Hey everyone! Is anyone else taking summer classes? It’s been hard to register for classes because we have to get a pre-req waiver sent off and wait for their acceptance into the class. I’m not sure if it’s worth moving down there, paying for housing, and not getting off the waitlist or into any classes. Thoughts or comments would be appreciated! Also if anyone wants to room for the summer I’m looking for a roommate on campus! I’m fun, like to go out but serious about studies!
Accepted off the waitlist today for Political Science
GPA: 3.52
Major Pre-reqs: Done by end of semester
IGETC: Done by end of semester
School: Eleanor Roosevelt
One year transfer.
Denied my offer this week, hopefully more people from the waitlist get a chance 
good luck everyone!
Yeah I denied my offers to Davis and UCSB, wasn’t sure I could do that originally, then my mom said I could and to give my spot to other waitlisted transfers, good luck to them!
ACCEPTED OFF THE WAITLIST!!!
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN 
Major: International Business

I’m a two-year transfer from a CSU. If I can do it then you can too! Good luck y’all!!!
Accepted off of the waitlist yesterday!
Is there a UCSD student app to find roommates, before we submit the housing application in June?
does anyone know when transfer students register for classes?
cuz my friend goes to ucsd, and they already started registering.
@ilovepie12 I think transfer students typically register around mid-August - about a month before fall quarter. They reserve spots in classes specifically for transfer students… but the only issue will be your randomized registration date & time. I had my registration about that time last year and didn’t have issues getting my classes so much.
@thinkweism thankyou. i am a neurobiology major, and i havent done my lower div of physics or ochem. Will it affect me?
@ilovepie12 I’m not 100% sure but it might potentially affect you. I’d advise you to start looking into your recommended two-year plan or searching for it. During the summer, your college-specific advisors (ERC, Revelle, Sixth, etc.) will do your degree audit to determine what college-specific courses you have left to fulfill outside of IGETC (like if you’re ERC, you’re going to still have to take the transfer MMW sequence). This is going to play into your academic plan so I would plan accordingly. I know most transfers (myself included) try to get their college GEs done right away so we can spend the last year cranking out our upper division classes.
If you haven’t fulfilled the lower division requirements, it might potentially affect your ability to register for upper division courses.I am fairly certain that the ochem requirement will prevent you from doing a chunk of your upper div classes; I think the physics might affect a few courses (like BIEB 166 requires lower div physics) but it shouldn’t be as severe as ochem.
My suggestion is always going to be: take all your lower division requirements for your major as soon as possible. Be prepared this summer to submit questions to your online college advisor when you can. They should give you a relatively structured outline of an academic plan or have a suggestion of what classes to take fall quarter.
Another suggestion is to gauge the classes they tell you to take. Just in order for me to graduate on time (two years), I had to take more than the recommended three classes (which is full-time at UCSD) and do four courses for fall, winter, and currently in spring. I have one quarter left with four classes and then I get to spend my last two quarters doing only three in order to graduate in 2019. Make sure you anticipate this. A lot of transfers last year followed the guidance of the advisors to only take three classes in fall, but it will a) impact your ability to graduate and b) might affect your future registration date in the winter and spring.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I’d be happy to help wherever I can to help other transfers adjust!
OH and before I forget, I suggest ALL transfer students to hold on to their syllabuses, classwork, exams, papers, etc. of important courses they want/need for their major!!! I cannot stress this enough for you guys.
Many of us had to petition courses here because they didn’t transfer over as actually being credited to that fulfillment and only carried over as elective credit. 8-> And you’ll need to petition the classes prior to the end of fall quarter or else you’re completely out of luck. It sucked having to go back three years at my CC, argue with my UCSD major counselors, get my old syllabuses mailed to me, and submit a huge stack of classwork to substitute one of my classes as major credit rather than only elective credit.
Be aware that they can and will do this to you. Check your degree audits as soon as they get posted.
@thinkweism Is this for GEs as well or just major pre-reqs, crap, is that really common? I have all my pre-reqs done does that mean I can’t enroll in upper division if they don’t accept my pre-reqs?
@hailey5799 I experienced it with pre-reqs for my major. Essentially all of my art history courses only transferred over as “elective” credit rather than fulfill the prereqs (like I was told they would). What I had to do was find my old syllabuses, classwork, lecture notes, exams, basically anything I did for the class and submit a petition to have those classes substitute for those particular prereq classes at UCSD. My major advisor told me to do it in a particular way to petition the classes so they wouldn’t get denied. I know if I would have said X class was EXACTLY like Y class at UCSD on my petition, they say its much more difficult to get the classes waived/counted for credit. If you’re IGETC certified, I think most of your regular GE stuff is okay. But like I said, keep an eye out for when they do your degree audit and see if they accept/transfer over your major pre-req classes. Without them, yeah, you cannot enroll in a good chunk of upper div classes. So if ochem is one that you already did but they don’t accept… you’re going to have to a) fight to have it subbed in or b) retake it at UCSD and lmao, good luck.
appeal officially denied
