Chemistry Minor

General information about Double Majors and Minors can be found here.

To view the course requirements for the Chemistry minor, see the Chemistry minor catalog.

Students electing a chemistry minor may not use the online petition to declare.  The steps to pursue a Chemistry minor are as follows:

1. Review a major academic plan and have it signed by your UCSC major advisor.

2. Make an appointment with the Chemistry minor advisor and send the link (or PDF) to your signed academic planning form to chemistryadvising@ucsc.edu.

3. The Chemistry minor advisor will review your major academic plan and will add the Chemistry minor courses to your plan, if it is viable to do so per double credit counting, enrollment limitations, and time-to-degree guidelines.

4. The Chemistry minor advisor will discuss your Chemistry minor plan with you during your appointment.

5. Once approved as a viable major/minor plan by both the major/department advisor and the Chemistry minor advisor the Chemistry minor advisor will sign the academic planning form.

6. Once you have a signed academic plan, log into MyUCSC and submit the Petition for Major/Minor via MyUCSC to petition to declare a Chemistry minor. The Petition for Major/Minor declaration form can be accessed by going to MyUCSC and navigating to the Student Homepage and selecting the Undergraduate Student eForms tile > Petition for Major/Minor.
