Information for Graduating Seniors

Progress Checks

You may request a check on your academic progress at any time during your academic career, however it is essential that you request the check early enough to make any necessary changes to your senior year course plan. We recommend requesting a progress check no later than the summer prior to your senior year or early in the fall quarter. Once the school year begins, it takes much longer for advisors to process your request and if you wait until winter, you may not have enough time to adjust your schedule.

There are two types of progress checks available to you:

  • Major Requirement checks: You may request a check on you major requirements from your major department.
  • College and University requirements: You may request a check on your general education and university requirements from the College of Engineering Office of Undergraduate Studies.

Transcripts & Verifications

Transcripts and verifications are produced by the Office of the Registrar and serve two very different functions.

Transcripts are a copy of your record at UCSB and are available in official and unofficial versions.

Verifications are an official document produced by the Registrar that verify some aspect of your enrollment. These are very handy for students that need verification of graduation prior to receiving their diploma.

Please take a look at the Registrar's Office's website for information on how to request these documents and any fees that may be associated.

UCSB Extension Open Enrollment

The College of Engineering very rarely approves requests for deficit loads, even for graduating seniors. If you want to take less than 12 units during a quarter, Open Enrollment may be just the thing for you! Take a look at some of the pros and cons for taking classes via UCSB Extension's Open Enrollment program.
