Step 3: Extra Seats

Seat requests will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-serve basis. All seats that are still open will be available on the first day of the quarter. 

Incoming first-year students: Please wait until your full A&O program is completed at 5:00 pm PT to request an extra seat. We want to ensure you have had comprehensive guidance from your academic adviser before you make a request. 

Current students: You can request an extra seat at any point.
