If the course section does not have seats available, or if the section switch occurs after the add and/or drop deadlines, undergraduate students use the Undergraduate Course Change form to request the add and drop of the same course. Section Switches after the drop and/or add deadline should not be processed by obtaining a PTA and PTD number.
Before the add and drop deadlines, students can use the "Swap Section/Course" function to switch from one section to another section of the same course by using Schedule Builder provided the desired section has seats available in the section they wish to add.

"Passing quality" means "of C quality or better." This standard holds in such courses whether or not the student has elected to take the course on a Passed/Not Passed or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis.
UC Davis courses are classified and numbered as follows: Lower division courses are numbered 1-99. Upper division courses are numbered 100-199. Graduate courses are numbered 200-299.
'” While many upper division courses may indeed be more difficult, they often have smaller class sizes, creating a more interactive learning environment for students.
Can I take Upper Division courses my first quarter? If you are a first year (not transfer) student, no, you should not take Upper Division courses (numbered above 99) during your first quarter at UC Davis.
B+ 3.300. B 3.000 "Good" B- 2.700.
E = the student has exceeded the grade level standard(s) M = the student has met the grade level standard(s) P = the student has partially met the grade level standard(s) D = the student did not meet the grade level standard(s)
passing gradesThe grades of A, B, C, D and P are passing grades. Grades of F and U are failing grades. R and I are interim grades. Grades of W and X are final grades carrying no credit.
400-level course designation Advanced upper-division courses, seminars, practicums, or internships for majors and upper- division students.
In contrast, 300- and 400-level classes are considered upper division. These courses are primarily for juniors and seniors. Courses numbered 500 or higher typically represent graduate-level classes. Other schools use different numbering systems.

Students may modify the number of units of a variable-unit course by the 25th day of instruction. Obtain permission from the instructor and using Schedule Builder:
Students can reinstate the original grade mode for Grading Variance courses by completing the Undergraduate Course Change form by the 25th day of instruction.
Course Number: The course number must be three digits and may include a one or two character alphabetic suffix. For example, Music 1 should be entered as Music 001 and Science 10 should be entered as Science 010. 001-099 for lower division courses.
The abbreviated title is limited to 24 characters and spaces. Do not use periods. Symbols , ; , - ] count as characters. Make the abbreviated title clear and informative, so that it will be easily understood by students, advisors, and other institutions. Use as many of the 24 spaces as needed to make the subject clear.
To register in courses after the 12th day of instruction without any prior existing enrollment for the current term, submit a General Appeal Petition to the Office of the University Registrar. For inquires, contact the Office of the University Registrar.
To change the unit value of a course after the 25th day of instruction, but on or before the last day of instruction, approval of a graduate advisor with signature authority and the dean of Graduate Studies is required.
Late Add of a Course after the PTA Deadline. To add a course after the PTA deadline, submit a Retroactive Change Petition. Late Drop Information.
Note: Students who register for a 10-day drop course or are moved from the waitlist into a 10-day drop course after the drop deadline have a 72-hour grace period to come to the Office of the University Registrar, in 3100 Dutton Hall, to drop the course.

Once enrolled or waitlisted, you are responsible for attending lecture, checking Canvas and Campuswire, and completing assignments/quizzes/exams, just the same as any other student in the course . It is your responsibility to alert the course staff if you cannot access something due to adding the course late.
You get to submit twice, so you can correct answers that you got wrong on the first submission. (On rare occasions there may be three submission attempts, for especially long quizzes, but the default number of submissions will be two.) Some number of the lowest reading quiz scores will be dropped.
The difference between them is that it is preferable for the scheduled lecture time to involve generic questions about the lecture material, whereas office hours is more appropriate for questions that might not be of interest to all students (e.g., about a specific homework problem).
However, since written homework is not scored directly, you may share potential solutions with classmates and discuss them (in person or on Campuswire). This is also true of randomized autograded problems (see below). However, do not share potential solutions to non-randomized autograded problems with each other prior to the late deadline.
Registration—begins: start of Registration (Pass One, Pass Two, Open registration); ends —day before Registration Freeze.
Schedule adjustment begins after the registration freeze ends for the quarter (the registration freeze is a period of time where no students can make registration changes).
