Dear New Physical Sciences Transfer Student:

Welcome to UCI and the School of Physical Sciences. We are confident that you can profit from the kind of intensive and stimulating educational experience that we are striving to provide for students on this campus. An important component of academic success is the careful selection of courses appropriate to your educational goals and background.

A hold has been placed on your Fall quarter enrollment. Due to COVID-19, Academic Advising will be completely online for those admitted for Fall 2021. You will not be allowed to enroll in classes until you complete Online Academic Advising. There are two steps you must do to complete Online Academic Advising (more info found here: https://ps.uci.edu/stuaff/content/fall2021-transfer-students)

• STEP 1: ACADEMIC COURSE HISTORY FORM

Go to and complete the online Academic Course History form that tells us about your academic course history and courses you’ve taken/completed/or plan to complete in Winter/Spring/Summer 2021 terms. It is recommended that you complete step 1 as soon as possible. It is VERY IMPORTANT that this form is submitted accurately; what you submit will impact your ability to enroll correctly into Fall 2021 quarter courses. Your enrollment in courses could be delayed if you do not submit the form accurately.

In addition, before you complete this form, you must have electronic copies of ALL unofficial transcripts (from all colleges/universities that you’ve attended) and your IGETC certificate (if available) in electronic format. PDF format is preferred. You will be required to upload all documents as part of the Academic Course History form.

When you have all electronic documents ready, you can proceed to the online Academic Course History form here: https://ps.uci.edu/stuaff/content/academic-course-history-form

It is recommended that you submit the Academic Course History Form as early as possible.

• STEP 2: COMPLETE ONLINE ACADEMIC ADVISING

On June 8th at 12:00pm (PDT), you will be emailed instructions on how to complete Online Academic Advising ONLY IF you've completed STEP 1 (submitted the Academic Course History form). It is important that you complete STEP 1 first.

Online Academic Advising requires that you complete a total of 7 steps which can take around 3-5 days to complete. Once you have completed all steps, the academic hold on your record will be removed and you will be eligible to enroll in fall quarter classes.

Before you begin Online Academic Advising, please do the following:

1. Review the requirements for your major in the online UCI General Catalogue (http://www.editor.uci.edu/catalogue/).

2. Go to http://www.assist.org to see what UCI classes you have credit for.

3. Look at the Searchable Schedule of Classes and become familiar with it. (http://websoc.reg.uci.edu/perl/WebSoc)

4. Watch ALL of these video tutorials to learn more about the UCI registration system: http://ps.uci.edu/stuaff/content/video-tutorials

5. Request that your previous schools send official copies of your transcripts to the UCI Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools by July 1.
