It is helpful to think of chemical bonding as being on a sliding scale, where at one extreme there is pure covalent bonding, and at the other there is pure ionic bonding. Most chemical bonds lie somewhere between those two extremes. When a chemical bond is formed between two elements, the differences in the electronegativity of the atoms determine where on the sliding scale the bond falls.
The freshman class resulting from the pool of 12,375 students admitted could number nearly 3,100, pushing total UCR enrollment to near 13,000 next fall - up from 11,600 this year.
Petitions for transferring credit will be considered only when the work is necessary to fulfill degree requirements. The total number of units which students will be allowed to transfer onto their graduate record at UCR from other institutions cannot exceed one half the number of units needed for the graduate degree. Students may not transfer in any units from a program that has been successfully completed.
