Declaring the Major

Once all final grades for all preparation courses are posted to the DAR, students can message the Psych Advising Office via Message Center on MyUCLA 🔗 to declare the Psychobiology major. Note the deadline for Psychobiology transfer students to complete their major preparation coursework is by the end of the summer following their first year at UCLA. 

TRANSFER STUDENT NOTE: Life science majors are required to complete extensive preparatory courses prior to transfer, therefore, you must be admitted directly into a life science major; you will not be able to change from a non-life science major into a life science major after admission to UCLA. No exceptions are made to this Admission policy. (pg. 19 of the UCLA Transfer Admissions Guide)
