, CLASS, QUARTER, and CONTACT # (if problems arise).

Email: undergrad@chem.uci.edu / Fax: 949.824.8571.

Receive a grade lower than the required grade to advance to the next course? Refer to repeating a class information above.

If you have a score of 4 or 5 -You cannot enroll in Chem. 1A during the regular academic year.

You can enroll in Summer Session Chem. 1A at UCI in order to fulfill professional school admission requirements. No credit will be given for grades or units earned. Choose the audit option when you register.

You can enroll in Chem. H2A (Honors General Chem) Fall quarter or Chem 1B in Fall or Winter Quarter.

Email, Fax, or bring a copy of your Summer Session enrollment confirmation to the Chemistry Undergraduate Office in NS2 1101 in order to clear the prerequisite prior to your enrollment. A copy of your transcript is required once the summer session course is completed.

Email: undergrad@chem.uci.edu / Fax: 949.824.8571.

A complete listing of quarterly course prerequisites can be found on WebSOC. Click on the Prerequisite link next to the course number and title, i.e., Chem 1A GENERAL CHEMISTRY (Prerequisites)

Courses with lecture and accompanying lab must be taken with the same grade option.

A copy of your unofficial transcript is required. If work is in progress, you must furnish an official enrollment confirmation. At that time, you will be given conditional eligibility to enroll. You must then follow up by presenting your final transcript, which shows you have completed the course.

On your transcript include your NAME, STUDENT ID #, CLASS, QUARTER, and CONTACT #.

Concurrent enrollment is REQUIRED for Chemistry courses. Enroll in a Chemistry lecture, a discussion associated with that lecture, a Chemistry laboratory (if offered with course), and a laboratory lecture (when applicable). (Exception: unless otherwise stated or if you have prior credit for lecture or laboratory)

Attendance for week 1 is mandatory.

Yes.
You can't take the lecture without the lab, unless you have prior credit for the lab.

No, you cannot take Lecture without Lab. This does not apply if you have prior credit for either lecture or laboratory.

No, lectures and discussions are linked. Discussions are an integral part of the course. This is your opportunity to have those lectures and homework questions answered in more depth.

Non-Majors restrictions will be lifted 48 hours after the last fall quarter enrollment window opens. (There may be exceptions to this policy. Check WebSoc.)

For General Chem lab (G-Chem)-1)Make sure you attend the 1st week's lab! Go to RH 256, the General Chemistry Stockroom. You may attend ANY one of the G-chem lab sections in order to complete the first lab. 2)Keep your laboratory work and give it to the TA in the lab you ultimately enroll in. (There are NO MAKEUPS, missed labs=zero credit). 3)Use WebReg to find and register in an open lab section. 4)You must be enrolled in a laboratory section before the end of the second week. 4)Students who are not concurrently enrolled in both G-Chem lecture and the corresponding- G-Chem laboratory will be dropped.

For Organic Chem lab (O-Chem)-1)Make sure you attend the 1st week's lab! Go to RH 556, the Organic Chemistry Stockroom. You may attend ANY one of the O-chem lab sections in order to complete the first lab. 2)Keep your laboratory work and give it to the TA in the lab you ultimately enroll in. (There are NO MAKEUPS, missed labs=zero credit). 3)Use WebReg to find and register in an open lab section. You must be enrolled in a laboratory section before the end of the first week. 4)Students who are not concurrently enrolled in both O-Chem lecture and the corresponding- O-Chem laboratory will be dropped.

Enroll in a lab lecture that meets before your scheduled laboratory meets.

Students who aren't concurrently enrolled will not be able to advance to the next course without completion of all prerequisites for that course.

Each Engineering Major has a different requirement on how to meet their Chemistry requirements. Go to the Engineering Academic Advisors for assistance if you are uncertain about this. If you take a lab, it is mandatory to take the corresponding lecture, unless you already have credit for the lecture.

A 50.00 Non-Refundable Fee is added to your ZOTBILL @ 5PM on Friday, at the end of the 1st week.

Note** You will be double-billed if you add a new section AND forget to drop the old one before Friday at the end of the 1st week. No lab fee reversals will be considered after the end of each quarter.

If you are not enrolled in a general or an organic chemistry class at the end of the first week of classes, refer to the chart for the quarterly Chemistry Schedule available on the Chemistry Undergrad website: http://www.chem.uci.edu/~upo/, Choose the General and Organic Chemistry Course Schedule.

EXAM RETURNS

Chemistry Course Exams are returned to students electronically. The instructor will explain the procedure in each course.

UCI students are expected to conduct themselves maturely, patiently, responsibly and respectfully. Also, one must take heed of the fact that we are dealing with a great number of students and challenges and, therefore, may not always be able to help you immediately. Uncivilized behavior is never acceptable and may impede your request for help.

The Chem Undergraduate Office will utilize email when communicating academic policy and course information to chemistry students. Make sure you activate your UCInetID (http://www.nacs.uci.edu/email).

Note: We can't help you if you do not include your UCI ID#, your name, your contact information (email / phone#), and the reason you need assistance.

Students are also asked to go to the Chemistry Undergraduate Office website for pertinent information BEFORE contacting the office: http://www.chem.uci.edu/undergrad.
