Evaluations are used at UCSC in academic advising, reviewing scholarship applications, and awarding College Honors and Honors in the major. Evaluations are a permanent part of your academic record. All students may request transcripts either with or without evaluations. An evaluation for your senior comprehensive examination or senior thesis also becomes part of your academic record.

Grades

At the end of each course, you will receive one of the following grade notations:

The grades of A and B may be modified by a plus (+) or a minus (-). The grade of C may be modified by a plus only. You will not receive credit for graduation in any course in which you receive a final grade of F or NP. The grades I and IP are temporary grades used in special circumstances. The final notation W indicates that you officially withdrew from the course before completing it.

Grade Points

Grade points are assigned to a letter grade as follows:

4.0 = A+
4.0 = A
3.7 = A-
3.3 = B+
3.0 = B
2.7 = B-
2.3 = C+
2.0 = C
1.0 = D
0.0 = F

The grades P and NP are not included in calculating your GPA and so are not assigned grade points. Courses in which the interim grades I and IP are assigned earn no grade points or credit until the interim grade is replaced by a final letter grade.

Grade-Point Average (GPA)

Undergraduates entering UCSC in fall 2001 and thereafter have a UCSC cumulative grade-point average calculated from UCSC courses, courses taken through the Education Abroad Program, and courses taken at another UC campus as part of the Intercampus Visitor Program. (Undergraduates who entered UCSC for the first time in or after fall 1997 and before fall 2001 have a UCSC cumulative grade-point average only if they have elected letter grades in at least two-thirds of the cumulative credits attempted. Undergraduates who entered UCSC prior to fall 1997 cannot have an official UCSC grade-point average calculated.)

A grade-point average is determined by dividing the number of grade points earned by the number of units attempted for a letter grade. In calculating your UCSC GPA, the interim grades IP and I are not included in the computation because you do not earn those credits until they are replaced with a final grade. (However, when checking for whether you have satisfied the 2.00 UC GPA requirement for graduation [go to section on Graduation Requirements], these interim grades are included and counted as courses with grade F [or NP]).

If you repeat a course in which you have received a D or F, only the last grade recorded shall be computed in your GPA for the first 15 credits of repeated work. After the 15 credit maximum is reached, the GPA will be based on all grades assigned and total credits attempted.

Pass/No Pass Option

Students in good academic standing may request to take specific courses on a Pass/No Pass basis. Students receive a P (Pass) for work that is performed at C level or better. Work performed at below a C level receives a notation of NP on the student’s transcript, and no academic credit is awarded for the course. Requests for Pass/No Pass grading must be submitted and confirmed by the Grade Option deadline printed in the Academic and Administrative Calendar (reg.ucsc.edu/calendar). If you request P/NP grading in a course and you are later placed on academic probation, your P/NP grading request will be canceled.

Incomplete

The notation I may be assigned when your work for a course is of passing quality but for which some specific required work has not been completed. You must make arrangements with the instructor before the end of the course in order to receive an Incomplete. To remove the Incomplete, you must submit the remaining course work and file a petition by the deadline printed in the Academic and Administrative Calendar (generally the end of the following quarter). If you do not meet the deadline, the Incomplete lapses to a No Pass or an F, depending on the grading option selected at the beginning of the quarter.

The notation IP (In Progress) is reserved for a single course extending over two or three terms of an academic year. The grade for such a course may be awarded at the end of the course and shall then be recorded as applying to each of the terms of the course. A student satisfactorily completing only one or two terms of a course extending over two or three terms of an academic year will be given grades for those terms. The grade option selected in the first quarter of the multiple-term sequence applies to all quarters of the sequence.

Grade changes (except for I and IP, as above) are allowed only to correct clerical or calculation errors by the instructor and must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the instructor in charge of the course within one year from the close of the quarter for which the original grade was submitted.

Academic Standing and Minimum Progress

Full-time undergraduate students at UCSC are expected to enroll in and pass (with a grade of A, B, C, or Pass) an average of 15 credits per quarter, completing the 180 credits necessary for graduation in four years. (This expectation is adjusted for students who are officially part-time students.) Your college will periodically check to ensure that you are making normal progress toward completion of your degree and will determine your academic standing at the end of each term. Extensions of enrollment beyond the equivalent of 12 full-time quarters require the approval of your college.

Academic progress is measured for all students, regardless of whether they have an official UCSC GPA. In checking your academic progress, the college will determine your current progress and your cumulative progress. You are expected to remain above minimum progress level on both measures.

Current progress. You must have passed (with a grade of C or better or Pass) at least 40 credits in your three most recent quarters of attendance at UCSC to be considered to be making satisfactory progress and be in good academic standing. Students who have passed fewer than 30 credits in their three most recent quarters of attendance are below the level of minimum progress.

