ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY REFRESHER COURSE – ENGR 1A Who takes it?

Civil, Environmental, Aerospace, Mechanical, Materials Science, Electrical

Chem AP score 4 or higher = ENGR1A credit Chem AP score 2 or 3 = ENGR 1A placement

85% mastery required for ENGR1A Deadline is September 17th

100% mastery = 5% extra credit

All other majors take Chem 1A or no Chem at all (CSE/CpE).

www.aleks.com/uci/engchem

CHEMISTRY 1A

How we determine math placement…

SAT Math score:450 & below = Math 1A451 – 599 = Math 1B600+ = Math 2A

Below 600 – encouraged to take placement test for possible start in Math 2A*

*Not starting in Math 2A could result in a 5 year plan of study

ALEKS for Calculus placement

Encouraged for ALL students regardless of placement

Provides learning modules for review www.testingcenter.uci.edu

AP Exams

We also use AP exams for course credit and/or placementFor example:

Calculus AP AB score 3 = Math 2A placement Calculus AP AB score 4 or 5 = Math 2B placement Calculus AP BC score 3 = Math 2B placement Calculus AP BC score 4 or 5 = Math 2D placement

Satisfactory Academic Progress AgreementTHE HENRY SAMUELI SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Satisfactory Academic Progress Agreement for

Engineering students

I understand that I am required to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to remain in good academic standing. Making SAP includes:

Maintaining at least 12 units each quarter.

Maintaining at least a 2.0 quarterly GPA each quarter.

Maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.

If I fail to meet SAP requirements, I understand that I will be placed on Academic Probation (AP) for the period of at least 1 quarter.

I also understand that during my 1st year as an Engineering student, I will be required to exit the School of Engineering if my quarterly GPA falls below a 1.5 or I am on AP for 2 consecutive quarters. I will work with an academic counselor to develop a plan of study to change my major. Appeals to remain in Engineering will only be considered after the 3rd quarter.

I acknowledge that I have been made aware of the academic resources that are available to me on campus. These resources include but are not limited to CODE tutoring, departmental tutoring and LARC.

Please note that this SAP agreement is with The Henry Samueli School of Engineering ONLY. It does not partner with or supersede any SAP agreement with the Financial Aid Office.

By signing below, I confirm that I have read and understand the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.

Strategies For Success

Identify your best time of day to study Use the same study location Study in groups Avoid distractions Treat school as a full-time job Utilize resources: LARC, CODE, tutoring Be realistic about the amount of work you can

get done in a given time period

Enrolling In Classes

WebReg

Log on using UCInetID and password Enrollment windows open on day of advising –

Freshman enrollment begins IMMEDIATELY following your academic advising (1pm)!

Enrollment via WebReg is available through Sept 15

18 units during initial enrollment, raised to 20 IUPP participant windows will open on 7/26 at 1pm

Enrollment Tips Enroll in ALL components of course (discussion, lab,

etc.) Refer to finals schedule when planning classes Refer to comments in WebSOC for specific info

regarding classes Some classes may be full – wait list Physics: always enroll in lab PRIOR to lecture Registration HOLDs

Determine what department placed the hold and contact for details
