ADDS/DROPS FOR PHYSICS COURSES 1 THROUGH 61:

DROP LECTURE, DISCUSSION & LAB: The deadline to drop any Physics course is Friday, April 12, 2013 (the 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.

ADD LAB: The deadline to add a Physics Lab is Friday, April 12, 2013 (the end of Week 2). Adds must be made using WebReg. Please NOTE: This deadline is earlier than the Week 3 School of Physical Sciences deadline.

ADD LECTURE AND DISCUSSION: The deadline to add a Physics Lecture and Discussion is Friday, April 19, 2013 (the end of Week 3). Adds must be made using WebReg. NO ADDS WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER THIS DATE.

Students who wish to make a grade option change before April 12, 2013 (the end of Week 2) should do so via WebReg. Students wishing to make a grade option change after that date must submit an Enrollment Exception via StudentAccess. Required approval is Dean of the student's major; approval is NOT guaranteed. Send enrollment questions to physics.enroll@uci.edu.

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

DISCUSSION SECTIONS:

1. The Physics Tutoring Center is available to students in Physics 2, 3, 7, 51, and 61. Please check http://www.physics.uci.edu/ugrad/affairs for scheduling.

2. Enrollment in lecture and discussion is required. Most sections fill to capacity so students should plan their schedules carefully and enroll as early as possible using WebReg. See above for information on how to add/drop a discussion section.

3. Attendance in your assigned discussion section is MANDATORY throughout the quarter. No quizzes or exams will be graded for students who do not attend their assigned section.

5. LAB FEES: Students of Physics 3LB-LC, 7LD, 52A-B-C, 121 and 206 will be charged a $25 lab fee. The charges for these classes will be added to your ZOT Bill Week 1 of the quarter. These charges will be posted Week 3 if you add a Physics lab after week one. The last day to add a lab is Friday, April 12, 2013 (the end of Week 2). Students who drop a Physics lab course no later than April 12, 2013 may have the fee reversed. In order to reverse the lab fee, students must bring proof of the drop date and their Student ID card to FRH 4109, hours 9-12pm Monday through Friday.

PREREQUISITES:

Physics 3 courses must be taken sequentially: 3A, 3B, 3C.

USING THE WAITLIST SYSYEM: The waitlist system for all Physics courses will be activated through Friday of second week. Placement on the waitlist does not guarantee enrollment in the class. Students still on the waitlist after the end of week 2 will not be added via the waitlist system. If you are unable to add through the waitlist system, you must add an open section using WebReg by the end of week 3.

Visit https://www.reg.uci.edu/registrar/waitlist.html for more information regarding the waitlist system.
