Limitations
As of Fall 2021 but is being enforced in Winter 22 and moving forward.
Students are no longer allowed to take an infinite number of Individual Study units for grades as has happened in the past.
You are now limited to 30 total units for your undergraduate career at UCI.
Anything above 30 units is expected to be taken for P/NP. (Academic Senate Regulation 325) Should you need to take a class as a 199P, please reach out to the CASA office at casa@eng.uci.edu and request the course be created with the specific instructor (eg, EECS 199P, Michael Green). A course will then be created that you will be able to add to your schedule.
Please check your record and enroll appropriately.
Technical Elective Credit
Please be aware of the Technical Elective Policy for your major regarding the use of a 199 course towards your Technical Elective requirements.
