Concurrent Enrollment

If you wish to enroll in a Chemistry/Biochemistry lecture course via Concurrent Enrollment, read and follow the steps below:

1. Follow all instructions on how to sign up for classes via Concurrent Enrollment, per UCSD Extension's website: 
2. Attend the CHEM lecture course/s you wish to add. This includes virtual courses.
   • Only students who have verified their vaccination status through Extension or received an exemption/deferral may take in person courses. If you have not been approved by Extension and verified in MyChart you are not allowed to attend on-site classes.
3. Complete a Concurrent Enrollment e-add card. IMPORTANT: Add cards will not be approved for courses that are full so please only submit for courses with availability listed on the schedule of classes. Seats in available courses will be released to students on a first-come first-serve basis.  Note: instructor approval is required for undergraduate classes which are co-scheduled with graduate level classes (e.g. CHEM 156 and 256). If you submit a request to enroll in a class of this type, Student Affairs will reach out to the course instructor to review your request once your add card has been submitted.
4. A Chemistry/Biochemistry academic advisor will review your e-add card and will notify you if any additional information is needed. If your e-add card is complete and there is space available in your requested course, your e-add card will be approved.
5. If approved, UCSD Extension will provide a 6 digit section ID to pay online. You can also call Student Services at (858) 534-3400 to pay over the phone. For instructions on how to pay when you receive your 6 digit section ID click here.

Concurrent Enrollment for chemistry/biochemistry lab courses is handled by the Chemistry and Biochemistry laboratory staff. If you wish to enroll in one of the department’s lab courses via concurrent enrollment, read and follow the steps below:

1. Submit your request via the Concurrent Enrollment Interest Form For Lab Courses. Be prepared to be flexible, as your preferred section or meeting time is not guaranteed.
2. Unlike CHEM lecture course(s), do not attempt to attend a lab section until you are officially enrolled. Only students officially enrolled in a lab course may attend a lab section. This includes virtual courses.
3. Wait for email notification regarding which lab section you are approved to enroll in. If seats are available, you should expect to receive notification via email by Friday of Week 1. Note that lab enrollment via Concurrent Enrollment is not guaranteed.
4. If you are approved, you will be asked to submit a Concurrent Enrollment e-add card for the approved lab section. You will be required to submit your e-add card by a deadline given by lab staff. Lab staff will review your e-add card and will notify you if any additional information is needed. If your e-add card is complete and there is still space available in the requested lab section, your e-add card will be approved.
