Graduation Requirements
All prospective applicants, particularly students who intend to study in Washington, DC during their senior year, should carefully plan their course programs for Davis and at UCDC in order to satisfy university, college, and major/minor requirements for their degree.
Although units and grade points earned at UCDC are incorporated into the University transcript and GPA, departments and majors retain the right to determine which UCDC courses will be accepted in satisfaction of major and minor requirements.
In addition, all degree candidates must meet the University residence requirement. Recognizing the special value of UCDC, the faculty has approved two exceptions to the usual residence requirement for students participating in the Washington Program:
• Students planning to graduate immediately upon completion of participation in UCDC may satisfy the University residence requirement by completing at least 35 of their final 45 units on the Davis campus preceding entry into UCDC.
• Students who have not finished all of their degree requirements following completion of their participation in the UCDC program may satisfy the University residence requirement by completing at least 35 of the final 90 units earned toward the degree on the Davis campus, including at least 12 units after returning from UCDC.
If you have any questions about graduation requirements, please contact an advisor in your college or home department.
