• If you are a declared nutrition major entering UC Davis for the first time in Fall Quarter, your Major Advisors will verify which courses they accepted towards your nutrition major requirements before registration for Fall begins (Aug. 12 or 13). Keep an eye out for this notification sent to your UC Davis e-mail address from OASIS.

• Prerequisite Science Courses
• If you did not complete your General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Cellular Biology courses before transferring, plan to take these courses at UCD your first year.
• Junior Year Coursework
• If you completed your General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Cellular Biology courses before transferring, you are ready to start the Fall Quarter classes listed in Junior Year on the Sample 4-Year Plan of the nutrition major you plan to complete.

Reminders

• You do not need to be in a specific major to take a class, you only need to meet the prerequisites. If a class is closed to specific majors in Pass 1, you can attempt to register for the class during Pass 2 or Schedule Adjustment.
• Courses that are offered in early mornings, late afternoons or evenings will have less demand. If you really want to take a specific class in Fall Quarter, look to these sections to improve your chances of finding a seat.
• Registration continues through the first 2 weeks of instruction.
