Skip to main content. Search form Search. Degree Requirements UCSB's degree requirements fall into four main categories and are described, in brief, below: 1. General Education Course Lists The lists below indicate how courses might overlap to fulfill more than one requirement. Major Requirements For information about Major Requirements, please consult the General Catalog , or contact the hosting department for advising. I took a course that I feel should count for a GE requirement, but it does not appear on the list of approved courses.

Can I petition for GE credit? I have taken a course that appears in the lists for two different general subject areas. Will I get credit for completing both areas? Can a course count for my major and also satisfy general education? If I get lower than a C in a course, do I have to repeat it? However in the following four circumstances you must repeat a course: You must repeat Writing 1 until you earn a grade of C or better to satisfy the Entry Level Writing Requirement.

You must repeat a course that you have failed if it is specifically required for graduation. You must repeat any course in which your grade does not meet the minimum requirement in your major. You must repeat a course if your grade is not high enough to fulfill the prerequisite for another course that you wish to take. Students need to check the waitlist notes on GOLD for information on how that particular waitlist priority is set.

If students do not have a spot by the start of the quarter, then they should crash the lecture and sections to keep up with the material in case they are added to the class by the waitlist. If spots become available in a course, the system will automatically add students from the waitlists.

The students who are added to the course will be notified if this happens. If a student has not been added automatically by the start of the quarter they should follow the crashlist directions.

A: Students need to check the waitlist notes on GOLD for information on how that particular waitlist priority is set. A: Students can check their waitlist status on GOLD where it will show your waitlist position for every discussion section you have selected. The department recommends students be as flexible as possible with the discussion sections students select on their waitlist to increase the possibility in getting into the course.

If students do not have a spot by the start of the quarter, then they should crash the lecture and sections by adding their name and PERM to the crashlist for approval code consideration. There are a limited number of approval codes distributed at the start of the quarter after evaluation of the crashlist, waitlist, and spots available.

Specific dates for the crashlist review can be found on the waitlist notes on GOLD. A: Students that are unable to enroll in a course will need to take that course in the next quarter it is offered.

A: No. When students are registering on GOLD they need to be careful since add codes are not given for students who accidentally drop a course. Since waitlists are automatic the available spot created by the drop will go automatically to the next student on the waitlist.

Students will need to follow the waitlist instructions to try and add the course again, and follow the crashing procedure if they are not back in the class by the start of the quarter. Students can add or modify their waitlist preferences without dropping a course.

This will allow you to remain in the current lecture, but switch to a new section with openings. You should not drop the course to switch sections. If there is not room in an alternative section time, but you would like to try and attend another section, then you should complete the following steps:. You will need to contact the TA of the section you are officially enrolled in to inform them that you are trying to attend a different section. Contact the TA of the section you would like to unofficially attend.

The TA of this section can decide if they will permit your unofficial attendance or not, and approval is not guaranteed. Please be aware that if there are multiple lectures of the same course offered in the same quarter, you may only enroll and attend a discussion section attached to that specific lecture. Students are not permitted to switch to or attend a section attached to a lecture time they are not officially enrolled in.

Students trying to attend a different lecture time for a course with multiple offerings will need to drop the lecture they cannot attend, and then waitlist for the lecture they would like to attend and follow the crashing procedures. Waitlisting and crashing is the only way to change lectures. Please note we cannot guarantee waitlisted students will get into the lecture.

You run the risk of not getting the course you need if you decide to try and change lecture times. A: There is a form called the Degree Requirements Petition This form is usually required for the following requests:. It is recommended that students speak with an advisor in the College Advising Office about second repeat petitions.

It is recommended that the student check with the undergraduate advisor about their petition. Then at the start of the quarter the student must complete the Undergraduate Petition to take a Graduate level course and have this signed by the instructor. Students are welcome to come to the PSTAT department office if they have questions about the petition process, or need further guidance. You must attend one of these workshops if you would like to change your major.

If the course is full, you may add yourself to the waitlist during pass 3. Most students who live in another state are considered "non-California resident" students, and will incur higher University fees. The amount of loans in a non-California resident's Financial Aid package will increase to cover their increased costs.

However, under AB legislation, students enrolled or in the process of enrolling at a University of California campus after January 1, , who attended a high school in California for three or more years, and who graduated from a California high school or attained the equivalent , may qualify for an exemption from the nonresident tuition.

Undergraduate, graduate, and professional students are eligible to apply for this exemption. For more information, visit the Registrar's website.
