(Concurrent, EOP, Second Baccalaureate, Limited Status, Special Status)
Concurrent courses are regular university courses open to the community on a space-available basis through University Extension. This program allows an individual to pursue academic interests and to test academic abilities at the university.
For information, write to the University Extension office, Research Park, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 (530-757-8777).
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) assists students from economically, socially, and/or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. EOP can help students with the admission application process and offers academic, social and cultural support. (See also under the "Academic Advising and Student Resources" chapter.) Application fee waivers and financial aid are available to those individuals with demonstrated financial need. Contact Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach Services for information on obtaining fee waivers, and contact the Financial Aid Office regarding financial assistance. Once enrolled, contact the EOP Information Office for a quarterly newsletter and class information.
To apply for the program, each applicant must complete the regular UC admission application form and complete the appropriate items related to EOP. In addition, the applicant is advised to discuss the reasons for requesting EOP assistance in the required personal statement.
Students in limited status are those whose special attainments qualify them to take certain courses in the university toward a definite and limited objective. To apply for limited status admission, you must either have a bachelor's degree but not be a candidate for an advanced degree, or have completed a substantial amount of college work with a satisfactory grade point average. You must submit an undergraduate application with fee as well as a limited status petition and official transcripts from all schools attended. As a limited status student you will be expected to maintain a certain scholarship average during a predetermined time of enrollment.
Application filing dates are the same as those for new undergraduate applicants. Fees for limited status students are the same as those for new applicants. You will not be admitted to limited status for the purpose of raising a low scholarship average.
Admission to the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences requires the approval of the undergraduate admissions director and the dean of the college.
Enrollment pressures have necessitated closing this category of admission for the College of Engineering, the College of Letters and Science, and the Division of Biological Sciences.
If you have a bachelor's degree substantially equivalent to one that is granted by the University of California, you may be allowed to enroll as an undergraduate seeking a second bachelor's degree. Admission in this category will depend upon a superior academic record and clear evidence of a change in objective.
Admission to the Colleges of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and Engineering requires the approval of the undergraduate admissions director and the dean of the college. You must submit an undergraduate application, a second baccalareate petition (except College of Engineering) as well as official transcripts from all schools attended. Application filing dates are the same as those for new undergraduate applicants.
The College of Engineering will accept applicants if their first degree is not in engineering and if they complete the lower division engineering program at a California community college. Enrollment pressures have necessitated closing this category of admission for the College of Letters and Science and the Division of Biological Sciences, except in the major of Plant Biology.
The special status classification is for applicants 21 years of age or older who have not had the opportunity to complete a satisfactory high school program or who have not completed a substantial amount of college work, but by reason of special attainment or background may be prepared to undertake certain courses at UC Davis toward a definite and limited objective.
You will not be admitted to special status for the purpose of fulfilling requirements for admission as a regular student. Conditions for admission are determined by the admissions director and are subject to approval by the dean of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Admission is for a specified time only and a prescribed scholastic average must be maintained. Application, special status petition, fees and filing dates are the same as those for new applicants.
Enrollment pressures have necessitated closing this category of admission for the College of Engineering, the College of Letters and Science, and the Division of Biological Sciences.
