I don't know the specifics on how it works. I didn't attend the UC system but I do have friends who did. (Lots of UC alumni in the Bay Area - go figure) In any case, my understanding from the friends who did, is that they had to apply through their "home" (for lack of a better term) campus to take classes not available (either not offered at all, or maybe not that semester) on their campus. And while it didn't have to be in their program or major, it had to some how apply toward their degree.
For example, one friend - a business major - went to UCLA to take some literature courses that were not available at Berkeley. I'm not sure if they were available per say, but one big reason was that she wanted to go to UCLA was to study under a specific professor who was teaching the courses down in Los Angeles. Since these courses weren't available (in the since of being taught by said professor) to her at Berkeley, she was approved. I believe she had to be a full time student so she also took other "general" course work while at UCLA. However, all applied toward her degree.
Basically, she worked with her advisor in Berkeley to take the courses in Los Angeles. The advisor had to make sure that she was able to take the courses in Los Angeles as well. Also, she was eligible to stay in the dorms and was there for a full year cause she wanted to - and did - take the companion courses as well.
