<p>Hmm, good.</p>
<p>The class you took might’ve been titled “Ancient Near East” or something…was it a history class concerning the regions of China, Japan, Korea, etc?? Sounds like it.</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse HAHAHAHAHAH, I can’t believe that a social science class was that hard. I thought you were taking a philosophy class. How do you opt of out orientation? Through MyUCLA, right?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how I can change my major without going to orientation?</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>In the fall quarter, you can probably go get a petition or something from the department under which the major you want to transfer to and have it signed by the chair of the department that offers your major…or vice-versa…I don’t know the details, but that or something like that is how it probably works.</p>
<p>You should look up change-of-major policies online and see how it can be done.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>I called the new student orientation number. As for switching majors, just head over to the department you want to switch to in the Fall and speak to their student advisor.</p>
<p>Would anyone happen to be knowledgeable with FAFSA? I am listed for off-campus housing aid on my current provisional letter but I plan to live on campus. Wouldn’t I be able to receive more financial aid? Been trying to call the fafsa department at UCLA but they are always busy and send me a notice to call again in a few minutes…</p>
<p>Also the second housing payment (due july 1) is still for the housing during the fall quarter (not taking summer)? Thanks for any information</p>
<p>I can’t believe I was jumping for joy the day I got admitted to UCLA.</p>

To change your housing option, just login to your account on the fafsa website. There will be an option to edit you current form. Just find the section where you add/ edit school choices. You can change your housing option there.</p>
<p>My admissions contract says nothing about sending in the IGETC certification. It only tells me to submit my official transcripts. I did order the IGETC certification along with my transcripts because I saw everyone else talking about it on here, but do I need to turn it in if it isn’t stated in my contract?</p>
<p>Yes Luke or you may not get credit for the lower division requirements.</p>
<p>@Burntcorpse i was planning on taking an ancient near east class since it sounded fun</p>
<p>But now 
ill look for other options! </p>
<p>@sonic23 </p>
<p>Use Bruinwalk, if you haven’t heard of it already, to see reviews of various UCLA professors. I sure will.</p>
<p>@Cayton i have been but there are a bunch of professors that arent on there, kinda sucks</p>
<p>lol dang</p>
<p>Good luck with that.</p>
<p>are you guys going to be doing a double major, minor or just take random electives?</p>
<p>im a history major and have a lot of room for extra classes I’m trying to figure out if I should minor in something or just take random electives i find interesting or go for a double major if possible. </p>
<p>I’ve had people tell me a minor is useless than again they have also told me a history degree is useless and i didn’t listen to that lol</p>
<p>@Sonic23 In the fall, they are going to bring back the political science minor, so if you are interested in that, could always major in that. </p>
<p>History degrees aren’t useless, @sonic23.</p>
<p>But you should explore any other fields you’re interested in and see if a minor is right for you. I’d minor in history, but UCLA’s history department oddly doesn’t offer a minor. Only the major.</p>
<p>@Cayton If you are interested in history, you can just take a series of classes that you are interested. You wont get credit for a minor, but that is ok. You don’t have to minor in history to take history classes. </p>
<p>@Collegedropout1 no way! I almost majored in political science! That would be a great minor, ill look into it </p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>True, but I’d like the organization that minors offer. Maybe I’m being irrational, lol</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 has that been confirmed already? </p>
