Add Codes:

In our department, instructors administer their own add codes. If you are interested in requesting an add code, you should contact the instructor listed on GOLD. Our faculty and instructor contact information is available in the People section of this website, and on the UCSB Directory.

Waitlists:

Our waitlists prioritize declared Chicana/o Studies majors by class-standing, minors by class-standing, and then all other majors by class-standing.

If you are waitlisted for a course with sections, then you should waitlist for more than one section in order to maximize the likelihood of enrolling in the course.
