<p>So on the UCLA IDS homepage (UCLA</a> International Development Studies Program), it quotes:</p>
<p><strong><em>Important Notice: The Undergraduate Council of the Academic Senate has suspended admissions to the IDS major.</em></strong>
Students currently declared as IDS majors, as well as transfer students admitted to IDS for Fall 2009, can disregard this notice, as they will not be affected by the admissions suspension and will have the full complement of courses required for the major and will be able to graduate with an IDS major.
Students who are not currently declared IDS majors but who complete all non-language preparation courses with a minimum prep GPA of 2.00, and foreign language through at least Level 3 by the end of Fall quarter 2009 will be permitted to declare the IDS major. Students unable to complete these preps by the end of that term will not be eligible to declare the IDS major until suspension of admissions is lifted (unknown at this time).
Note that as of Fall 2009, Intl Dv 100A, Intl Dv M100B, and Intl Dv 150 will be restricted to students who are declared IDS majors. Intl Dv 191 will be limited to declared majors who have also completed Intl Dv 100A, Intl Dv M100B, and Intl Dv 150.
If you have any questions or concerns about this notice, please contact the IDS Advising Office.</p>
<p>I'm pretty shocked/upset. )': I was supposed to be done with all my community college classes by Fall semester and now I have to stay longer to fulfill pre-reqs for another major... Confusing. When they say you can still apply if you've completed everything by Fall quarter, do you think that applies to transfer applicants (semester) system as well? HMM.</p>