Cumulative progress. You must earn a minimum number of credits appropriate for your total quarters of attendance at UCSC to be considered to be making satisfactory progress and be in good academic standing. For example, at the end of the sixth full-time quarter of attendance, a student must have earned at least 75 credits (with grades of Pass, C, or better) to be making satisfactory progress. Students who have passed fewer than 65 credits at the end of their sixth full-time quarter are below the level of minimum progress.

If you fall below the level of satisfactory progress on either current or cumulative progress, you are given a warning or placed on probation by your college. If you fall below the level of minimum progress, your enrollment at UCSC may be barred for a specified period or you may be disqualified indefinitely from attending UC.

Note: For students entering UCSC for the first time in fall 2001 or thereafter, official academic standing may be based upon the UCSC grade-point average. Those students are also expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress. For further information about academic standing and progress, see The Navigator (reg.ucsc.edu/navigator).

Repeating Courses

Undergraduates may repeat courses in which they earn a D, F, or No Pass. Courses in which a D or F is earned may not be repeated on a Pass/No Pass basis. Courses in which a grade of No Pass is earned may be repeated on the same basis or for a letter grade. For the first 15 credits of repeated courses, the original grade and corresponding grade points earned are excluded in calculating the GPA, and only the grade and grade points from the repetition are used. After the 15-credit maximum is reached, the GPA will be based on all grades assigned and grade points earned. However, credit is not awarded more than once for the same course. The grade assigned each time the course is taken will be permanently recorded on the official transcript. Repetition of a course more than once requires approval of the student’s college.

Comprehensive Examination and Senior Thesis

A senior exit requirement (e.g., a comprehensive examination, senior thesis, or equivalent body of work) is required in every major. These are evaluated Honors, Pass, or Fail. The full evaluation of a comprehensive examination or senior thesis awarded Pass or Honors becomes part of a student’s official transcript of record. (See the Comprehensive Requirement section for more information)

Academic Integrity

The university is dedicated to the unhindered pursuit of knowledge and its free expression. It is essential that faculty and students pursue their academic work with the utmost integrity. This means that all academic work produced by an individual is the result of the sole effort of that individual and acknowledges the contributions of others explicitly. It is the responsibility of students and faculty to be absolutely clear about what constitutes plagiarism, cheating, or other violations of academic integrity. Violations of academic integrity by students result in both academic sanctions (e.g., failing the course) and disciplinary sanctions (e.g., suspension or dismissal). Consult Appendix G of the campus’s Student Policies and Regulations Handbook (www2.ucsc.edu/judicial/) for more discussion and information.

Honors

Honors at UCSC
There are a variety of opportunities for advanced work at UCSC, ranging from independent studies with a professor, to internships, departmental programs, and programs at the colleges. An extensive list of these opportunities is available online at admissions.ucsc.edu/discover/honors/index.cfm.

Dean’s List
Each quarter, any undergraduate student who earns a 3.8 or higher grade-point average (GPA) and takes a minimum of 12 units of credit for a grade is named to the Dean’s List. The Dean of Undergraduate Education will notify students who qualify for the Dean’s List.

Chancellor’s List
Any undergraduate who meets the qualifications for the Dean’s List for all three quarters of the academic year (fall, winter, and spring) is named to the Chancellor’s List. These students receive special recognition from the Chancellor and the Dean of Undergraduate Education.

College Honors
The faculty of your college may confer College Honors at graduation if they determine that your academic performance is of outstanding quality throughout your undergraduate career. This notation appears on your transcript as well as on your diploma.

Honors in the Major
At graduation, the department sponsoring your major program may confer Honors or Highest Honors in the major. This notation appears on your transcript as well as on your diploma.

Phi Beta Kappa
Phi Beta Kappa—an honorary society founded in 1776—advances scholarship and recognizes excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. The United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa authorized the establishment of a chapter at UCSC in 1985. Each year the chapter elects a few outstanding students to membership.

To be elected to Phi Beta Kappa, you must (a) be majoring in one of the liberal arts or sciences, (b) have demonstrated a knowledge of mathematics and a foreign language “at least minimally appropriate for a liberal education,” (c) be noteworthy for the number and variety of courses you have taken outside your major, and (d) be judged by members of the chapter to be distinguished in cultural interests, scholarly achievements, and excellence of character.

The foreign language requirement may be satisfied by passing three one-quarter courses in a language at UCSC, or the equivalent at another university, or by demonstrating close knowledge of another culture (which may include speaking another language at home). The mathematics requirement may be satisfied by a single course in mathematics or statistics or by a science course that requires mathematics. See your college academic preceptor for details. (Notice of membership in Phi Beta Kappa does not appear on your transcript or diploma.)

Transcripts

Academic records are kept at the Office of the Registrar, which will issue an official transcript only on your written request. It normally takes 10 working days to process a transcript. Transcripts without evaluations are available about two weeks following the end of the quarter. Transcripts that include evaluations for the most recent quarter are not issued until about six weeks after the quarter ends.

Transcripts for courses taken in the summer are available approximately two weeks following the end of each session. Official transcripts, which may include evaluations, are available at the beginning of October.

For information on ordering transcripts, please refer to the following URL: reg.ucsc.edu.

If you have outstanding financial obligations to the university, a hold may be placed on your transcript. The Office of the Registrar does not provide unofficial copies of transcripts.

Transcripts for UCSC Extension courses should be requested from UCSC Extension Records, 1101 Pacific Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Cruz, CA 95060-4536 (831) 427-6600.

Privacy of Records

UCSC students are informed annually of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and its provisions. This act, which the institution follows, was designed to protect the privacy of education records and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students also have the right to file complaints with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the act.

UCSC policy explains in detail the procedures to be used by the institution for compliance with the provisions of the act. Copies of the policy can be found in the Offices of the Registrar and of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. The policy is available in The Navigator, the student handbook. The full text of the University of California policies applying to the Disclosure of Information from Student Records is available online: reg.ucsc.edu/faculty/guidelines.html.

Questions concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act may be referred to the Office of the Registrar, 190 Hahn Student Services Building.

Advising: From Course Selection to Careers

Translating your goals and interests into a coherent academic program requires careful planning. Advising can help you make decisions at the university—selecting courses, choosing a major, deciding on a career, or determining prerequisites for graduate school. UC Santa Cruz offers many forms of academic and career advising tailored to various student needs. In addition, the student handbook called The Navigator and the quarterly Schedule of Classes—both online at reg.ucsc.edu—answer most procedural and administrative questions.

Attending summer orientation is one of the most important steps a new student takes in preparing for the transition to university life. Summer orientation provides the academic advising you need to make informed decisions about classes and majors, and the opportunity to ask important questions regarding financial aid and housing.

In addition to facilitating initial advisement, orientation is designed to provide you a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of UCSC. While at orientation, you will be introduced to continuing students, faculty, and staff who will collectively assist in your academic as well as personal success at the university.

Summer orientation occurs six times over the course of the summer. Separate programs for first-year and transfer students help to better meet the needs of each group. Families play an important role in the academic and personal success of students; UCSC has designed corresponding programs for parents and family members to better support their student’s transition to the university.

Reservation brochures are mailed to new students as soon as they submit their Statement of Intent to Register at UCSC. These brochures provide details on the summer program and allow students to make a reservation. New students who have advising questions over the summer but are unable to attend summer orientation should contact their college office.

Fall Welcome Week, occuring during the first week of fall quarter, is the next step in your orientation and advising process. It provides you with an opportunity to settle into life at UCSC, take advantage of important services, and continue your academic advising.

Questions can be directed to the Office of Campus Orientation Programs at (831)
459-5468, or via e-mail to orientation@ucsc.edu. Web: admissions.ucsc.edu/orientation.

Important information on particular majors may be viewed on individual departmental web sites. The sites will give you contact information and office hours. Advisers provide detailed information regarding requirements for the major and assist you in planning a program of study. The department adviser can also assign you to an appropriate faculty adviser who may serve as a mentor in your field, recommending courses and helping you refine your educational goals.

It is also important to seek departmental advising for assistance in planning your overall academic program. For transfer students and for students in many majors (such as those in the physical and biological sciences, arts, environmental studies, and others) it is necessary to obtain departmental advising prior to or at the start of the first quarter on campus.

For more general academic questions, make an appointment with a college adviser. Each college has specialized staff members, called academic preceptors, who advise students on everything from general education requirements to choosing a major. Copies of your academic records are housed at ysour college, so your academic preceptor is in a good position to look at your program as a whole and ensure that you fulfill college, campus, and university requirements.

For help in assessing career interests and exploring and choosing career options, contact the Career Center. The staff also will assist with resume preparation, interviewing skills, applying for an internship, and job-search strategies. Many students find that participation in internships and field programs gives them a practical basis for making career decisions. The Career Center offers workshops, an online database, and publications on many internship opportunities. The office’s Career Advice Network (CAN) will connect you with UCSC alumni professionals who help students achieve their career goals.

If you plan to go on to graduate school, consult with faculty in your major. Faculty advisers are the best people to ask about the quality of graduate programs in your field of interest. In addition, the Career Center offers advising and workshops on applying to graduate school. A letter-of-reference service enables you to maintain your recommendation letters at the Career Center.

