<p>That’s awesome! I’m really glad you got it :-)</p>
<p>@2016candles oh for cripe’s sake! :-B </p>
<p>Anybody have the address to the parking structure for orientation? Is parking Lot 3 the same as a Parking Structure 3? I googled, and I got an address of 215 Charles E Young Dr N. But UCLA’s site gives me 19 Charles E Young N. Just wondering which is which? They didn’t give me an address, just states lot 3, but I don’t see a lot 3, only structure 3. </p>
<p>As I recall parking lot 3 is up near Sunset and Hilgard.</p>
<p>Hey everybody.
I have a quick question.
My orientation date is coming up and I am working on multiple schedules.
Regarding the elective, that is a class that is not related to your major, correct?<br>
So, for example, if I am a Psychology major, my elective would be a History class or English class? </p>
<p>Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>@NationalMUSE </p>
<p>You’re right, that would be considered an elective for the purposes of enrolling at your orientation.</p>
<p>It could be, but an elective can also be a course in your major that’s open for you to choose, such as choose one other upper division course in your major. Elective means your choice. You should try for an elective that fulfills a major req, if possible.</p>
<p>For instance, my daughter grabbed one specific major requirement for Comm Studies, one elective free choice that fulfills her major (also a Comm Studies course) and one unrelated elective that is just for fun.</p>
<p>There are major electives that lindyk8 mentioned and general electives. For my major I need 5 major electives which are any courses in my department I choose. General electives are from any major. </p>
<p>For any class outside of your major, be sure to check for necessary prerequisites or courses that may be restricted by major.</p>
<p>@lindyk8, @Cayton, and @2016C
Okay!<br>
So I don’t necessarily have to take an elective that’s outside of my major then, correct?
They could all be within my major?</p>
<p>Sorry you guys, I just want to be clear; for some reason, I recently started freaking out (and by recently I mean today, haha).</p>
<p>@NationalMUSE </p>
<p>You might not be allowed to take three classes in your major your first quarter. Many academic departments forbid incoming transfers from doing that. You’ll probably have to take a nonmajor elective.</p>
<p>Yeah, an elective is usually the end part where the major lists a bunch of classes, some in psychology, some sociology, some Anthro etc and it’ll say pick from among these, or words to that effect. Those are your electives and they can be in your major discipline - psych. You could also take The Beatles in music history, for example. Nothing to do with your major but a fun elective.</p>
<p>I would suggest if you could take them in your major that would be optimal, especially first quarter.</p>
<p>It depends on your major. My major is so impacted that we were only allowed to take one upper division courses in our major. The other courses had to be either lower division major courses (which isn’t helpful) or be general electives outside of our major.</p>
<p>Just curious, what meal plans did you guys get? I got the 19G plan, but I’m wondering if the 19P plan(It allows meal swipes to roll over into the next week and stuff) is better.</p>
<p>19G seems pretty limiting since unused meals are lost by the next week and you can only eat once in the meal period, but it’s less expensive. What is a Bruin to do? Advice? : :-S </p>
<p>Interesting @2016candles comm studies is impacted but she got two CS courses upper division, and could have had a related third in linguistics that fulfilled a lower division CS req- but chose to skip it. </p>
<p>Do you mean no major elective could be taken except one, even if it fulfilled a major requirement in a related discipline (e.g., linguistics fulfilling a comm studies requirement)…</p>
<p>Well anyway OP you know what elective means… 
</p>
<p>@Cayton, @lindyk8
Ahh, I see. Besides the class planner, is there any way of knowing if the class is a major elective?</p>
<p>@2016C
Wow! Really? I did not know that. Lower division? Those don’t count towards your BA, right? That’s crazy.
If you don’t mind me asking, what is your major?
Does UCLA have a page where they list majors that don’t allow at least 2 upper division classes within the major?</p>
<p>Is your major Psychology. Go to the web page for UCLA psych and look at major requirements. It’s all up there - and then peruse the general course list, then of course, the schedule of classes. As I recall there are different paths for psych, so you need to choose one. </p>
<p>What is your major??</p>
<p>@lindyk8
My major is English.
:D</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Ah, ok here is English. You appear to have a lot of options, although there may be prerequisites for some courses. If possible try to get two in from somewhere to knock two classes off the list.</p>
<p>Simply pick from among the range offerings:

Thanks so much!
There’s a couple people here that I’ve noticed to be of great help to others (and indirectly me), and you’re one of them.</p>
<p>Cheers Lindy.
Keep being cool.
:)</p>
<p>@Cayton, @2016C
Thanks to the both of you too.</p>
<p>(I don’t want to list the other people out, in case I miss one and accidentally hurt someone’s feelings, but they know who I’m talking about.)</p>
