<p>I am an out of state student who decided to apply to UC at the beginning of this school year. Because of this, I was unaware of UC's Visual and Performing Arts requirement. My schedule has been so full that I have not been able to take a course that is defined as a visual/performing art by UC</p>

<p>My first instinct was to count my design for my school newspaper as a visual art. However, I then read on the UC site that unacceptable courses include craft courses, mechanical drafting, web page development, yearbook, and photography offered as photojournalism (i.e., as a component of yearbook or school newspaper publication).</p>

<p>I am unsure what to do now. Should I just count my design as the art and then explain my situation on the personal statement part 3?</p>

<p>Would UC not consider my application because of this?</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. And again, I am an out-of-state student... so take it easy on me : )</p>

<p>THANKS</p>

<p>Take something like Art History at a CC, that should get you through as long as you pass.</p>

<p>Would I be able to take a class like art history this coming summer? Or would it have to be this school year?</p>

<p>i posted my question on a couple of the discussion boards of other UC schools and it looks like most people are suggesting i take a college class to fufill the requirement.</p>

<p>I guess my question now is: Can i take this class this upcoming summer or does it have to be this school year?</p>
