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.

Contact lalsadvising@ucsc.edu with any questions, including questions about transfer courses (approved lower-division LALS transfer courses are listed here) in LALS, and to create an academic plan for the major.
