I was accepted to UCSC a few days back( haven’t SIRed yet). I applied for a marine biology major. I meet all the prereqs for this major. I’m considering switching majors to physics or earth sciences. Both of them are from a different department than marine bio.

For earth sciences I would be lacking a one course in geology and 3rd class in calc. based physics (both required prereq for major). For Physics I would be missing 3rd class in calc. based physics.

Would I be allowed to take these classes on Fall 2015 at UCSC and change majors if I complete them? From what got from their website, both these majors aren’t selective. Has any UCSC transfer changed majors? If so, what is the process like?