If you intend to pursue graduate study in a field not offered as a major at Santa Cruz, you can prepare for your intended program through one of the campus’s regular majors. You must plan your studies carefully, however, and advising will be especially important. The Career Center library has information that will help prepare you for graduate and professional programs. The following are some fields in which UCSC alumni have pursued graduate study and successful careers:

Architecture
Business
Conservation
Film
Finance
Guidance and counseling
High-tech industry
Human resources
Industrial and labor relations
International relations
Law
Marketing
Museum administration
Public administration
Urban planning

If you plan to pursue a career in medicine or another health-related field (including dentistry, nursing, nutrition, occupational therapy, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacology, physical therapy, public health, and veterinary medicine), contact the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences’ Health Science Career Advising Office at (831) 459-2954. Ethnic-minority students may also be eligible for the MARC/MBRS Programs, described below.

UC Santa Cruz graduates find success in many different career fields, and their superior education is the foundation for this success. The staff at the Career Center will help you link your educational experience to the world of work. The center provides a variety of employment and career-development services to help students obtain rewarding and successful careers.

Students are encouraged to visit the Career Center early during their first year on campus. The first step is to meet with a career adviser to begin developing a focused career plan. Simply sign in at the reception desk for a drop-in advising appointment. Your career adviser will show you how to research and discover the many opportunities that are available to UC Santa Cruz students and graduates. Workshops offered by the Career Center include Selecting an Internship, Resume and Cover Letter Writing, Job-Search Skills, Job-Interviewing Techniques, the Graduate and Professional School Information Workshop, Work Opportunities Abroad, Applying to Law School, and special workshops on specific majors or career fields.

Your college experience is likely to include a part-time job or internship in your area of interest. The Career Center has hundreds of opportunities available. Off-campus and on-campus employment opportunities (both work-study and non-work-study) are posted on the Career Center’s web site. For your convenience, you may apply for on-campus jobs online.

An internship is one of the best ways to gain practical work experience in your area of interest. The Career Center has a database with over 1,000 internship opportunities in a wide variety of career fields. The center’s resource library contains some of the best internship directories available, listing local, national, and international opportunities. While visiting the center, be sure to check out the Professions Training Program (PTP) and the Chancellor’s Undergraduate Internship Program (CUIP). These two unique internship programs are designed to give participants a professionally enriching work experience in the private sector (PTP) or directly on campus (CUIP) in one of the university’s colleges, administrative units, or academic departments.

Another interesting and challenging position is the UC Student Regent, with an annual recruitment process. For information, e-mail cyndi@ucsc.edu or visit the web: www2.ucsc.edu/careers/jobs/regent.html.

The Career Center’s resource library contains material organized in the following manner: Career Exploration, Graduate and Professional Schools, Job Search, Career Fields, Internships, and Employer Information. A computer lab links you to the top career-development sites on the web. However, the most exciting part of the computer lab is the Career Advice Network database. The Career Advice Network (CAN) contains career profiles of over 700 UCSC alumni. The members of the network have volunteered to answer questions and give career advice pertaining to their particular career field. You may contact CAN members to obtain information on educational preparation, job responsibilities, resume preparation, and tips on how to conduct your job search.

UC Santa Cruz students and alumni looking for full-time career opportunities need look no further than MonsterTRAK and NACElink—online sites that list job openings targeted to UCSC graduates. You may connect to MonsterTRAK and NACElink by visiting the Career Center web site. Another way to obtain a career position is to participate in the On-Campus Interview Program. Corporate recruiters visit campus every fall, winter, and spring to interview and hire students. Visit the Career Center web site for a list of participating companies.

The Career Center sponsors several major events every academic year. The Graduate and Professional School Fair brings hundreds of graduate and professional school representatives from the nation’s top universities to campus to share information about their advanced-degree programs. Job fairs, which bring hiring companies to campus, take place several times a year. Students looking for a job or internship will want to come prepared with a great resume. Other events include the Student Employment Recognition Awards Program Ceremony, where outstanding student employees are recognized and rewarded for their hard work and dedication, and the Multicultural Career Conference, which brings students and alumni together for a day to develop mentor relationships and explore career options.

The Career Center—located at the Bay Tree Building, Room 305, in Quarry Plaza—can be reached at (831) 459-4420. Office hours are 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Visit the center’s web site at www2.ucsc.edu/careers/.

Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP)

The Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP) provide a variety of academic and personal support programs designed to promote the retention, academic success, and graduation of California residents who are first-generation college students from low-income and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. EOP programs and services are designed to ensure that students successfully complete their undergraduate education and acquire the skills that will prepare them for future careers and graduate or professional school opportunities.

Academic Support Programs
EOP academic support programs work to enhance student academic achievement and advancement. These support services include the EOP Bridge Program for a select group of entering first-year students, orientation activities for new students, academic advising and personal counseling, time management and study-skills development, peer advising, and community-building activities. EOP also sponsors programs designed to promote graduate and professional school interests and preparation.

