Getting Started in Language Studies: Fall 2024 Transfers
🔙
Students are admitted to UC Santa Cruz with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major, although transfer students' records are screened for preparation for many majors at the time of admission. Junior transfer students must be formally declared by the deadline in their second quarter of enrollment.

Other Information: |
Please contact the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics at languages@ucsc.edu if you have questions about placement. Many language placement exams take place once a year, before classes start in September. It is crucial that transfer students start foreign language study as soon as possible. Students pursuing the concentration in Japanese or Chinese should place into Level 4 (Level 5 for students entering in the winter term) or higher when they enter UCSC, if they wish to complete the major in two years. Students in other languages may be able to complete the major in two years if they have completed general education requirements. Transfer students admitted to UC Santa Cruz for the winter term who do not place into Level 2 or higher in a language placement test when they enter UCSC may not be able to complete the major in a timely manner. |
