Always include your ID number and name on any documentation you submit for verification.

A complete listing of course prerequisites can be found at http://webster.reg.uci.edu:8800/cgi-bin/prrqcgi

If you don't meet the prerequisites for the course, you will be dropped from the course by the Chemistry Department.

STUDENTS WITH AP CREDIT:

Have a score of 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Chemistry Examination? You do not take the Chemistry Placement Exam and are ineligible for enrollment in Chemistry 1A during the academic year. Students with AP credit exempting them from Chemistry 1A will have the choice of beginning with Chemistry 1B in Winter quarter 2008 or enrolling in Chemistry H2A, Honors General Chemistry, in the Fall quarter 2008. The Chemistry Department will allow students who have earned Chemistry 1A credit via AP to enroll in the Summer Session Chemistry 1A at UCI in order to fulfill professional school admission requirements. NO CREDIT will be given for grades and units earned in this course. Choose the audit option when you enroll in the Summer Session.

Have a score of 3 or lower on the AP Chemistry exam? You are required to take the Chemistry Placement exam.

REPEAT STUDENTS:

You will not have access to the Chemistry courses you wish to repeat when your enrollment window initially opens.

1) You may not repeat a Chemistry course more than once during the academic year. You are encouraged to retake lower division Chemistry courses during Summer Session I & II.

2) Did your grade prevent you from advancing in the series or to the next course level? Enroll at the adjustment period starting on Friday, December 7, 2008 at 5pm.

IMPORTANT LABORATORY INFORMATION:
