Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major:

Transfer students who want to pursue the Network & Digital Technology major, must have applied and been admitted to UC Santa Cruz as a proposed Network & Digital Technology major.

Transfer students should declare their major in their first quarter at UC Santa Cruz. Instructions for declaring a major in Baskin Engineering are on the Baskin Engineering Undergraduate Advising major declaration page.

Students with Python programming experience who have not completed an articulated course to CSE 20, Beg. Programming in Python, who wish to bypass CSE 20, should take the online CSE 20 testout exam in July or September. See CSE 20 Testout Exam for more information and to register.

Transfer students who intend to pursue this major should do the following prior to the beginning of their first term…

• Students must submit unofficial transcripts to BE advising by July 1. Please use the google form that was sent to you by email requesting transcripts. Do not email or mail these separately to us.
• If you have taken courses that may apply toward your major requirements or toward prerequisites for major courses, and they do not have an agreement listed on ASSIST.ORG, a review of course materials and syllabi by our engineering faculty may be required. This includes courses taken at schools outside of the California Community College system. To prepare for this review, we recommend that you begin gathering course descriptions, syllabi and other materials from any engineering related courses you have completed that do not have ASSIST.org agreements.

...and should take these courses their first term:

Prior to enrollment, you will be invited to meet with a Baskin Engineering advisor who will indicate which courses you will be receiving credit for and also a recommendation of first quarter classes.

If unable to enroll in the courses listed above:

Please email bsoeadvising@ucsc.edu if you are unable to enroll into the courses that BE advising recommends that you take your first quarter.

Special enrollment procedures:

Enroll in classes during your online enrollment appointment time.

Although not required for the major, students in this major might benefit from:

The suggested course load is two major classes per quarter; if students do not have additional general education requirements to satisfy, they can utilize the third course each quarter to pursue other interests.

Other Information:

Be sure to attend the BE Orientation during Fall Welcome Week!

We expect that students declare their major and create a major academic plan within their first quarter at UCSC, and we will be assisting students with this during fall quarter. During the summer the BE advising office will be focusing on providing advising assistance that prepares students for first quarter enrollment.
