Placement Examinations
Exam results are important for successful placement in first quarter classes. Some exams, such as Mathematics, are required for course enrollment. Examination results are used only for diagnostic purposes by the Warren Academic Advising staff when reviewing and recommending courses. Four types of placement exams are administered: the Analytical Writing Placement Exam (AWPE), Mathematics, Chemistry, and Foreign Language. Chemistry Placement Exam The Chemistry Placement Exam is highly recommended for those students planning to take General Chemistry. This webbased exam can be taken ONLY via https://chem-web.ucsd.edu/academic/placement/. Language Placement Exam Students who have a language background in French, German, Italian, or Spanish and wish to continue taking courses in the same language must take the Language Placement Exam. This web-based exam can be taken ONLY via https://lang. ucsd.edu/llp/placement.

Academic Policies and Regulations Grade Point Average (GPA)


Divide the total number of grade points earned by the total unit value of the letter-graded courses attempted. Grade points per unit: A+= 4.0 B+ = 3.3 C+ = 2.3 D = 1.0 A = 4.0 B = 3.0 C = 2.0 F=0 A- = 3.7 B- = 2.7 C- = 1.7 GPA calculator: http://TritonLink.ucsd.edu

Pass/ Not Pass


A maximum 25% of the total course units taken at UC San Diego may be taken Pass/Not Pass. A Pass requires a grade of C or higher. The GPA is not affected by a Pass/Not Pass grade, but units and course credits are applied. The Pass/Not Pass option is not allowed for major requirements.

Academic Performance
To remain in good academic standing at UC San Diego, students must maintain a quarterly and cumulative 2.0 GPA. A student is subject to academic probation if the quarter or cumulative GPA is less than 2.0 (C average). If at the end of any quarter, a students GPA is less than 1.5, or if two successive quarters are completed while on academic probation, the student will be subject to academic disqualification and may be barred from further registration at the University. Academic counselors and other campus professionals are available to assist students who may encounter academic difficulty throughout their undergraduate career at UC San Diego.

Minimum Progress
To comply with the University Minimum Progress regulation, students must complete thirty-six units during each academic year (Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters). A student on leave or approved part-time status for any quarter will be exempt for the entire period.

Maximum Unit Limitation


Students are limited to 200 units for B.A. and B.S. in Arts and Sciences, 230 units for B.S. Engineering, and 240 units for double majors.

Enrollment via WebReg


The online enrollment process begins Week 5 of each quarter. Enrollment appointment times are found on TritonLink along with the Schedule of Classes. At the enrollment start date, use WebReg to enter course selections. Students may enroll in up to 19.5 units during the pre-enrollment period. On the first day of instruction, students may enroll in a maximum of 22 units. To enroll in more than 22 units, students must obtain College approval.

Undeclared Majors
Undeclared students should explore courses in a variety of fields. Review the UC San Diego General Catalog descriptions of majors, courses, and prerequisites. Students must declare a major upon completion of 90 units.
