Honors Student Enrollment Perks

You get to enroll early, but you must read all instructions & be in good standing with CHC and UCI!

Why CHC Students Get Priority Enrollment:

  • You need to take Honors classes every quarter until you complete the CHC requirements and you will need to plan your schedule around your CHC classes
  • UCI wants to help you fit everything in your schedule

What This Means:

  • You get early enrollment access (Monday of Week 8 during the Fall/Winter/Spring quarters)
  • You can sign up for up to 18 units during your initial window
  • Find your exact enrollment window in your UCI Registrar student portal, under “student profile”

The Details:

  • Initial enrollment window: can enroll in up to 18 units
  • Students can find out how many units they have been authorized for (if over 18 units) in your UCI Registrar student portal, under “student profile”
  • Later: Cap goes up to 20 units after all students get their initial chance to enroll
  • See Registrar’s Calendar for specific dates of when unit caps lift to 20 units
  • Want more than 20 units? Ask your school advising office, as CHC staff cannot lift unit caps

Reminders:

  • Priority enrollment doesn’t guarantee you’ll get every class/class time you want
  • Priority enrollment won’t override course restrictions or prerequisites (check the “gray box” at the top of the course listing on the
    Schedule of Classes website to see when restrictions lift)
  • Use your early window ASAP or lose your advantage, as other students will have their windows immediately following yours
  • Since summer session is considered optional, CHC students do not get priority windows for summer school enrollment at UCI.

Pro Tips:

  • Always have a Plan B for classes
  • Use your early window ASAP or lose your advantage
  • Spot conflicts? Talk to a CHC advisor early, well before the initial enrollment window
