I have to take six upper division classes to start this fall?

I’m really confused. This is the letter I got from my Global Studies advisor:

" You will need to take both Global 1 and 2 at UCSB. Most of the transfer students are taking them both together in the fall. I will have approval codes for you to add those courses once we meet later in Sept.

You could look for other classes to take but it’s hard because many classes are full or are blocked for other majors or with pre-requisites.

If you can find ANY upper division class (numbered 100-200) at UCSB, that would help you graduate. You will need at least six upper division classes that are not for your major so you can start this fall…

See if you can register for ANYTHING when you get access early in Sept. "

Now what is she saying? I can’t take classes for my major until these six non-major classes are done? Or this fall I can’t take any major classes? I don’t really understand. I’m definitely taking Global 1 and 2 for fall, but Isn’t 6 classes a lot of credits? That’s 24 credits. Could someone please help me understand this letter?
