Q: Can I change my major?

A: Any major changes at this point have to be discussed with a counselor once you arrive at UCLA. In most cases the decision to change your major is dependent on a variety of factors, such as whether you have taken the preparation courses needed for that field of study and whether the department you are interested has room available for an additional student. You will have the opportunity to discuss your situation with a counselor at Orientation. You can also contact the department you wish to transfer to directly.

Q: How do I get a parking permit?

A: To get a parking permit, you need to apply with transportation services. Permits are not guaranteed; they are granted on a need-based point system. To find out more about the parking application process, contact UCLA Transportation: (310) 825-9871, transportation@ts.ucla.edu.

Q: I received a D grade … or...
I am thinking of dropping a class….

A: You should notify us right away and let us know your situation. If you send email or letter, please include a list of all coursework that has has been completed, is in progress, or is planned since you submitted your application and clearly indicate how this list differs from what you had indicated earlier. We will review these changes and let you know how they affect your admission: Changes may mean that you must take additional classes in the summer or, in some cases, your offer of admission may be withdrawn. Generally, the sooner you let us know of changes, the more options you will have.
