The deadline is Friday of 6th week at midnight.If you want to change grading basis after the deadline, you must obtain a "change of grading detail" petition from any ASK counselors or counseling units. After you complete the petition, turn it in to your advising unit. Please note that this petition is rarely approved and only under extreme conditions such as sudden illness or family emergencies.
Effective Fall 2000 UCLA does not calculate any type of class rankings. You can, however, get an explanatory letter from the Registrar's Office at 1134 Murphy Hall that you can send to prospective schools.
Go to www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/unitsearch.aspx
How can I find out what GE classes are being offered this quarter, and whether or not they are still open?
Use the GE class search tool at www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/gesearch.aspx
Your class standing is determined solely by the number of units you've completed (including transfer and AP). The breakdown is as follows:Freshman (UFR) 0-44.9 units
Sophomore (USO) 45-89.9 units
Junior (UJR) 90-134.9 units
Senior (USR) 135 or more units
Don't stress about the discrepancy between your DPR and your MyUCLA page. Keep in mind that the databases for MyUCLA and the DPR are administered by different departments and are most likely updated on different schedules.
www.commencement.ucla.edu
If you are planning to take a course at a community college to fulfill your GE, then go to www.college.ucla.edu/up/counseling/artagree for a list of articulation agreements between UCLA and some of the most popular community colleges. If your CC is among those listed, most of your work is done — simply click on the link and a screen will pop up listing the classes that are equivalent to our GEs. If your CC is not on that list, you can get an approximate idea of how a course would transfer back to UCLA by visiting www.assist.org. For a variety of reasons this site is not 100% accurate, however, and so you should always double check the information you find there with a counselor in your advising unit.
You can get an official copy of your CC transcript and give it in person to the Admissions and Records Office at 1147 Murphy Hall. You can also have the CC mail an official copy to UCLA. For address please see below.
Once you have accumulated 105 units of college credit, you will no longer be eligible to receive unit credit from course work done at a community college. You can use community college coursework to satisfy other college and university requirements, however. For example, if you need a class to satisfy a Life Science GE you can still take the equivalent course at a community college like SMC. The only difference is that while you'll get credit for taking a Life Science GE, and since you will not earn any units toward your UCLA unit requirement (180), you won't be in violation of the Senior Residency Requirement.
You cannot take any classes at a community college (or any other non-UC school) during a regular session at UCLA. If you do this it is called concurrently enrolling, which UCLA does not allow during regular sessions (fall, winter, spring). The only time you can to this is during the summer. For more information on concurrent enrollment please see below.
Concurrent enrollment occurs when you are attending a UCLA regular session (fall, winter, or spring) and another college institution at the same time. These institutions include community colleges, UCLA extension, or any four-year university.
No, although you can take classes elsewhere, you won't receive any credit at UCLA for these classes. The only time a student can receive credit for concurrent enrollment is during summer session.
If you are a student in the College of Letters and Science (and not in Honors, AAP or Athletics), then you can make an appointment to see a counselor at A316 Murphy Hall Window # 1 or 2. Both windows are open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.You can make an appointment to see a Counseling Assistant at Window 1. CAs are graduate students who are trained to answer your questions about a variety of topics. If you're a freshman or sophomore, CAs can help you with program planning and major exploration. If you're a junior or senior, CAs are great resources for information about graduate and professional schools. Appointments with CAs can be made for the same day (when available) or in advance.
You can make an appointment with a full time counselor at Window 2. Full time counselors deal with questions about graduation, academic difficulty (i.e. Subject to Dismissal or Academic probation) or personal problems that may affect your academic performance. Appointments with full time counselor can be made on a same day basis only. Be sure to arrive at the window early as appointments fill up quickly.
Honors students make appointments at A311 Murphy Hall
AAP students at 1209 Campbell Hall

Call the "Diploma Hotline" (310) 825-8883 or visit www.registrar.ucla.edu/faq/diplomafaq.htm for more information about diploma availability.
Discuss major requirements and program planning with the undergraduate advisor in both majors. If you're not sure where to find the undergraduate advising office for a particular major, visit www.registrar.ucla.edu/soc/counsel.htm.You should also make an appointment with a fulltime counselor in your advising unit in order to assess the viability of your plan.

