MORE ABOUT TRANSFER SEMINARS AT UCI... |
| Seminars are offered in a wide range of disciplines with topics varying for fall, winter, and spring quarters. Students are encouraged to choose a seminar in their chosen discipline or one that is closely related as the seminars may assume basic knowledge of the discipline. Transfer seminars are normally taken for a letter grade, though students may choose the pass/not pass option. A maximum of two transfer seminars may be taken for credit, so long as the subjects vary. Students may add or drop a transfer seminar up until the end of the second week of classes. Transfer seminars are part of the exciting course offerings in the University Studies program offered by the Division of Undergraduate Education to enhance the experience of new UCI students. Additional courses include: • University Studies 2: UCI Majors, 2 units, fall/winter quarters. Open to all freshmen. Open to transfers as space allows, primarily in the winter. • University Studies 3: Freshman Seminars, 1 unit, fall/winter/spring quarters. Open to upper-division transfers as space permits. |
