We strongly recommend that you enroll in the tutorial that corresponds with your lecture. You can enroll in a tutorial with another professor, but since some instructors teach at different paces and may cover or skip different material, it would be much more beneficial to you to select a tutorial session corresponding with your lecture. This assures that the LARC session content aligns with your lecture. Be careful with your LARC session selection, as there is no refund if you are dissatisfied because of a wrong selection.
The honors series courses move at different paces and may cover or skip different materials, or may cover material in a different order, but it is your choice. There is no refund if you are dissatisfied because the LARC session content does not align with your course.
No, per LARC policy, waitlisted students must wait until they are added automatically by the LARC Enrollment System before attending. Leaders will not allow you to attend their session if you are waitlisted. This is a strictly enforced LARC policy.
Waitlist
It varies. There is no guarantee that you will be added. Waitlisted students will be added in the order that they are waitlisted as seats become available. Alternatively, check the LARC website to see if any additional sessions have been added for your course.
Sponsorship
LARC does not offer any scholarships or waivers for LARC tutorial fees, however, other departments at UCI may provide support. Students may be eligible for LARC scholarships through Middle Earth, Mesa Court, Arroyo Vista, Athletics, U/U, DSC, your major’s advising department or Student Success Initiatives (SSI). Please check with an SSI staff member BEFORE the end of 2nd week of any quarter to see if you qualify. They can be reached at 949-824-6234. The Student Success Initiatives office is located on the second floor of the Student Services II building, across from Zot n’ Go on Ring Road.
