To Past Transfers, How hard is it to get classes once you transfer at any UC?

<p>I've seen that some people are having trouble getting classes at orientation, and I wanted to know from any previous transfers how much trouble (if any) had they had with getting classes for their major or popular classes (not courses easy professors but popular courses) and can you state your major also and any tips to get classes you wanted? like looking at the schedule to see if anyone drops?</p>

<p>At UCI i got all my classes with out any trouble, But i am a math major, so my classes only get filled a quarter of the way.</p>

<p>I’m a psych major at uci and had no major problem getting into my courses at orientation. The majority of the classes were about 3/4 full when I signed up for them. My orientation date was pretty late too.</p>

<p>had a horrible problem, the budget crisis cut 165 classes a quarter at UCLA,that’s a big deal.</p>

<p>At UCB, they have phase I and phase II registration. You can only sign up for 10.5 units during phase I, so it prevents all of the core/important classes from getting too full. They also seem to block a lot of classes from people that are non-majors, so it’s really hard to register for a class in a major that you haven’t declared. I didn’t have any problems getting my 2 most important classes during phase I. I have yet to see what phase II is like, but I only plan to add one more class, so it won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get exactly what I want.</p>

<p>I transferred to Cal last year and lucked out because my major department pulled some major strings to get me into the classes I needed.</p>

<p>Granted, the classes I needed were lower division prereqs I hadn’t finished, but they were extremly helpful. They pulled students that were already registerd for Organic Chem Lab out so that they could make room for the transfers.</p>

<p>Also helps if you go to one of the first orientation sessions.</p>

<p>Just to add about Cal, if a class is essential to take (that is, it needs to be taken in the fall semester in your junior year), they usually reserve space for transfer students.</p>
