Click here to apply. Complete the application prior to the first day of instruction. Applications submitted on the first day of instruction through the second Friday of instruction are considered late. Applications are not accepted after the second Friday of instruction in a given term.
The associated application fee will be applied to your MyBill once you are officially enrolled in a class(s). A Late Application Fee will be charged for applications submitted beginning the first day of UC Merced instruction through the second Friday of instruction.
You will receive email notification of your application’s approval or denial.
If your application is approved, please email the course instructor. Let the instructor know you are an Open University (Concurrent Enrollment) student. The instructor may ask you to wait until they can determine if there will be space in the course after degree-seeking students have enrolled. You may request permission from the instructor to access the course webpage, but granting access early is the decision of the instructor. Once you have received permission from the instructor to enroll, please forward that email to pace@ucmerced.edu, with the subject line “Open University Student Enrollment,” and include your full name and UC Merced ID number if you have one.
Open University (Concurrent Enrollment) students can officially enroll in courses beginning the second week of instruction but must enroll no later than the end of the third week of instruction.
Full payment of all fees on MyBill must be made within 24 hours of enrollment in the course(s). Registration is only complete upon payment of all fees. Students who have not paid fees within 24 hours are subject to drop for non-payment.
Once enrolled, withdrawals must be requested by email to pace@ucmerced.eduwith the subject line "Open University Request for Withdrawal". Refunds are not available for Open University/Concurrent Enrollment courses.
