Purpose: To apply transfer courses to UCLA requirements:

• American History and Institutions
• L&S Diversity
• Writing II
• Quantitative Reasoning
• School / College Foreign Language
• Foundations of Arts & Humanities, Society & Culture, and Scientific Inquiry

If you are a new student in the coming Fall quarter, please note that petitions cannot be considered until you have attended a New Student Session offered by New Student Academic Programs.

Petitions can be submitted for classes previously taken or for classes you plan to take in the future.

Attach: These requests require a digital copy of the course syllabus from the term the course is taken.  If the syllabus is not available, the committee may also accept a syllabus for the course from another term, the course description taken from the General Catalog, the course reading list, and/or the course learning objectives.  Please be sure you have electronic copies (e.g. PDF or Word documents) to submit with your request.

Notes:

• You will need to indicate exactly which requirement you wish to satisfy. For more information about the different GE areas, please see https://registrar.ucla.edu/academics/ge-requirement  for descriptions of each area.
• This form is to petition courses taken elsewhere for GE credit. You cannot petition UCLA courses that are not on the already approved list for the College of Letters & Sciences, and such petitions will be automatically denied.
• This petition is for the American History and Institutions, L&S Diversity, Writing II, Quantitative Reasoning, School/College Foreign Language, and Foundations of Arts & Humanities, Society & Culture, and Scientific Inquiry requirements only, and cannot be used for other requirements.
• Students wishing to satisfy major or minor requirements with transfer course credit should consult their respective departments.  Students wishing to satisfy the Entry Level Writing or Writing I requirements should consult the Writing Programs Office.
• Students who are not in the College of Letters & Science should consult with their own School for procedures on petitioning requirements.
• Documents should be submitted in PDF or Word format.  We may not be able to evaluate requests if we are unable to view certain formats (e.g., Pages).
