Frequently Asked Questions
Enrollment
NOTE: Check your schedule on MyUCSC before
the third week of classes to make sure that you are enrolled in the classes you
are attending, that you have dropped any class you are not planning to attend,
and that the grading option you want (graded or pass/no pass) appears on your
schedule.

Q: How can I tell which classes are open?
A: Log into MyUCSC and go to Main Menu, select the My Student Center folder, select the My Student Center page, then click Search for Classes to get to the Class Search. The Class Search is also available to the public via a link on my.ucsc.edu. Please note that the search defaults to "Open Classes." To view all classes change the Status drop down to "All Classes."
Q: I am not able to use all of the Class Search features. Why
doesn't anything happen when I try to use some of the options?
A: You may not be meeting the browser requirements for
the Class Search: Firefox 2.0+ or Internet Explorer 6+.
Q: There is a hold on my enrollment. What can
I do to clear it?
A: Log on to MyUCSC and go to Main Menu, select the My Student Center folder, then select the My Student Center page. Holds are displayed on the right. Click “Details” to find information regarding the hold and how to get it released.
Q: How do I change my grading option?
A: Follow the instructions on this page: How
to Change a Grade Option or Secondary Section.
Q: What are permission numbers?
A: Permission numbers override course requirements and a closed
status of a class. They are also required for interview only/instructor consent
classes. Permission numbers are required for all classes, except individual studies,
after the seventh day of instruction, and may be issued earlier at the discretion
of the department and/or instructor.
Q: How do I get a permission number?
A: Permission numbers are issued by the individual departments
on campus. Contact the instructor or department associated with the class to
request a permission number. Distribution of permission numbers is subject to
department and/or instructor discretion.
Q: I have taken the required prerequisites
for a course at another institution, yet I am unable to enroll for the class.
What should I do?
A: Contact the department or college offering the course.
Q: I am getting an enrollment error
message that says the prerequisites have not been met, but I believe that I have
fulfilled the prerequisites. What do I do?
A: Review the prerequisites, co-requisites and other restrictions
for the class in the Class Search and confirm that your student record reflects
satisfaction of all requisites. If there is still a perceived problem, contact
the Office of the Registrar at (831) 459-4412.
Q: I am unable to enroll in a class
that is open because all of the mandatory sections are closed. What should I
do?
A: Contact the department that is offering the class.
Q: Is it possible for an instructor
to drop a student from a class?
A: Yes, students who do not attend the first class meeting may
be administratively dropped at the instructor's request. View your schedule via
the portal to confirm your enrollments prior to the Add/Drop/Swap deadline.
Q: I am trying to enroll in a class,
but the time conflicts with another class or section. What should I do?
A: You may be able to resolve the problem by swapping to a different
secondary section, lab, studio, etc. offered at another time (See "How
to Change a Grade Option or Secondary Section" above). If you are unable
to resolve the conflict by swapping, you should call the Office of the Registrar
at (831) 459-4412. We will override any time conflict a student has if they let
us know they have worked it out with the instructor. We do not require written
verification from instructors.
Q: I missed the Add/Drop/Swap and
the Add by Petition deadlines to enroll in classes. What should I do?
A: Please note the following important change: Enrollment Adjustment Petitions
will no longer be available as of fall 2005; therefore, it is very important that
you confirm that your enrollments are correct by viewing your schedule on MyUCSC before
the third week of classes. Students wishing to correct an enrollment error from previous
quarters should contact their college preceptor.
Q: I missed the Add/Drop/Swap deadline
and now I want to enroll in a class. What should I do?
A: Students may still add a class after the Add/Drop/Swap deadline through
the Add by Petition process.
Add by Petition forms
are available online at http://reg.ucsc.edu/Forms/add_by_petition_form.pdf or
from the Office of the Registrar. There is a $10 fee associated with this form.
Students are required to obtain signatures from the instructor and department
in order to add a class. Some students may be required to obtain a college adviser
signature as well. Instructions and deadlines are listed on the form.
Q: I missed the Add/Drop/Swap deadline and now I want to drop a
class. What should I do?
A: Students may not drop a class after the posted deadline. Withdraw grades
are available for undergraduate students through the college office. Graduate students
are not eligible for Withdraw (W) grades. Graduate students should see the graduate
adviser for their department for more information...
