<p>Is it possible to take more than 16 units in a quarter? As an incoming freshman I’m planning to take 4 classes (17 units) in the second quarter, which is why I was wondering. Any help is much appreciated!</p>
<p>yeah u can. I think for regular student max is 18 units while honor program student max is 20 units (correct me if i’m wrong, but u can definitely take 4 classes). the reason u can only sign up for 16 units right now is cuz not everyone has receive his/her class yet, so they limit u till everyone has gotten a chance to sign up for their 16 units. I think registration re-open on sept 7th (u can double check on the date online)</p>
<p>I just tell my adviser a couple days before I register to lift my registration cap to 17.</p>
<p>Hey! I have a couple of questions regarding UCR:</p>
<p>Is it difficult to transfer from UCR to another UC (e.g. UCI or UCLA)?
When is the best time to buy textbooks? Before classes begin or after?
Do you know any way to find out which textbooks your professors are going to use before class starts?
What is the best way to contact your professors?</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your help! :)</p>
<p>It’s pretty difficult to transfer from UCR to another UC. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, and it also depends on your major (for example, you will need a 3.5 for Arts and Architecture major, and you’ll need over 3.7 for engineering, science, and humanities major in order to transfer to UCLA) </p>

<p>For buying textbooks, I think it really depends on your professors. Some professors user textbooks, but others don’t. Go to classes first and see if textbooks are necessary. Also, check the iLearn so that you can see what kind of textbooks professors want. </p>
<p>If you want to contact your professors, go to [UC</a> Riverside: Home](<a href=“http://www.ucr.edu%5DUC”>http://www.ucr.edu) and type in your professor’s name. It will show your professor’s profile, including his/her contact info :)</p>
<p>Does anyone else have UCR fee woes? Like room and board? They took a huge chunk of my aid just today and it is close to Sept. 1…</p>
<p>P.S. I know they reserve the right to modify it at any time but still…</p>
<p>@Degenerated - yeah, they probably will, but you may not be able to register for that English 1A class until they clear it, which could cause problems for you regarding class availability at that time</p>
<p>can i take korean as a foreign language? do i have to be an asian studies major?</p>
<p>yes you can take korean as a foreign language, no you do not have to be an asian studies major</p>
<p>Does UCR have a summer program like UCSB’s Freshman Summer Start? So far Bridge looks as though it’s only for remedial and the Summer Sessions confuse me. Why are some sessions only 3 weeks or 7, or even 10 weeks? Are some classes only offered on specific session dates?</p>
<p>Is it mandatory to dorm your freshmen year at ucr?</p>
<p>@keestal no, you can choose to commute from your home or rent an apartment nearby if you want</p>
<p>i’m a bio major so i signed up for the AWPE and MAE, but do i have to take the CCDT exam? the description says that i have pass the CCDT exam if i want to take chem 1A, so if i don’t take the chem exam, will it affect my freshmen year classes?</p>
<p>@sunnyfish As far as I remember, to be able to enroll in Chem 1A as an incoming freshmen, you can either take and pass the CCDT OR place into Math 9A(Calculus) through the MAE.
If neither of these are achieved then you can’t take Chem 1A in the fall, which would put you back one quarter in the Chem 1ABC series. (i.e. instead of taking Chem 1A in the fall, Chem 1B in winter, and Chem 1C in spring, you would take 1A in winter, 1B in spring, and 1C in fall of the following academic year).
The info above only applies if you haven’t already passed the AP Chem or AP Calculus AB/BC exams. If you have then you don’t have to worry and are already eligible to enroll in Chem 1A.
Sorry if this sounds confusing and hope it helps.</p>
<p>EDIT: I forgot to add that you can be eligible to take Chem 1A by placing into Math 9A OR Math 8B via the MAE.</p>
<p>Also, if you don’t place into either 9A or 8B, you can always take whatever you were placed into (Math 5 or Math 8A) at UCR over summer so you can catch up and be able to enroll in Math 9A/8B and thus Chem 1A as well.</p>
<p>Hi im going to take the mae pretty soon and i was just wondering
Does anyone know how hard it is?
How many questions?
How close is the practice test to the actual one?
How many do you need right to get placed into calculus?
Any tips for studying?
Thanks everybody!!!</p>
<p>I just took a practice exam for the MAE and I did really poorly on it. How would you guys study for the exam? Thanks.</p>
<p>I would advise looking at the problems you missed. If you know how to do the problem and made a silly mistake, then you should be fine with that content. If its something that you don’t understand, however, then I’d suggest looking into bettering your understanding of that content. What level math course are you enrolled in currently? (I’m assuming you’re a high school senior. Is that correct?)</p>
<p>How do I apply for a double major? I wanted to add language. If I have to wait till orientation is there a chance it’ll be filled up?</p>
<p>There is, at least in the sciences, a laundry list of requirements for adding a second major. It has a lot more to do with lower- and upper-division units taken in the major as well as general ed. requirements than anything else (again, this is the sciences, so it very well could be different for languages?). But in any case, its my understanding that you should proceed in your existing major while letting your academic adviser know that you want to move towards a double. </p>
<p>To answer your question directly, I don’t think you have to worry about it filling up. I would advise coming up with a plan of what you want your double major to be in, and even a minor if you know that much detail already, and bringing that information to orientation and share it with your adviser when you schedule classes.</p>
