So I have been looking at the classes I need to take and noticed that a lot of them are full already. So are we transfer students out of luck in getting the classes we need??
They have special spots open for Transfer students.
In how many classes do they have special spots open for transfers? For all classes or only some of them.
I heard from a transfer student last year that they do that. I’m not sure how many though, but I’m pretty sure there’s spots open because why would they make all of the incomcing students class registration date a month before class starts?
Hi fall 2017 transfer! Looking for something so don’t mind me but I thought I would answer your question: they save spots in all classes for transfers and freshman. Once freshman and transfers have all signed up, then waitlists and open spots become open for every enrolled student. Hope that helped!
Quick question for any Computer Science majors, did anyone get accepted with a missing pre req? I’m planning on applying for next year but wont have Calc 3 done so wanted to see if anyone did get in without it.
I am transferring in the Fall as a Visual Arts Media major. Any advice for first quarter classes?
@RSC394 Go on webreg, make sure ur college reqs (one of 6 colleges u were admitted into) are covered ur first year, start planning out ur course, you have to do ur own research, that’s what I did, look at major upper division reqs u need to complete, and generally when they’re offered, see if they have any tentative schedules of course offerings for winter and spring. Also make sure to cover ur DEI req, and be aware of the first pass, second pass, so more popular classes will fill in first pass, so don’t take all popular classes. Mostly you have to do ur research, should take 2-3 hours, and plan out your two year plan, take whatever amount of units ur comfortable with, first pass you can sign up for up to 11.5 units I believe, second pass up to 19.5 and first day of classes up to 22 units, to exceed I think you need departmental permission.
Anyone taking summer courses to get a head start? or any advice regarding summer sessions?
@RSC394 See if you can look up the two year transfer outline/academic plan for the Vis Arts Media major. I emailed the vis department when I first transferred and they gave me a good outline of what to take my first quarter at SD (I’m in Art History, however). Not sure what’s offered for you but the likelihood is that you’ll have to take some visual art survey classes (like Vis 1 and 70N) and two other classes. My recommendation is to message the department advisor when your degree audit is done so you can see what pre-reqs (stuff you have to fulfill for the specific college you got into - i.e. Muir, Revelle, ERC, etc.) and what department specific classes you have to take.
Vis 1/2/3 is a requirement for all visual arts majors so even if you took a basic drawing/anatomy drawing class… you’ll have to fulfill that at UCSD if your class did not come with a “history”/lecture component attached to the studio class.

Listed are requirements for the Media majors admitted after Fall 2016. Good luck!!
P.S. If you need teacher recommendations, let me know. I haven’t had too many media classes but for surveys (like art history, which is a requirement for all visual art majors, haha!!), I can always help.
What do you want to know about summer sessions? They’re veery fast paced and it’s best not to take more than two classes during the summer because they are time consuming and twice as quick as the regular quarter. Lol as I always say, good luck with that.
