Beginning Fall 2006, admission to the Law & Society major is suspended until further notice.
- Incoming freshmen and transfer students admitted to UCSB for 2006-07 will NOT be eligible to declare the LAWSO pre-major or major.
- No continuing UCSB student will be permitted to declare the LAWSO pre-major or major EXCEPT in the following cases:
- UCSB students who are already declared pre-majors in the Law & Society Program will be permitted to continue in the pre-major and may declare the full major provided they have met the requirements including the minimum GPA requirement.
- UCSB students who have not declared the pre-major in LAWSO but have passed two of the four courses upon which the pre-major GPA is calculated by the end of Summer 2006 AND have petitioned to declare the pre-major by the end of Winter 2007.
What do you need to do?
CURRENT LAWSO pre-majors and majors: If you are a current UCSB student who has formally declared the pre-major or major in LAWSO, no need to worry. This suspension of admissions does not affect you.
DO YOU WANT TO BE A LAWSO STUDENT? If you are not already a pre-major or major in LAWSO, and wish to switch your major or declare LAWSO as your second major (for double majors), for a limited time, you will be able to do so under the following conditions:
- If you have completed at least one course from the pre-major area A (LAWSO 1, LAWSO 2, POLS 12, and one course in statistics selected from PSTAT 5AA-ZZ or PSYCH 5) with a grade of C or higher and complete a petition to declare the pre-major on or before MARCH 24, 2006 (last day of finals for Winter 2006).
- If you do NOT meet this deadline (March 24, 2006) you may still be eligible. In this instance you must complete two of the four courses in the pre-major area A by the end of SUMMER 2006 and petition to declare the pre-major before the end of Winter 2007.
