Registration

Registration at UCI consists of two separate steps that must be completed in order to be officially registered:

  • Enrollment in classes
  • Payment of fees

It is against Academic Senate policy (SR 542 and IR 340) for you to attend classes before paying fees and enrolling. Students at UCI enroll in classes and pay fees with their UCInetID.

UCInetID

A UCInetID and password is required for access to campus systems. You may activate your UCInetID through the Network & Academic Computing Services (NACS) web site.

University offices and faculty use email to communicate with students. This is frequently the preferred means to communicate official notices regarding student status and important class information.

Remember to check your email daily as your mailbox can fill quickly during the first two weeks of a semester. A full mailbox will prevent the delivery of new messages.

You may set a delivery point that is different than your UCI email so that you do not miss important announcements.

Payment of Fees

During the registration period, you may enroll in classes before paying fees. However, fees must be paid on time in order to avoid being dropped from classes and the assessment of late charges.

Late charges will be assessed for late payment or late enrollment.

Students at UCI enroll in classes with their UCInetID and password through WebReg.

Enrolling in Courses - WebReg

You may enroll in classes and make schedule changes during the enrollment-by-window period and the open enrollment periods. Refer to the Law Semester Calendar with Deadlines.

WebReg is available from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. daily, with occasional downtime for maintenance.

Once your enrollment window opens, you have 48 hours of full access before you are restricted to non-prime time access (7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.), while other students' enrollment windows open on an established priority basis.

Continuing Students: To find your enrollment window, visit StudentAccess beginning the 12th week of the current semester.

Once logged in to WebReg, you will be able to:

  • add or drop classes
  • use the waitlist option
  • change the grade option or variable units on applicable classes
  • list the open sections of selected classes
  • receive confirmation of successful enrollment transactions
  • receive error messages for unsuccessful attempts to add, drop, or change enrollment
  • be notified of any academic holds on your record
  • verify your registration fee status

Add/Drop/Change Courses

Adding and dropping courses during the first two weeks of instruction can be done online via WebReg. Remember, you must enroll in a minimum of 12 units and you cannot exceed 15 units without the approval of the Dean of Students. Approval is requested via an Academic Rules Petition (doc).

You are responsible for your official enrollments.

To add or drop a course, between the third and eleventh week of classes, you must request approval from the Dean of Students.

NO courses can be added or dropped after the start of the last week of instruction for a semester. See law school academic calendar for specific dates.

Add/drop/change cards can be used to change the unit enrollment for a course or the grading option (grade to credit/no credit, or vice versa).

Courseload

The ABA requires full-time law students enroll in a minimum of 12 units per grading period. The maximum number of units that law students can enroll in without the Dean of Student’s approval is 15 units. If for some reason you need to enroll in fewer than 12 units or more than 15 units, you will need to complete an Academic Rules Petition (doc) and get the Dean of Student's signature for approval.

Late Enrollment

You must enroll in classes before the end of the second week of instruction. You will be assessed a $50 late enrollment charge if you are enrolled in zero units or register after the end of the second week of instruction.

Loss of Student Status

The final deadline for paying fees late and/or enrolling late is the last day of instruction. Failing to pay fees and enroll by this final deadline will result in the loss of student status.

Academic Holds

Some academic holds prevent enrollment in classes. If you have an academic hold on your record, immediately contact the office that placed the hold.

Classes are dropped if a hold remains on your record at 5:00 p.m. on the fee payment deadline.
