Declaring Your Major

New students are admitted with a proposed or "undeclared" major, and will later submit a petition to the department to formally declare. Please speak with the advisor for your intended major to discuss the qualification requirements (if any) for the major, as well as the process for becoming formally declared. *First-year students have more time to declare their major – see the first-year onramp for details.

Winter TRANSFER students declare your major!

Qualification requirements for UCSC majors as well as recommended preparation for transfer students are available at the transfer onramp.
