<p>I am an international student from Canada,
I was reading the course requirements, and I noticed that the UC requires 1 year of college prep elective course? </p>

<p>I really have no clue what this is...
I am taking IB diploma.. so can I just list one of the courses as an elective course? would TOK count as an elective course?
or am I not elligible to apply to the UCs if I don't have the elective? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>An elective is a course you take that is not required by your school for graduation, and is usually an art or journalism class. Ask your school counselor for a list of electives. At our school, computers, newspaper, and photo are all electives.</p>
