Summer Session

Cross Enrollment

Concurrent Enrollment – Division of Continuing Education
If are interested in enrolling in an ICS course and are currently not a UCI student, review the following:

Application

Please be sure to fill out a complete application for each ICS course you are requesting before the deadlines in the Academic Calendar.
Transcripts must be included with the application for consideration
If the course has a lab and/or discussion, the course code for that section must be requested at the same time.
Do NOT request a course that is currently full or on waitlist as you will not be accepted into the course.
Reviews will take place one week before classes start and be completed before the first day of classes. Enrollment will not be approved on or after the 1st day of classes.
Please check your email daily for any updates regarding your status. You will receive a notification of acceptance or denial from the Division of Continuing Education.

Course Work

Students waiting for admission into any ICS course should be in communication with that course’s instructor to arrange for access to course materials and submission of any assignments while on the review list.
Being on the review list or completing coursework DOES NOT guarantee a seat in the course.
Note: We will consider all options during the application review process, however enrollment into our courses is not a guarantee and exceptions will not be granted.

Additional Notes

The Donald Bren School of ICS enforces a strict Friday of Week 2 deadline to add, drop, or change the grade option of the course; any requests for a course passed the Friday of Week 2 will not be granted.
Obtaining the instructor’s approval on the Concurrent Enrollment form does NOT mean that you will gain access to the course. The ICS Student Affairs Office has final approval as to who is allowed or is not allowed in their courses.
Prerequisites for each ICS course are strictly enforced.
If you no longer intend to enroll in a course, please inform the Division of Continuing Education immediately via email (dce-services@uci.edu) so that we may release the seat to another student in need.

If you experience problems while enrolling classes, do all of the following:

Go to the Schedule of Classes and read the comments for the class and the department.
Log into WebReg and try enrolling one more time.
Note what error message you are getting, and know what it means.
If the prerequisite of an ICS course is being fulfilled by a transfer course or a syllabus review, please check the Course Eligibilities on your Student Access. If the ICS course is not listed, you will need to submit an Online Prerequisite Clearing Request form for review.
If you still cannot figure out why you are getting that message, contact the department offering that class.

Remember, if you are trying to add or drop a class after the Week 2 deadline, you do not use WebReg to do so; you must instead submit an Enrollment Exception Request through Student Access. Log in to your Student Access page to do this but know that there is no guarantee that an exception gets approved; each department on campus has its own policies for exception requests.
