To be admitted to the minor, students must:

-Be in good academic standing (minimum 2.00 GPA overall)
-Have completed at least one minor course with a grade of C- or better.
-Be able to complete the requirements within their time to degree*
-Contact us at advising@international.ucla.edu with your request and attach any necessary forms (as indicated below). Please also be sure to include your name and UID#.

*Students who are interested in declaring the minor should have declared their degree expected term, which can be done through MyUCLA (Academics >Academic Profile > Declare Candidacy Term.

Students must still prioritize their major to ensure that they are able to graduate within their Time to Degree (https: //caac.ucla.edu/petitions-forms/time-to-degree/). If students are unable to graduate within their approved time, they may be ineligible for a UCLA degree.

STUDENTS IN THE COLLEGE OF LETTERS & SCIENCE: Students should consult with an academic advisor in the College's Center for Academic Advising (https: //caac.ucla.edu/) if their academic program changes or they encounter challenges that prevent them from finishing on time.

STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF THE COLLEGE OF LETTERS & SCIENCE (e.g, SOAA, TFT, HSSEAS, HASOM, SON, etc.): Please be sure to discuss your desire to pursue the minor with your school's advisor prior to submitting your request to declare it. Students who wish to declare the minor will also need to have an Undergraduate Program Change Petition (http: //www.registrar.ucla.edu/Forms/Registration-and-Enrollment/Undergraduate-Program-Change-Petition) form signed by the International Migration Studies advisor. Students must then submit the signed petition to their school, and once approved by the school, the minor will be declared on their records.

Note that students who have the minor declared on their records are eligible to enroll in the required Advanced Theory course I M STD 155. Theory, Research, and Methods in the Study of International Migration, which is offered in Fall Quarters.
