Engineering Course Enrollment Restrictions
Many engineering courses are major-restricted during the enrollment period. Please refer to the Engineering Course Enrollment Restrictions page to learn if and when major restrictions will be lifted.
How to create your study plan
- Review the UCI Catalogue for your major requirements, prerequisites, and course descriptions. You will also find University and General Education requirements.
- You can also look at your DegreeWorks to track your progress and see courses you are still missing.
- Use our Teaching Plan to see when your required courses should be taken. Keep in mind Engineering courses have many prerequisites. Also, several engineering courses are offered only ONCE a year.
- Feel free to use our templates when creating your study plan.
Some helpful tips when planning
- Community College Credit: Many students choose to take GE or even major required courses at a community college. Check out Assist and learn more about our articulation agreements with the California Community Colleges. Remember lower division writing MUST be completed at UCI.
How to find college courses that count towards UCI GE categories
- Navigate to Assist.org. Choose your community college on the right-hand side.
- Click on ” UC Transferable Courses.”
- Choose your subject/department.
- Find your course and under the column “UC areas”
- UC-B = GE III @ UCI
- UC-H = GE IV @ UCI
- If a course lists UC-B, UC-H, you can choose what GE you want the course to count towards; GE III or GE IV.
- If a course lists UC-B, UC-H, you can choose what GE you want the course to count towards; GE III or GE IV.
- GEs that Double Count: For GE courses, some may even satisfy two categories. Keep in mind GE III and IV can NEVER double count.
