How to Declare a Major

Petition to declare your major as soon as you have met qualification requirements and/or reach your declaration deadline quarter, whichever comes first.

Major Declaration consists of four steps:

Step 1- Log into MyUCSC and submit the Petition for Major/Minor via MyUCSC as soon as you have met major qualification requirements and/or reach your declaration deadline quarter, whichever comes first.

Step 2- After submitting the Petition for Major/Minor via MyUCSC it can take up to 10 business days to receive a response. The response will be an email from our office indicating that your petition has been processed and informing you of your next steps. At this point, you will either be given information regarding next steps for Major Declaration OR next steps for the Major Declaration Appeal process.

Step 3- Students who meet their major qualification requirements to declare will be added to a Canvas course. The Canvas course consists of several modules with information about campus and major policies, major requirements, as well as academic planning guidance. Students will be expected to score a 100% on a short quiz, checking for understanding of this information before their major declaration will be processed.

Step 4- The Baskin Engineering Undergraduate Advising office will review which students have completed the Final Major Declaration quiz with 100% and have submitted an academic plan every Wednesday. If you have completed both items, your major declaration will be processed within a week from that Wednesday and any associated major declaration holds will be lifted.

To see if your major has been officially declared: You can go to your MyUCSC Student Center and click on “Student Advising Summary".

On the Career/Program/Plan tab, you will see the field "Declared Major:" and your major will be listed.

If your major declaration has not been entered yet, you will see the field "Proposed Major:" with your proposed major listed.

Detailed instructions for declaring a major in Baskin Engineering are on the BE Undergraduate Advising Declare your Major page.

Letter Grade Policy

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department requires letter grading for all courses applied toward the Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree.

Course Substitution Policy

Please refer to the Substitutions for Courses Taken at UCSC and Course Equivalencies and Substitutions Taken at an Outside Institution sections of the Baskin Engineering page of the catalog for the policy regarding course substitutions.

Study Abroad

Four-Year Institutions and the UC Education Abroad Program (UCEAP)

Students who intend to take a course at a four-year institution or UC Education Abroad, must submit a Course Substitution Petition to the BE Undergraduate Advising Office to have the course reviewed for equivalency. Courses that need to be reviewed must be accompanied by a course description and syllabus.

It is very helpful if students can provide further evidence of course content, such as examples of programming assignments, homework, or examinations.

To guarantee equivalency, departments may sometimes require a grade of B or better. If the course is approved for equivalency, then the student must also receive approval by their major department PRIOR to taking the class. Forms and procedures for approval can be obtained from and submitted to the BE Undergraduate Advising Office.

Honors

Electrical engineering majors are considered for “Honors in the Major” and “Highest Honors in the Major” based on the GPA and on results of undergraduate research and other significant contributions to Baskin Engineering. Students with a GPA of 3.7 or higher receive highest honors. Students with a GPA of 3.3 or higher but less than 3.7, receive honors. A student meeting the GPA requirement for highest honors or honors may not receive honors if a student has been found guilty of academic misconduct. Students with particularly significant accomplishments in undergraduate research or contributions to Baskin Engineering may be considered with a lower GPA. Electrical engineering juniors and seniors may also be eligible for election to the UC Santa Cruz chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society founded in 1885.