Learning Support Services
The Learning Center—located on the second floor of the Academic Resources Center with satellite centers at Oakes, Crown, and Merrill Colleges—provides a number of learning support programs for students. Through the Modified Supplemental Instruction program, peer-guided learning groups are attached to courses that have historically proven to be challenging for students. All students enrolled in these courses are encouraged to participate in the interactive learning groups. Individual and small-group tutoring in all subjects is available and accessible through an online sign-up system. Two-credit courses in academic reading, research, and writing—as well as writing mentors—are offered for incoming transfer students. Three-credit courses providing language development and writing support are available for bilingual students. The Learning Center can also help students organize course-related peer-study groups. Academic skill-building workshops are sponsored by the Coalition for Student Academic Success (CSAS) each quarter on topics such as note taking, time and stress management, exam preparation, academic reading, and research paper and thesis writing.

Inquiries to the Learning Center can be made Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at (831) 459-4333.

For more information about the Educational Opportunity Programs, drop by the Academic Resource Center, call (831) 459-2296, or visit the web site: www2.ucsc.edu/eop.

MARC/MBRS Programs

The Division of Physical and Biological Sciences sponsors two National Institutes of Health grant programs: the Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program and the Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program. Though separately funded, the projects share a similar mandate: to increase the number of well-prepared ethnic-minority students who are admitted to graduate or professional schools in biomedical sciences. The program seeks students from groups that have traditionally been denied equal access to educational opportunities in the science professions.

Continuing students who have successfully completed specific introductory courses in biology, chemistry, and mathematics are invited to apply for the MARC/MBRS Programs, which begin in the summer and introduce students to program faculty, their research, and research techniques. After students successfully complete the summer program, they have the opportunity to work in a faculty lab for the following academic year. Financial compensation is available for laboratory placements and participation in the summer program.

The MARC/MBRS Office also works with other campus offices to help make the most of campus resources and provide practical assistance with the graduate and professional school admission process. In addition, the staff maintains an information file on summer enrichment programs, which can provide you with vital research or clinical experience or help you prepare for the Graduate Record Examination.

The program’s well-equipped student office provides additional academic support and a convenient place for students to meet. The staff encourages students to make use of this study space and assists them in learning to use the office’s personal computers.

For further information, contact the MARC/MBRS Office, 377 Thimann Laboratories, (831) 459-4770, or e-mail jmartinez@biology.ucsc.edu. Web: marcmbrs.ucsc.edu/.

Academic Excellence Program (ACE)

ACE is supported by the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences and has as its goal to increase diversity among students receiving bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and science, by offering discussion sections for selected mathematics and science courses.

The program received the 1999 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. This award, presented by the White House and administered by the National Science Foundation, is given to individuals or programs that have demonstrated outstanding and sustained mentoring efforts for students underrepresented in science, mathematics, and engineering.

Helping students excel in gateway mathematics and science courses is ACE’s focus. The ACE sections provide a structured, workshop setting where students learn by teaching each other. This collaborative method reinforces critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Enrollment in ACE is limited. A professional section leader with an academic background in the subject facilitates these workshops. In addition, an undergraduate coleader who has excelled in the course assists the section leader. This brings the student to teacher ratio to 10:1. Students also meet with a peer mentor, who helps them strengthen their study techniques. Other opportunities available through ACE include office hours, study groups, and career counseling.

Applications are accepted quarterly for the upcoming term. For more information, visit the web site: ace.ucsc.edu.

Services for Transfer and Re-Entry Students (STARS)

Services for Transfer and Re-Entry Students (STARS) offers a broad range of personal and academic support services for all transfer and re-entry students (undergraduates 25 years and older, graduate students 29 years and older), students who are parents regardless of age, and military veterans. These services include admissions information; orientations for new students; academic seminars and study-skills workshops; tutorial services; informal academic advising; drop-in assistance; social, recreational, and cultural programs; scholarships; newsletters; and study centers with computer workstations. STARS also acts as a clearinghouse for information about campus and community resources for UCSC’s large transfer and re-entry student populations.

STARS oversees two resource centers housed in different locations on campus. All current and prospective re-entry and transfer students are invited to visit.

Part-Time Program

If you are unable to attend the university full-time because of family obligations, employment responsibilities, or health problems, you may qualify for the Part-Time Program. This program enables students to pursue a bachelor’s degree part-time in any major offered at UC Santa Cruz. To participate, undergraduate students must file a Part-Time Program application by the appropriate deadline. Full-time students normally take three 5-credit courses per quarter; part-time students may enroll in a maximum of 10 credits.

Students approved for enrollment on a part-time basis pay the same fees as full-time students but pay only one-half of the educational fee. Part-time nonresidents pay one-half of nonresident tuition. Financial aid awards may be affected by enrolling part-time. Students who use the part-time fee reduction may not also use the UC employee reduction.

Applications for undergraduates are available from the Office of the Registrar, 190 Hahn Student Services Building. For more information, call (831) 459-4412 or e-mail registrar@ucsc.edu. Web: reg.ucsc.edu/students/part-time.html.

