  • It cannot split courses between different sub-requirements.

  • It cannot apply partial units from a course toward the requirement.

  • Cannot substitute a course for itself (ie, substitute CHEM 1A [P grade] for CHEM 1A). This will cause an error in the audit. Please use an Add Course for this type of exception.

Additional Notes

  • This petition type is never viewed by anyone in the Office of the Registrar and is fed into uAchieve exactly as entered.

  • This petition does not ‘force’ the course(s) selected to apply to the requirement specified. It simply informs uAchieve that it may use the course(s) towards the requirement area. If the course may also be used for a different requirement area, uAchieve will apply the course to the first requirement it encounters that needs it. If an adjustment to the number of required courses is included on the exception in uAchieve, it is applied even if one or more courses on the exception were applied to a different requirement.

  • When petitioning multiple campus transfer work courses to cover a series there are two ways to approach it. One option is to leave any articulated classes as they are and substitute the remainder of the transfer work that did not articulate toward the unmet courses. The second option is to select all the transfer work courses including those articulated and substitute them for the entire series.

Universal Equivalency

This is the only petition type related to the courses offered by the department, not to major requirements. The Universal Equivalency petition allows a department to identify transfer courses as being direct equivalents to one of their department’s courses. This can only be done for a 1-to-1 equivalence where one transfer course is equivalent to one UCSB course. This exception is student specific and does not affect any other students that may have taken the same course.
