Top Five Enrollment FAQ's
How do I request to drop a UC Online course?
Please follow our procedure for dropping a course.
What is the procedure for adding a course late?
Students must obtain approval from the course instructor and then use their campus email account to email UC Online Support requesting a late add. The email must include the course name, number and section, as well as documentation of approval from the course instructor. UC Online Support will confirm all approvals. Once approved, students will be notified by email confirming they have been added to the course.
Will dropping a UC Online course I'm taking at another campus affect my standing at my home campus?
This depends on how many total units you’re enrolled in for the term. If dropping the course would bring you below the required minimum units, it may affect your financial aid eligibility.
What are the deadlines for adding and dropping UC Online courses?
Students are required to follow the add/drop deadlines of the host campus (the UC campus offering the course). For add/drop and other important deadlines, please contact the host campus Registrar’s Office.
How will I know that I'm actually enrolled in a UC Online course?
After registering, you will receive an email indicating that you have provisionally registered for the course. Your home campus will then determine your eligibility, and you will receive another email confirming whether you are eligible to take the course. If your home campus denies your enrollment, you will be dropped from the course.