Friday of 2nd week.
Friday of 4th week.
During Weeks 5-7 you can drop a course through URSA without an instructor’s signature and you will get a transcript notation indicating the week the course was dropped. Example: Course dropped Week 6
What’s new is that you do this now through URSA, no paperwork is required.
Beginning Fall 2006, a new drop policy for non-impacted courses for undergraduates in the College of Letters and Science goes into effect. During Weeks 8-10, you are now limited to three restricted late drops in your entire UCLA undergraduate career. We have these petitions at all ASK locations and they are at every counseling unit. So, you need to pick up the new green Restricted Drop Petition, get the instructor’s signature verifying that no final has been taken and submit this drop request to your counseling unit (Honors, AAP or L&S) If your counseling unit confirms that you have not made more than three of these restricted drop requests during weeks 8-10 your petition is approved, processed and your transcript is notated accordingly
Beginning Fall 2006, if you have already dropped three classes during the Week 8-10 restricted period, you must now use the RED DROP PETITION. The procedure is the same, you get the instructor’s signature and submit this to your counseling unit, BE WARNED, these are only approved in cases of extraordinary and verifiable circumstances.
You would use this red drop petition for three different requests:
- Impacted drop (after week 2)
- Excessive Restricted Drop (more than three requests in weeks 8-10)
- Retroactive Drop finals week and thereafter (impacted/non-impacted)
Sure, beginning Fall 2006, a new drop policy for non-impacted courses for undergraduates in L&S went into effect. The impacted drop policy remains the same. Student can drop non-impacted courses through URSA without a transcript notation through Friday of fourth week. In weeks five through seven, students can drop courses through URSA without an instructors’ signature, but will receive a transcript notation noting the week the course was dropped. During weeks eight through ten, student are limited to three restricted late drops in their academic career. You must now obtain an instructor’s signature verifying that no final has been taken and submit the crop request to your counseling units (AAP, Athletics, College Academic Counseling or Honors) All drops during weeks eight through ten will receive a transcript notation noting the week the course was dropped. The retroactive drop policy remains the same. Fees are assessed through BAR.
You probably tried to enroll in a section of English 4W that is reserved for English majors. Each quarter the Dept. of English reserves four sections of English 4W for students in the major for whom the class is a prerequisite. If the sections don't fill up with major students, the department generally lifts the restriction before instruction begins. For more information about the status of these sections, contact an advisor in the English Undergraduate Advising Office at (310) 825-1389.
Since there are far more students who want to take English 4HW than there is room to accommodate them, the English Dept. asks students who are both interested and eligible (you must be enrolled in College Honors) to come to the Undergrad. Advising Office (2222 Rolfe Hall) on the first day of priority enrollment and add their names to a list of prospective candidates for the course. The first twenty students to arrive (the office opens at 9am) will be guaranteed a place pending the confirmation of their participation in College Honors.If you have more questions about the enrollment process for English 4HW, contact the undergrad advisor for English at (310) 825-1389.

If you have a 3.0 GPA (both overall AND in the previous quarter), a counselor in your advising unit can increase your maximum number of units for you while you wait. Then you can enroll on URSA for those extra courses.If your GPA is less than 3.0, you must fill out a petition for extra units and submit it to your advising unit. These petitions generally take 3 to 4 days to process.
Both the ESL Placement exams and the ESL courses needed to satisfy this requirement are administered by the Department of Applied Linguistics & TESL: www.international.ucla.edu/languages/esl/

You have to fill out a special petition from the department offering the 199. Once it is filled out return it to 1113 Murphy Hall by the end of week 3.
You should visit the The Center for Community Learning located at A333 Murphy Hall. You can also visit their website at: www.college.ucla.edu/up/ccl
You should speak with the undergraduate advisor of that major. If you don't know where to find the advisor for your major, visit this site: www.registrar.ucla.edu/soc/counsel.htm.
You need to talk to an advisor in the School of Arts and Architecture (1200 Dickson Art Center) about what you would need to do in order to transfer out of L&S and into the School of Arts and Architecture. Contact them at either (310) 825-9007 or check their website at: www.design.ucla.edu.
If you have some unusual but definite academic interest and there is no suitable major is offered you can create your own major.

