Quarters of Eligibility

Students must receive a C or higher in AWP 3 or 4B to fulfill ELWR.

Students placed in AWP 3 will have up to three consecutive quarters to complete the ELWR. Each quarter in which students are enrolled in classes, whether they enroll in AWP or not, counts as a quarter of ELWR eligibility. Students who do not successfully complete AWP 3 within the first three quarters will be prohibited from further enrollment at UC San Diego.

Students placed in AWP 4A will have up to five consecutive quarters to complete the ELWR, whether they enroll in AWP courses or not. Students who take AWP 4A and AWP 4B in the first two quarters and do not pass can enroll in AWP 3 for up to three subsequent quarters. 

Students who do not successfully complete 4A within the first three quarters will be prohibited from further enrollment at UC San Diego. Exceptions for one additional quarter may be made for students who were deferred, have taken 4A at least once, and have extenuating circumstances.
