Approximately 1,800 first-year students enrolled
Nearly 70 upper-class Peer LeadersLC CoreGreat Beginnings Certificate Program
57 Unique courses from 10 schools and colleges
-
When a student requests permission to drop a class, the advisor must send an email to Amanda Middleton including the students UCID number, the course and section that need to be dropped and why the course needs to be dropped
Once the drop permission has been approved by Amanda and entered into UniverSIS the student will receive an email (with the requesting advisor copied) letting them know that it is okay to drop
-
Autumn QuarterThe student MUST be in a Learning Community and no other LC fitsExamples: AP Credit for an Engineering student, Football practice for a CJ student
Winter/Spring QuartersThe student cannot continue with a course sequenceThe course conflicts with an inflexible commitmentExamples: A student did not pass CHEM101 so cannot continue to CHEM102, Choir practice is only offered at a certain time.
-
Drop permission is no longer required after calendar day 21 of each quarter
Drop permission is never required for dropping the entire LC (15MLTI111)
Drop permissions are typically purged one week after they were granted
-
Beginning with Spring we will be piloting a new course permission function for LCs
Deadlines for registration will be changing with the new permission system
If you are interested in joining the spring quarter pilot please contact Amanda Middleton ASAP
