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.

Universal Equivalency
This is the only petition type related to the courses offered by the department, not to major requirements.

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.
