Students are admitted to UC Santa Cruz with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major.

Junior transfer students must be formally declared by the deadline in their second quarter of enrollment.

Review Major Qualification Requirements in the General Catalog. 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.
