@Scaar25 I remember they emailed me back in January about them asking me to fill them out, and I got reminder emails until I did it. I know a lot of people don’t look at their email that closely though and it could’ve been easy to miss ?
@soloangel if you are going into L&S, you are going in as undeclared so you can go to whatever major you want. However as a transfer student you’re supposed to declare in your first semester, so whatever major you choose, you should be very close or finished with all requirements to declare.
@soloangel I’m pretty sure you can switch to any major within your college (L&S) as long as the major has available space!
@ProfessorPlum168 I applied for a major In the college of L&S and I was wondering if I was to take two courses during the summer at my community college will those count to declare a different major at cal (non impacted)? Since that will be before and completed before my first semester at cal if admitted

@Ohm888 Thanks! Long time lurker on this thread just never made an account until now. You’ve always been so helpful! Appreciate the info!
@mochicheese one out of two. But as I said I was already accepted before I considered this. Did you ever reach out to Patrick to discuss your major idea before you applied? He’s the liaison over there. It would seem to me the dept would want some idea of your plan. What they don’t want is something that can just be done via a double major. They want a multi-discipline novel approach.
@Ohm888 I see! but by the time you apply for media studies did you complete all pre-reqs?
@bendestraw im 19 but my friends say I act like a 40 year old
@katyamzz yes as long as the courses are UC-transferable they should count. Credit for summer courses don’t get onto your record until late September, assuming that you send in your transcript right away. So you probably will want to wait until after September yo declare. Do note that Cal only brings in a max of 70 semester credits, anything more you will get subject credit but not graduation credit.
@ProfessorPlum168 Can you pick and choose which classes go towards the 70 units? I have way more than 70 units from community college already
I wouldn’t need some of these courses I have already have taken at cal (those units) @Ohm888
@mochicheese not sure what you’re asking. I was missing one course for MS that was not offered at my CCC and then when I considered IS in June, I had completed only one of the two.
It is finally today omg I am nervous! Hope everyone gets in 
what time today?
@katyamzz @professorplum168 I had this same confusion at the start. But the units aren’t connected to any course. Consider them virtual units. You need 120 to graduate and they will only give you credit for up to 70 in lower division. So you need to complete at least 50 at the UC (this is not counting AP, which could lower that 50).
All the courses give you subject credit. The units aren’t connected to any single course.
@hillarydufflebag around 5, I assume
@katyamzz now that I think about it, it doesn’t really matter which classes count for the 70. All the classes transferred will still be listed on your transcript and articulated. The only difference is that some of the classes will be marked as 0 credit.
@Ohm888 they give credit for more that 70 for engineering majors right?
