Enrollment Policies
General Information
Campus-wide, when a student enrolls in a UCSD course, they acknowledge and accept the posted days and times of all scheduled course components, including the final exam. A student who gets and remains enrolled after the course syllabus has been issued acknowledges and accepts the policies and protocols detailed in the course syllabus, no matter the date and time when they enrolled in the class. A student who is unable to commit to the entire course for any reason is expected to drop the course within the allowable timeframe outlined in the posted campus information. Please be aware that although WebReg will allow a student to enroll in courses that conflict in any way, the campus considers it the student's responsibility to avoid doing so, as it may compromise academic success. A student may contact instructors to request accommodations to account for the conflict, but instructors are not required to grant them. If you are not able to enroll in a course but are interested in the course content, you may consider requesting permission to audit the course (see note below).
Note: Auditing at the sole discretion of the instructor, and must be requested and approved in writing (email request and email approval is fine). If the instructor approves your request to audit their course and the instructor wants to allow you to see their Canvas information, the instructor must log onto Canvas and follow these instructions to add you as an observer (the Department cannot grant you access). Auditors, please keep in mind that auditing does not make you eligible for enrollment; auditing does not make you enrolled or waitlisted for the course and you WILL NOT receive credit for the course, even if you choose to audit for the entire term and/or to complete work for the course. Auditors, please also keep in mind that you are NOT permitted to take exams in the course, nor be present in the classroom during any exams (this would be a violation of Academic Integrity).