Field and Exchange Programs

UCDC Program at the UC Washington Center

The UCDC Program at the UC Washington Center in Washington, D.C., supervises and supports students who pursue internships and academic study in the nation’s capital. The program is open through a competitive application process to students in all majors who will have upper-division status by the quarter in which they participate. (Physical and biological sciences and engineering majors are eligible to participate in their sophomore year with department approval.) Students enroll for fall, winter, or spring quarter, earn 12–15 course credits, and continue to be registered as full-time students. (In addition, see the section on Residence) Courses are taught by faculty from the Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz UC programs in Washington and by visiting faculty from the Washington area. Applicant selection is based on academic record, a written statement, letters of recommendation, and in some cases a personal interview.

Financial-aid eligibility is maintained, and students who are eligible for financial aid may qualify for a President’s Washington Scholarship to help cover supplemental costs.

Students live in the UC Washington Center with students from all the participating UC campuses. This provides a social and intellectual community throughout the quarter.

Interested students with strong academic records are encouraged to apply. For further information, contact the UCDC coordinator, 5 Merrill College, (831) 459-2855.

The UCDC Program also offers a unique opportunity for UCSC faculty members and graduate students to teach and pursue research in the Washington, D.C., area. Faculty members and graduate students in residence advise students regarding their internships and course work. Along with faculty from the other UC programs, UCSC faculty offer upper-division courses in diverse academic fields. To inquire about participation in UCDC, contact the director, (831) 459-2134. Information is available through the web: zzyx.ucsc.edu/Pol/ucdc.

University of California Center in Sacramento

Students must be in good standing with UCSC and must have a GPA of 3.0 or above. Junior standing is required before entering the program. Scholar interns participating in the UCCS program will enroll in 12 to 16 credits comprising an internship plus the Sacramento Seminar course and an optional elective course. All courses are taught at the UC Sacramento Center just one block from the Capitol.

For information on the program, please contact the UC Santa Cruz Career Center Internship Program, 305 Bay Tree Bldg., Santa Cruz, CA 95064, (831) 459-2184 (voice); (831) 459-3860 (fax); e-mail intern@ucsc.edu.

Intercampus Visitor Program

UCSC students may take advantage of educational opportunities at other campuses of the University of California through the Intercampus Visitor Program. This program enables you to take courses not available at Santa Cruz, to participate in special programs, or to study with distinguished faculty at other campuses.

To qualify for participation in this program, you must be in good standing after completing at least three quarters in residence at Santa Cruz. Each host campus establishes its own criteria for accepting students from other campuses as visitors. You must also have the approval of your college. Consult with your department about how courses taken at the host campus may apply to your major requirements.

Applications are available at the Office of the Registrar. The application form contains a great deal of useful information about the program and how and when to file; please read it carefully. A nonrefundable application fee of $40 is due when the application is filed. For further information, contact the special programs assistant in the Office of the Registrar, 190 Hahn Student Services Building, (831) 459-3459, or by e-mail at registrar@ucsc.edu.

Domestic Exchange Programs

UCSC has exchange programs with the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and the University of New Mexico (UNM). UNH is located near the New Hampshire seacoast in the picturesque colonial town of Durham, a little more than an hour from Boston, Massachusetts. UNM is located in Albuquerque, a city of approximately half a million population, situated on the banks of the Rio Grande. Both schools give students the opportunity for an educational experience in an entirely different environment.

While enrolled in the exchange program, students maintain their status at UCSC, and they are expected to return to complete their studies following enrollment at UNH or UNM. Both universities are on the semester system, so students usually participate in the exchange program for the entire academic year. But the option exists for students to participate during fall quarter only, or during winter and spring quarters.

Participants are selected from among students who are in good academic standing. Selection for 2005–06 will take place during winter quarter 2005. Selection for 2006–07 will take place during winter quarter 2006. Each department of study determines the applicability of UNH and UNM courses toward requirements for the major. Letter grades earned while at UNH and UNM will not be calculated into the UCSC GPA or the UC GPA. Further information is available from the exchange program coordinator in the Office of the Registrar, (831) 459-4412. Web: reg.ucsc.edu/students/exchange.html.

Field Programs

Many UCSC students complement their major programs with field experience or off-campus internships, which also provide opportunities for students to become involved in public service activities in the local community and throughout the world. Most of the field programs described below are open to students in a range of majors, although some are restricted to students pursuing a designated area of study. Students in all majors may apply for internships sponsored by the Career Center.

In addition to the off-campus placements provided by the programs described below, independent field study is available through some colleges and departments. Public service activities can be arranged through field programs.

Community Studies Field-Study Program
Community studies is an interdisciplinary undergraduate major that examines social change in the context of community. Each student in the program designs his or her curriculum around a six-month field study or internship with a community organization or agency.

The core curriculum for the major includes courses in field-study preparation as well as theory and analysis. Students complete the major by preparing a senior project integrating field study, classroom work, and research. The major has no lower-division prerequisites and usually takes about two years to complete.

