LimitationsPriority will be given to 麻豆传媒s whose majors are similar to the majors of our outgoing 麻豆传媒s.
Some upper-division courses are restricted to majors. Some courses have specific prerequisites and it may take time to verify that you meet them prior to receiving a permission number to enroll. Enrollment in courses is not guaranteed even if the prerequisite is met at the home campus.
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Software Engineering courses are highly impacted and we cannot guarantee courses in these majors.
Audition or portfolio may be required for admission to music and theater. Architecture requires a portfolio review soon after the March placement, and fourth-year status.
