What do I need to complete to declare?
See these checklists below, cover requirements for declaring a major, minor, or specialization. Please refer to the 2024 - 2024 Undergraduate Handbook for specifics on the course, letter grade, and GPA requirements for declaring each major. Alternatively, the UCLA General Catalog has more detailed information.
Process to Declare
If you meet all the requirements checklist below, please visit our Petitions page for directions on
- Where to send your email
- What to include in the subject and body of the email
Petitions deviating from our directions may be overlooked. Due to our high volume of emails and petitions, the processing time is up to 3 weeks.
Declaring Pre-Major
- I have completed at least one regular quarter (fall, winter, spring) in good academic standing at UCLA with at least 12.0 units.
- All the courses I’ve taken thus far for the mathematics major meet the minimum letter grade and GPA requirements (See Handbook).
Declaring Major
- I have completed all the starred pre-major courses (see the blue and yellow boxes in the major pages) with the minimum required letter grades and pre-major GPA(s).
- I have completed at least one regular quarter (fall, winter, spring) in good academic standing at UCLA with at least 12.0 units.
- All the courses I’ve taken thus far for the mathematics major meet the minimum letter grade and GPA requirements (See Handbook).
Declaring Double Major with a Math Major
- I have completed ALL the pre-major courses for BOTH majors.
- I have completed at least one regular quarter (fall, winter, spring) in good academic standing at UCLA with at least 12.0 units.
- I have completed at least two upper division courses for each major.
These two upper division courses can overlap between the majors. This means Major A's two courses can be the same as Major B's two courses at the time of declaration.
Example: Math 170E and 170S can fulfill this requirement for students declaring a double major in Applied Mathematics and Statistics & Data Science. - All the courses I’ve taken thus far for the mathematics major meet the minimum letter grade and GPA requirements (See Handbook).
Declaring Specialization in Computing
- I am declared into a math major (not pre-major) or I am declaring a math major at the same time as the specialization.
- I have completed PIC 10A and 10B or CS 31 and 32.
- All the courses I’ve taken thus far for the specialization meet the minimum letter grade and GPA requirements.
- I have completed at least one regular quarter (fall, winter, spring) in good academic standing at UCLA with at least 12 .0 units (See Handbook).
Declaring Mathematics Minor
- I have completed at least 12.0 units of mathematics coursework at UCLA.
- Of the 12.0 units of completed mathematics courses, one of them is upper division.
- All the courses I’ve taken thus far for the minor meet the minimum letter grade and GPA requirements (See Handbook).
- I have completed at least one regular quarter (fall, winter, spring) in good academic standing at UCLA with at least 12.0 units.
Declaring Mathematics for Teaching Minor
- I have completed Math 115A.
- All the courses I’ve taken thus far for the minor meet the minimum letter grade and GPA requirements (See Handbook).
- I have completed at least one regular quarter (fall, winter, spring) in good academic standing at UCLA with at least 12.0 units
