Hey, I answered your question via private message before seeing this. I’d definitely call the Academic Advising office like I said. It looks like I may be a bit rusty on the rules, but you want to make absolutely sure you’ll get the credit you need. Don’t take anyone’s word for it from here.

CLAS is the greatest thing that you will ever do if you’re taking math at UCSB. I think they’ve moved to the Student Affairs building, but you can find the exact location on the website (go to ucsb.edu and in the alphabet at the top, choose “C” and find CLAS). Early during the first week, sign up for the CLAS class for your math class. You’ll go for an hour once a week like a normal class (they take attendance, but you don’t get graded or anything). In lecture, the professor will show you general concepts, but the exams will get specific and the problems will be a level or two more difficult and complex than what you saw in lecture. CLAS tutors will go the extra steps and show you how to solve the problems that will be on the exams.

Whichever class you take, sign up for CLAS if at all possible. If you don’t end up needing it, you can drop it, but if you don’t sign up, I don’t think you can join at a later date.