With the guidance of a faculty adviser, community studies students choose field placements related to one of the areas of the department’s focus. (See Theory and Practice Seminars, Community Studies 100A–Z, for descriptions of these areas of focus.) In recent years, students have worked as far away as Mexico, Central America, New York, London, Paris, and Nairobi, though the majority of field studies have been in California. Students have been placed with health centers, radio and television stations, newspapers, city planning departments, political parties, neighborhood organizations, civil rights groups, battered women’s shelters, legal clinics, child care centers, programs for seniors, tenants’ unions, government agencies, the offices of elected officials, trade unions, and other organizations working for social change in communities.

The practical experience gained from the six-month field study provides graduates with many choices. About half go on to graduate work in urban studies, public administration, social work, planning, law, policy studies, medicine, or academic disciplines like sociology, anthropology, and politics. Others enter the work world directly, in many cases continuing with agencies such as those in which they did their field study. Community studies graduates are also doctors, community organizers, program directors, public officials, lawyers, university teachers, therapists, nurses, librarians, social workers, news directors, forest management consultants, reporters, day care teachers, union officials, and labor organizers.

One-quarter, 2- to 10-credit field studies are also available to all UCSC students through community studies. For more detailed information, see the Community Studies department section, or contact the Community Studies Department Office, 207 College Eight, (831) 459-2371, or the community studies field-study coordinator, 203 College Eight, (831) 459-4601. E-mail: openup@ucsc.edu. Web: communitystudies.ucsc.edu.

Economics Field-Study Program
The Economics Department offers its majors the opportunity to integrate their academic knowledge with career-related work. The field-study program places students in internships under the supervision of a faculty sponsor and a professional in the workplace. Students can select from a wide variety of field placements such as accounting firms, community nonprofits, government agencies, brokerage firms, marketing agencies, banks, and businesses in Santa Cruz and beyond. Students apply and prepare for field study a quarter in advance. Acceptance into the field-study program is determined by academic standing, class level, and successful completion of Economics 100A, 100B, and 113. (go to the Economics department section for more information) Students may earn a maximum of 10 credits and complete up to two quarters in a field placement.

Along with the training and supervision by a professional in the workplace, students receive guidance from a faculty sponsor who directs their academic project. It is completion of this project and the job supervisor's evaluation of performance that earn the student credit. Economics Field Study (course 193 or 198) does not satisfy an upper-division requirement for the major and is available on a passing/not passing (P/NP) basis only.

Interested students should make an appointment or stop by the Economics Field-Study Office: 217A Social Sciences 1; call (831) 459-2028; or e-mail econintern@ucsc.edu. Web: econ.ucsc.edu/.

Environmental Studies Field and Internship Program
Open to all UCSC students, the Environmental Studies Field and Internship Program is an integral academic component of the environmental studies major, and it augments the research and professional development of undergraduate and graduate students (go to the section on Environmental Studies for more information). Interns are placed, individually and in groups, in off-campus agencies, where their work results in publications and resource documents and in many cases serves as the primary basis for policy formation. Placements have included research with small businesses and farms, state agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and planning departments; assignments as natural history interpretive guides for state and national parks; and apprentice positions with consultants, agroecologists, resource specialists, and teachers.

Part- and full-time placements are available, and students may receive 2 to 15 course credits for their work. Each student’s placement is supervised by a faculty adviser, a field sponsor, and the internship coordinator. Students spend 12 to 15 hours each week on their assignments for every 5 credits they receive.

Internships and fieldwork are designed to complement a student’s course work and are available for both lower- and upper-division credit. Qualified environmental studies majors may undertake a senior internship to fulfill the department’s comprehensive requirement. Students are also encouraged to use their placements as a basis for senior thesis research, and occasionally interns who have returned from the field may give lectures in classes or present seminars. In addition, internships provide a fieldwork component for some environmental studies courses.

Further information is available from the Environmental Studies Field and Internship Program Office, 491 Interdisciplinary Sciences Building, (831) 459-2104,

Global Information Internship Program
The Global Information Internship Program (GIIP) is an instructional program at UCSC sponsored by the Center for Global, International, and Regional Studies (CGIRS). Guided by administrative and technical support from staff and faculty, GIIP is organized as a student-managed service-learning program that transfers the benefits of information technology to the world’s excluded majority. The program places highly motivated interns—trained in social science and information technology—with nongovernmental organizations and civic groups in the U.S. and abroad. GIIP’s mission is twofold: to upgrade the informational capacity of excluded communities while nurturing a new generation of information-savvy student leaders committed to advancing the public good.

GIIP interns acquire their skills by enrolling in 140 hours of instruction in Sociology 30A-B-C (see the Sociology department section) over a nine-month period. Sixty hours of technical training is computer-based instruction. The other 80 hours are devoted to working on projects involving one of GIIP’s six themes: Global Justice, Women’s Empowerment, Sustainable Environments, Human Rights, Peace and Conflict Resolution, and Education and Social Enterprise.

