Overview

Credit value in quarter units is indicated in parenthesis after course numbers. One quarter unit equals two-thirds of a semester unit. You should notify your instructor by midterm whether you are taking a course "for credit" or "not for credit." If you are taking the course for credit, you must choose whether you wish a letter grade or prefer the "pass/not pass" option. Note: Certificate candidates should complete their courses with letter grades. Certain courses are only offered on a Pass/Not pass basis and will be noted in the course description.

All grades (except "incomplete") are final when filed by the instructor. You can view your grades and print a grade card from extension.uci.edu. Simply click My Account Login to create an account and access your grades under My Students Links. A-excellent, B-good, C-fair, D-barely passed, F-failure, P-passed (equal to the letter grade of C or better), NP-not passed (less than C), and I-incomplete (may be revised only by completing necessary work through arrangements directly with the instructor. Limit: one year period although instructor may grant less time.) Plus and minus suffixes may be attached to the grades A, B, C and D.

Auditing

Auditors are students who wish to attend UC Irvine Extension courses but do not desire academic credit. Your work will not be evaluated (you are not required to take exams or complete projects). Students who choose to audit a course may attend any and all sessions of the course, participate in discussions, activities and assignments but are not required to do so.

If you want to audit a course, follow regular registration procedures and pay the full fee listed for each course. Be sure to update your grade option as ‘audit’ and inform your instructor that you have selected this grade option.

No provisions for students to merely “sit-in” on UC Irvine Extension courses are made and attendance without payment of fees is prohibited.

Continuing Education Units

Programs with 800 series numbers followed by the letters CEU offer Continuing Education Units. The CEU is a means for measuring and recording noncredit postsecondary-level study, useful where employers, relicensure agencies and other authorities require a specified number of hours of instruction for career advancement, and where noncredit study is acceptable., One CEU is awarded for ten contact hours of participation; less than ten hours are shown as a fractional CEU.
