Enrollment for Visiting Students

Concurrent Enrollment through UC San Diego Extension provides the opportunity for those who are not registered UC San Diego students to enroll in undergraduate classes at UC San Diego. Concurrent Enrollment students are part of the UC San Diego community and are expected to follow University and UC-wide policies, including the Student Conduct Code and the UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship. The following information is exclusively for enrollment in undergraduate classes at the Rady School of Management. For all other non-MGT classes, please refer to the department website for more information.

Concurrent enrollment is not guaranteed. Concurrent enrollment students may be eligible to enroll in a Rady undergrad class after all registered UC San Diego students have completed enrollment. It is possible students will not be approved for enrollment in some classes until Monday of Week 3.  Although we do our best to accommodate Concurrent Enrollment students, Rady undergrad classes are very high in demand and Concurrent Enrollment students may not be able to enroll in any classes.

Unavailable Rady Undergrad Classes
Classes that are full or have a waitlist at 4:00pm on Friday, April 14, are unavailable for enrollment to Concurrent Enrollment students, even if seats become available after that time. Students will gain access to the course’s Canvas page 24-48 hours after submitting an enrollment request. NOTE: Having Canvas access does not indicate a student is enrolled in a class. Only an official approval email from Extension indicates a student is enrolled in a class.

In addition to courses that are full or have a waitlist, the following classes are permanently unavailable for all visiting students, as these classes are only available to matriculated UC San Diego students: MGT 71, MGT 100, MGT 121B, MGT 131B, MGT 160, MGT 164, MGT 180, and all courses listed as 200 or higher.

Enrolling in Rady Undergrad Classes

All enrollment requests/E-Add cards must be submitted by Sunday, April 16 at 11:59pm.

    • Students should submit one enrollment request per courseIf a student submits enrollment requests for multiple sections of a course, the subsequent requests will be denied. For example, if a student submits an enrollment request for a course that takes place on Mondays at 5:30pm and then submits another enrollment request for the same course but it takes place on Tuesdays at 5:30pm, the enrollment request for the Tuesday section will be denied because the student already has an enrollment request for the same course in the queue.
    • If you would like to change your requested section for a course, you must contact your UPS advisor so they can cancel your original request so you can submit a new request. Remember, all enrollment requests/E-Add cards must be submitted by Sunday, April 16 at 11:59pm.

It is in the student’s best interest to submit requests for courses that have plenty of available seats at the start of the quarter. It is the student’s responsibility to review UC San Diego’s Schedule of Classes to determine which course(s) have available seats.

Instructors do not manage enrollment for MGT courses. Please do not contact instructors requesting a seat in the course.

Concurrent Enrollment for Readmission

For students who have been academically disqualified from UCSD and are seeking readmission, you may be eligible for the UC San Diego College Readmission Concurrent Enrollment program. Contact your college academic advising office to discuss your options and next steps.

  • Students who are planning to declare an International Studies – International Business major upon their re-admittance to UCSD should not take any MGT courses that may apply towards their major requirements. The International Studies Program does not accept concurrent enrollment courses towards their major requirements.
  • Students who are planning to declare a Business Psychology major upon their re-admittance to UCSD may use concurrent enrollment courses taken through UCSD Extension to count toward our major requirements.

Students should first register with UC San Diego Concurrent Enrollment. Your Extension Program Advisor will provide the next steps

We do not know your chances of enrolling in a Rady undergrad class. There are many factors, known and unknown, that make it difficult to make a prediction. Please follow the policies and instructions provided for the best chance of enrolling in a Rady undergrad class.

Can I place myself on a waitlist? (UPS Program only)

No, concurrent enrollment students cannot place themselves on waitlists.

I need to enroll in 12 units this quarter. Do I have priority to enroll in a Rady undergrad class?

No. Priority enrollment is not available for Concurrent Enrollment students. Please work with your Extension Program Advisor and review our policies on “Contingencies reviewed for Concurrent Enrollment approvals”.

The Schedule of Classes online shows that there are available seats in a class, can I enroll?

No. The Schedule of Classes online does not accurately represent seat availability for Concurrent Enrollment students. The Schedule of Classes can only provide a general overview of which classes are high in demand. Classes that are full or have a waitlist on Friday of Week 2 are closed to Concurrent Enrollment students. Concurrent Enrollment students will not be eligible to enroll even if seats become available after Friday of week 2. Please work with your Extension Program Advisor and review our policies on “Contingencies reviewed for Concurrent Enrollment approvals”.

An instructor said I can join their class. Can I enroll in the class?

No. Instructors do not manage enrollment in Rady undergraduate classes. An instructor’s approval does not mean enrollment into a class. All enrollment needs to go through Extension and Rady Advising.

All the courses I am permitted to take by my home university are full or not available. What can I do?

We recommend submitting enrollment requests/E-Add cards for courses outside of Rady. Students are also welcome to contact their home university to inquire if they can petition for courses not preapproved by their home university to be applied to their degree. Rady is happy to provide syllabi for any MGT course.

Still have a question? 

Please contact your Extension Program Advisor with any additional questions or clarification.