For more information, visit: www2.ucsc.edu/giip or call (831) 459-1572.

Health Sciences Internship Program
The B.S. in health science is designed to meet the needs of UCSC students who are interested in pursuing careers in medicine or biomedical research. It is based on the existing B.S. degree in molecular, cell, and developmental (MCD) biology, with identical course requirements in chemistry, physics, and math. But unlike the MCD biology major, student course work is directly relevant to human health.

The health sciences major (see Health Sciences Major for more information) includes volunteer community health care service as an internship requirement. Students are required to report on their internship experiences. The health sciences internship coordinator maintains an office where students may go to find information concerning the availability of internships within the local medical community and assists students in the selection of appropriate activities. Records of past internships are also available at the internship office.

The health sciences major also requires proficiency in Spanish, a language that is commonly used in medical settings in California. The Humanities Division offers an educational plan that will allow students to achieve Spanish proficiency in a medical setting in five quarters. This course of study entails four quarters of Spanish grammar and conversation (students enroll in the regular Spanish 1–4 series), followed by one quarter of medical Spanish (Spanish 5M). This new course covers medical terminology and issues of cultural sensitivity.

More information about the health sciences major and internship program is available at the Biological Sciences Undergraduate Advising Office, 103A Thimann Laboratories, (831) 459-4143, or e-mail bioadvise@biology.ucsc.edu, or from the health sciences internship coordinator, 323 Sinsheimer, (831) 459-5647, or e-mail cberger@ucsc.edu. Web: www.biology.ucsc.edu/ug/hltintrn.html.

Latin American and Latino Studies Fieldwork
A variety of field-study and internship opportunities can be arranged through the Latin American and Latino studies (LALS) fieldwork course. Field studies are independent, community-based study projects for academic credit, done under faculty sponsorship and arranged on an individual basis. It is important to plan at least two quarters in advance of the intended departure date for a field study abroad. Projects vary widely, but students who want to develop a field-study proposal are expected to prepare for it by acquiring fluency in the appropriate language, prior cross-cultural experience, and upper-division course work on the region and/or topic that is to be the focus of the study. Students are expected to take the Field-Study Seminar (LALS 196) and work with the field-study coordinators. Local field study can be arranged in Santa Cruz, Watsonville, and Salinas, with agencies and organizations, schools, and newspapers and radio stations that serve Chicano/Latino communities. These local field studies are done in conjunction with course work on campus (i.e., as one of a student’s three courses in a given quarter). For more information, contact the field-study coordinators at (831) 459-4430 (borrego@ucsc.edu) or 459-5897 (jafox@ucsc.edu).

Psychology Field-Study Program
The Psychology Field-Study Program provides qualified students an opportunity to integrate what they have learned in the classroom with direct service to a community agency. Each year, more than 200 students develop new skills and clarify personal and professional goals by working as interns in schools, criminal justice programs, and mental health and other social service agencies, where they are supervised by a professional within that organization. Psychology faculty members sponsor field-study students, helping them to synthesize their intern experience with psychology course work and guiding them through an academic project.

Junior and senior psychology majors in good academic standing are eligible to apply for this competitive program (go to Psychology program descriptions for more information). Applications can be obtained from the field-study office, 273 Social Sciences 2 Building, and are due one quarter in advance. There is a minimum commitment of two quarters. Information can be viewed on the web at psych.ucsc.edu/field_study, or phone (831) 459-4410.

Education Field Programs
The M.A. in education program provides students with the necessary credential preparation for K–12 teaching in the California public schools. Crosscultural (CLAD) and Bilingual Crosscultural (BCLAD) emphases are included for the preparation of elementary and secondary math, science, English, and social science teachers.

Students pursuing an M.A. in education (which includes the CLAD/BCLAD teaching credential) must complete an extensive student-teaching course sequence. Student-teaching placements are restricted to enrolled students. The student-teaching sequence consists of five courses: Education 203, 283, and 284A-B-C. The first and second quarters of the sequence involve part-time placements in public schools in Santa Cruz County. The third quarter of student teaching is a full-time experience in which students gradually take over full responsibility for the daily instructional program of the classroom in which they are placed. Substantial fieldwork is also incorporated in other courses that are required for the teaching credential.

The minor in education is an undergraduate program in which students explore the history of educational thought and philosophy, the politics and economics of education, learning theory and pedagogy, and issues of cultural and linguistic diversity. As a part of the six-course minor sequence, students engage in field study in schools through Education 80, Introduction to Teaching.

For more information, see Education, or contact the Education Department, 212 Crown College, (831) 459-2589 (reception). E-mail address: education@ucsc.edu; web: education.ucsc.edu.
