  1. Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences A Brief Overview of the Bren School of ICS

  2. Bren School Student Affairs Office • Contacting the office • Telephone: (949) 824-5156 • E-mail: ucounsel@uci.edu • Web: www.ics.uci.edu • ICS, Suite 352 • Office Hours • Monday –Friday: 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. & 1-4 p.m.

  3. Bren School of ICS Peer Advisors • Emily Ono, Muhammad Zaman • Meet students on a walk-in basis • check their website work hours • Can help you with • Academic planning • Schedule issues • Campus resources • Changing/Adding Majors • Minors • Academic progress check • Graduation Check • Non-academic issues • Stress management • Time management • Success strategies • 949-824-7047

  4. Add policy • The general campus deadline to add an undergraduate course is the end of the 3rd week of classes.  An earlier course add deadline may be imposed by the instructor, so be sure to carefully read WebSOC notes and the course syllabus. A request to add a course AFTER the unique course deadline or the end of week 3 must be initiated using the on-line Enrollment Exceptions system, and will require review and approvals by the course instructor, the Dean of the School that is offering the course and the Dean of the School that houses your major. 

  5. Drop policy • The general deadline to drop an undergraduate course is the end of the 2nd week of classes.  An earlier course drop deadline may be imposed by the instructor, so be sure to carefully read WebSOC notes and the course syllabus. • A request to drop a course AFTER the unique course deadline or the end of week 2 must be initiated using the on-line Enrollment Exceptions system, and will require review and approvals by the Dean of the School that is offering the course and the Dean of the School that houses your major. 

  6. Changing a grade option • The general campus deadline to change a grade option in an undergraduate course is the end of the 2nd week of classes.  An earlier course deadline to change the grading option may be imposed by the instructor, so be sure to carefully read WebSOC notes and the course syllabus.  A request to change a grading option AFTER the unique course deadline or the end of week 2 must be initiated using the on-line Enrollment Exceptions system, and will require review and approvals by the course instructor, the Dean of the School that is offering the course and the Dean of the School that houses your major.

  7. Taking courses outside UCI • Courses may be completed outside of UCI to satisfy general education and elective courses • You must take all major courses at UCI, and for a letter grade (no P/NP). • Check with http://www.assist.org/ to make sure community college courses will transfer! • At least 36 of the last 45 units of your degree must be completed at UCI
