Undergraduate Forms

You may submit a petition for no more than one institution at a time (maximum of three courses). Once you receive your results, you are welcome to submit more petitions. Each course requires a separate petition. For EAP please petition 1 institution at a time, 2 to 3 courses max.

All Biological Sciences majors must meet with an academic counselor for program approval.

This form should be submitted if you plan to take a major requirement outside of UCI. Major courses allowed include Chemistry, Math, and Physics only. All Bio Sci courses must be taken at UCI.  Please submit one form per course.

School of Biological Sciences majors can satisfy the upper-division writing requirement with Bio 100 and just two (2), instead of three (3) bio labs. Also, the bio lab requirement for Biological Sciences majors has been reduced from three (3) labs to two (2) labs. If you want to take advantage of this lab change, please complete the form, so we can update your DegreeWorks.

For non-bio courses, please contact the academic unit that is offering the course. The prerequisite clearance form will go live Monday, Nov 6th 2023 for Winter 24.
