Petition for 20+ Units

Students who would like to request more than 20 units must complete the following form. No more than 24 units will be considered for one academic quarter. Requests will not be granted for students who have below a 3.00 cumulative UCI GPA, or for students who are requesting extra units in order to waitlist additional classes. Petitions are reviewed weekly and approval is granted on a case-by-case basis.

​NOTE: We do not accept excess unit petitions each quarter until after the Registrar has lifted their 18-unit limit. We begin reviewing petitions on these dates, according to the Registrar's calendar:

Request for Course Waiver or Substitution

Students who have completed coursework outside of UCI (at community college or another 4-year university) and would like to petition to have this course count towards an Education Sciences major or an Education minor requirement must fill out the following form. For California community college courses, students must check for approved courses through Assist.org and submit a request to update DegreeWorks through a General Petition form. 

Students who are planning on studying abroad must petition their coursework upon return. Please submit a course waiver petition for each course that you would like to use as an Education Sciences major or Education minor requirement. Current Education Sciences majors may submit petitions for GE courses. Students may tentatively petition courses prior to departure based on available course descriptions or syllabi. The decision is not final until another petition is submitted after your study abroad term ends, and the units/courses have been posted to your transcripts. 
​
*You will be required to upload a syllabus for all courses that you petition.
*Petitions are reviewed by our Faculty Director of Undergraduate Programs at the end of each quarter.

Request for Readmission 

Readmission
​

Readmission to UCI is NOT automatic or guaranteed.  Readmission is for students who have been disqualified or withdrew from UCI and would like to be readmitted into the Education Sciences major in the School of Education. Readmission to the major for students who have been disqualified from the University will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

If you are approved for readmission, a readmission fee of $70 will be charged to your ZotBill. Please see the UCI Registrar’s Readmission website for more information: https://www.reg.uci.edu/enrollment/readmission.html.

A readmitted student who has not been enrolled at UCI for three or more consecutive quarters (excluding summer sessions) will be held to the major requirements in effect the quarter of re-entry.

Deadline to Apply for Readmission:
​

Fall: August 1st
Winter: November 1st
Spring: February 1st

​**International students should plan on meeting with an advisor from the 
International Center to ensure visa requirements are met prior to discussing readmission with the School of Education**
