Spring 2018 Enrollment Notes

The Spring 2018 schedule of classes will be posted this Saturday, February 10. In preparation, we have compiled the following information for you regarding enrollment in CHP courses for the upcoming quarter. For more information on when to enroll, be sure to visit the Registrar’s Calendar. The CHP staff will be available next week to answer your enrollment questions.

• Who should enroll: All CHP freshmen
  1. Make sure to enroll in both parts of Honors Humanities Core: HUMAN 1C Lecture and a linked HUMAN H1CS Seminar.
• Sometimes certain seminar sections displayed on the Schedule of Classes end up not being offered or cancelled, so please plan a back-up section just in case.
• If you are an NCAA athlete or a declared Drama, Dance, or Music major who has scheduling difficulties due to your practice/rehearsal schedule, or if you are an Anteater Leadership Academy participant, you need to email requests for specific sections to honors@uci.edu by February 21.

CHEMISTRY H2C/LC

• Who should enroll: All students currently enrolled in Chemistry H2B/LB 
• Make sure to enroll in all four parts of Honors Chemistry:
  1. CHEM H2C Lecture
  2. CHEM H2C Discussion
  3. CHEM H2LC Lecture
  4. CHEM H2LC Lab
• In the unlikely event that you will be unable to continue with Honors Chemistry, we will address this schedule change with you in during Week 1 of Spring (grades will be posted on Friday, March 30). Until then, you should enroll in Honors Chem H2C/LC as normal.

SOCIAL SCIENCE H1E

• Who should enroll: CHP sophomores and juniors have been pre-authorized for Honors Social Science Core. 
• If Social Science H1F is full before you enroll and you need to take the course next quarter, then add yourself to the waitlist. Showing demonstrated need (via students putting themselves on the waitlist) will allow us to secure a larger room for the course.
• Alternatives to Social Science H1E include taking Chemistry H90 or one of the designated honors seminars. Please note that Humanities H81, LPS H91, LPS H95, and Music H80 are the only honors seminars for spring 2018 that can replace a quarter of Honors Social Science Core.

CHEMISTRY H90

• Who should enroll: All CHP sophomores and juniors have been pre-authorized for Honors Science Core. This class has been specially designed for CHP non-science majors.
• Enrollment in lecture AND discussion is required.
• Alternatives to Chemistry H90 include taking Social Sciences H1F or one of the designated honors seminars. Please note that LPS H91 and Physics H80 are the only honors seminars for spring 2018 that can replace a quarter of Honors Science Core.

HONORS SEMINARS

• The CHP offers specially designed honors seminars that can be used to substitute for one quarter of a CHP core course as designated by the CHP. Please visit the Honors Seminars webpage for course descriptions and for more information about how these seminars may help you fulfill your CHP core course requirements.
• You may use ONE total seminar to substitute for ONE QUARTER of a CHP core course as designated by the CHP.  Only ONE total substitution is permitted per student throughout their entire time at UCI, although you may take as many seminars as you wish for GE or elective credit. 
• If you are planning to enroll in a seminar for Spring 2018 but are unable to enroll in a seminar, then you are expected to enroll in the equivalent CHP core course.
