@luckyname, You can hand deliver them. Just make sure it’s sealed. After last year’s debacle, I recommend it. 
I know @anikom15, in this day and age, electronic should be the norm.
@lindyk8 but the website says to mail them? Doesn’t have the option to hand deliver?
@lindyk8 Where did you learn that they can be hand delivered? Are you sure? I never heard anything about that last year, and that definitely would have been helpful.
Also, if you are supposed to send two rounds of transcripts, that would be a change from last year because we were told to only send one. And it takes them forever to process.
Just reporting back (in case this might benefit anyone), but I did find a way to get a parking permit for medical reasons. You have to go through the Office for Students with Disabilities to get the permit, not through Transportation.
@music1990 you’ve always been able to hand-deliver as long as they’re in a sealed envelope.
I just found two in a quick search - UCLA ECON and UCSC but it’s always been an option as far as I know:

Can anyone give me insight into pursuing a double major? I got in as a philosophy major (all prereqs done) and am trying to double major in English or American Literature and Culture. English is impacted so I’m anticipating running into some difficulties there. I need two prereqs to be qualified for Am Lit/English and will be able to declare it by the end of Spring '15. Does that sound doable? I would appreciate any commentary. Thanks.
Bruin, I’m also an English major. You need to email or call an advisor in the English department and tell them what classes you’re taking. Be sure to give them at least a few from the assist major prereq site, you’re going to need it. They should walk you through the needs from there. They are real receptive and helpful over there, but you really need to call them discuss the option.
I think it will be nearly impossible with English, but amer lit seems quite doable.
It’s not impossible with English. I’m in the process of doing it, from Am. Lit. Just call the department, they’ll walk you through it.
IF you have a good amount on the prereqs completed.
He’s talking about a double major fullload.
I understand, but I think the concept is the same. You still need X amount of prereqs for them to consider you as a major candidate. I’m just saying, it’s not “nearly impossible”. They didn’t care as much about what major I was currently in which suggests I could have been coming from anywhere. They cared about what prereqs I satisfied, and my GPA.
Certainly he might be able to, but switching into a selective major from the same dept has always been easy. He’s outside the dept and wants a double.
Certainly, anything is possible, but OP also appears equally happy with amer lit which is definitely a shoe-in. That’s all I was saying. Of course, try. No one told him not to. I was just voicing my opinion.
I can agree with that. 
lol I just realized when I read your posts @fullload, I hear Jimmy McGill’s voice speaking the words . . . 8-}
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.
One tidbit that may shed more light on the situation: the prereqs I need going into the Fall are two foreign literature in translation classes (Plato’s earlier dialogues and Nietzsche’s Critique of Western Society) and English 10A. The English class I am in now covers 10B and 10C. I will have two semesters of French done. Is that well enough to give an advisor a call while expecting a positive result?
If nothing else, as lindyk8 suggested, does Am Lit seem one hundred percent attainable?
Also, what opportunities do you guys feel are most lost in majoring in Am Lit and not English? I really want to take a couple classes in critical theory, but from what I’ve seen that will be doable.
There’s virtually no difference between those two majors, outside of impaction and the gpa needed to get into it. Therefore, am lit is your best bet and I’d ask to major in that one if you you’re not being selective. As for prospects in the job market, from the research I gathered a while back, virtually the same again. If you look through all the classes needed to graduate, they are almost identical.
I’ve always thought it was weird they created the two when they are so similar. Granted you’ll take a handful of literature classes you might not take in English, but it’s really all the same. Employers looking for English majors will not consider you different as an am lit. major, from the research I explored. In fact, those that I spoke to said they just put, “English-American Literature” on their resumes, which is just an elaboration since it’s the same department.
As for your prereqs issue. Two semesters of French and two semesters of lit in translation will satisfy that area of assist, but I do not personally think it will be enough to get into English, or am lit. You really need at least 2 of 10a,b,c and eng. 3, and probably 4w to be considered.
Okay. This is all so helpful. You mentioned “eng. 3” and “4w,” what prereqs are you referring to?
Oh, I see on assist what you are referring to, I think. I have those done too! and did well in them (both were honors, if that helps anything). I just need 10A and two foreign lit in translation classes.
Then you should be all good. Just call them and ask. Missing those two translation courses might be an issue, I dont know.
@bruinla is Engl 10A a pre-req for B and C? Not sure how that works, but if it is what does UCLA do if they are out of sequence?
Re resumes, this is just my own personal feeling and no one else may think this, but I agree, both majors are equally fine because no one’s gonna parse the terminology. Amer lit reads “English” to companies. Having said that if I saw American Lit and Culture, I might give it the slight nod over English because of the word culture, which implies a study in how our society works and thinks. The American lit part brings communication skills, while the culture brings another dimension. That’s a component that could be very beneficial to a company. But then motivation and cultural norms is always a big plus in my book. No one else may think that way.
