Why do I have to take Classical Physics at UCI?

I have credit for Ap Physics C: mechanics because I scored a 5 on the Ap exam. But why must I take classical physics when the subject material isn’t new and pretty much exactly the same: momentum, force, torque, etc. Mechanics wasn’t much of a challenge, and sitting in a class where someone talks about something you already know seems very boring and like a waste of time.
