Once I start at UCSC, how do I apply to study SoE majors?
You take the Foundation Courses for the major you are interested in and then apply to be admitted to the major. Decisions will be based on your GPA in those certain courses. If you withdraw from one of these courses, it will count the same as an F. Passing grades don’t replace prior failed grades. See the official admission policy. Note: The campus requires you to declare a major by the end of your sophomore year. Be sure to finish your Foundation Courses in a timely manner as we will not be able to admit you until they are done.
