Forms and Petitions

On-line Forms

• Advance Contract
  Use this form to inform us of your intent to take courses outside of UCI and to have courses evaluated in advance for applicability toward degree requirements.  Transferability of courses will be determined by the Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools upon receipt of an official transcript. Check the Senior Residency requirement before submitting an Advance Contract.

• Course Authorization Form
  Use this form to request authorization to enroll in a UCI course if you satisfied the prerequisite in some way other than taking a class at UCI (e.g. by taking an equivalent course at another school).  This form cannot be used to request authorization for a course that is already full, is restricted to majors only, is restricted to upper-division students only, or is otherwise restricted.

• Request Change to Graduation Application
  If you have already submitted your Application for Graduation, use this form to request a change (change the term of intended graduation, add or delete a minor).

• Petition for Excess Units
  Use this form to request permission to enroll in excess units (more than 20 units during Fall, Winter or Spring, or more than 10 units during a Summer Session).  You may also use the form to request more than 18 units during the initial enrollment window, but strong justification would be required.  Unless you are a graduating senior AND you have submitted a graduation application, you must submit your request for excess units AFTER the 18-unit enrollment limit is lifted (see the Registrar's calendar: http://www.reg.uci.edu/navigation/calendars.html); requests submitted before this date will not be considered.

• EAP Guidelines Form
  Use this form to learn about academic guidelines for studying abroad with the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP).  All EAP applicants must review these guidelines prior to submitting an application to the Study Abroad Center.
