As a graduate student, you are expected to register for each regular academic session (Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters) until all requirements for an advanced degree have been completed, including final examinations and the submission of an approved thesis or dissertation. Registration at UCI consists of two separate steps: 1) payment of applicable student fees; and 2) enrollment in at least one unit for graduate support recipients and six units for financial aid recipients1. Both steps must be completed to be officially registered. Registration must be accomplished online through WebReg. (The option to enroll in classes through WebReg is available through the second week of classes only. Beginning the third week of classes, Add/Drop/Change cards must be used to enroll).
Detailed registration procedures are provided in the quarterly Schedule of Classes and on the Registrar's website. Students are personally responsible for ensuring that they are registered officially by the end of the third week of each quarter.
If you haven't officially registered for the quarter by the end of the second week of classes, you must submit a Late Registration Authorization form to the Office of Graduate Studies.
1NOTE: Due to specific visa requirements, in most cases International Students must be registered full-time. To determine whether you might be eligible to go on part-time status, please contact the International Center.
