Untitled[edit]

This is probably obvious, but a lot of the people who have edited this article are current or former students of the college. It would benefit from an outsider's loving tender NPOV care. Dreamyshade 11:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas of updating information[edit]

Hello folks,

I am a current student at the college and found much of the information here in need of updating. Most links have been taken down since the college published a new website. I guess many years ago, there was an online student handbook, but now it is in the form of a PDF file.

I have modified the "Privileges and grading system" section:

Added SURF. SURF is only open to CCS students and many people believe it is an important aspect of the CCS experience.
Changed the building access info. After UCSB reopened the campus after COVID-19 lockdown, the CCS building is only open between 7:30 AM to 10 PM. CCS also no longer gives key to students; now students enter the building via e-locks.

I would recommend setting the discussion of the CCS grading system as an independent section. It is a highly unique and important practice, not so well known among people outside the college. Dmsogeek (talk) 04:47, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Historically, CCS held at least some "provable"[edit]

This was a significant defining characteristic of CCS that set it apart from even the marquee campuses, although obviously it was historically extremely common for highly competitive students to submit letters as optional extras for application to the top 3ish UCs, it was never *Required*. ALSO, it should be noted that CCS administrative staff routinely waived that requirement during a common "upgrade" process that would be bestowed upon 2-3 students per year. Usually applicable to students selected from the historically always small Chemistry (CofL&S cohort used to number in the 20-40 per year at the highger end.... CCS never even once exceeded 2601:602:CB00:94A0:6435:224B:C08B:9824 (talk) 16:00, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
