[CHANGE IN PROCEDURES]

NO AUTHORIZATION CODES are needed for Winter 2008 enrollment in honors core courses.

The winter schedule of classes can now be viewed at http://websoc.reg.uci.edu/perl/WebSoc

Start planning your schedule!

All CHP enrollment windows will begin opening on Monday, November 19 at 9:00 am.  Log into WebReg anytime before then to check your exact window time

Winter 2008 Honors Core Courses:

Humanities Core H1B

Honors General Chemistry H2B, H2LB (requires a B or better in Chem H2A)

Social Science Core H1E

Physics H90

If you have an unusual situation (i.e. Freshmen taking Social Science Core or Seniors taking any part of an honors core), you will need to notify us IN ADVANCE so we can approve you for the core you need to enroll in. All freshmen will be pre-approved for Humanities Core H1B and Chem H2B, H2LB. All sophomores & juniors are approved for Social Science Core H1E and Physics H90. If you do not fit in either of these groups, we need to know!

I will be accepting section requests from those who have scheduling difficulties (athletes, dancers, work schedules, and those who have irreconcilable course conflicts). But “preference” requests will not be granted, so please do not email me unless your situation only allows for one possible arrangement–All other requests will be ignored. Students requesting a particular section should still try to enroll when their window opens. In the event that your NEEDED section fills, please contact the honors office and we can help you.