To drop a class see the Drop Deadlines section above. To add a class weeks 1-3 use URSA, after the week 3 add deadline pick up a pink late add petition at any ASK location or counseling unit. To change to Pass/ No Pass from Grade or to Grade from Pass/No Pass use URSA through week six, after week six pick up the Late Credit Detail Change Petition. For either of these the process is the same; if you missed the deadline you must now complete the petition attaching supporting documentation and letter of explanation, submit this to your counseling unit. No guarantees of approval, each case is considered individually and reviewed based on the information given and your petition history.
You can check the status of your petition online — go to your MyUCLA page and click on the "petitions" link listed under "MyUCLA Features."
Yes, you may write a letter of appeal. Keep in mind, however, that the College is unlikely to reverse its decision unless you can provide a more compelling case for your request (i.e. include supporting documentation, more detail about extenuating circumstances). You don't need a special form or petition to appeal—simply address the letter to your advising unit (L&S, AAP, Honors etc.) and don't forget to include your name and student id number at the top.
There are a variety of offices throughout campus that specialize on each part of the pre-med process. For course planning and academic questions you can see a Pre-Health Peer Counselor at Covel Commons, a departmental counselor, or a L & S counselor. For career field information, personal statements, salary ranges, application information and MCAT statistics, and Letter of Recommendation services please the Career Center.
You need to contact the department that offers the test. However, most departments administer their proficiency exams either just before the quarter begins or during the first week of instruction.
If you have recieved either a 3.75 GPA in any one term with at least 12 graded units and no grade of NP or I or a 3.66 GPA and at least 56 grade points during the term, with no grade of NP or I, then you have received Provost's Honors. Provost's Honors are automatically recorded on the transcript.
A PTE number gives you "permission to enroll" in a class for which you are technically ineligible (either you have not met the class prereqs, or the class is already full).
Before instruction begins, ask the undergraduate advisor for the department that administers the class about PTE numbers. Some departments will give out PTE numbers under certain conditions—particularly to students who need the class to complete requirements for a double major or minor.Once instruction has begun, however, you will need to ask the professor (or T.A.) for the class about the possibility of getting a PTE number.
Through the end of 3rd week you can input a PTE number into the URSA enrollment menu in order to add a class.
In order to repeat a class you must have received a grade of C- or lower or NP. You may repeat up to 16 units of graded coursework.
You're in luck-since you took the class P/NP the first time, you can repeat it for a letter grade. If you had taken the class for a grade, however, you would not be able to change your grading option to P/NP.
You must petition the college for approval to repeat a class more than once. These petitions are rarely approved so make sure that you satisfy the following criteria before submitting your petition:
- The course must be mandatory for your graduation.
- You must have received a grade no higher than a "D" in your first two attempts.
- You must have had (and be prepared to document) extenuating circumstances that precipitated the low grades in each of your first two attempts.
- You must have repeat rule credit left to cover the approval.

Transferring classes from semester system/Berkeley back to quarter system/UCLA can be tricky. There is UC reciprocity for any courses that another UC gives credit for. So UCLA will honor that credit as well as the grade earned in the course. But, it is hard to determine a precise course equivalent. There usually is not such a thing. Often two of their courses, the entire year sequence, converts to our 3 courses, again the same year sequence. But when you break up a sequence per course it is difficult. But, if you want the course that is as close as you can get, bring a list of Berkeley math courses to a UCLA math department counselor. They can help you figure out what will directly transfer as the class you want it to.

Since UCLA does not have articulation agreements with 4 year institutions, it's a bit more difficult to get credit for courses taken at a state college than it is for work done at a community college. If the Admissions Office doesn't recognize the courses you took as equivalent to anything offered here at UCLA, you will have to petition either the college or your major dept. to get credit. (Who you petition depends on whether you want the classes to count for GE or major requirements).
Look under Drop Deadlines above.
"NR" means that your professor has not yet turned in your grade to the Registrar's office. If you see this notation on your records, you should get in touch with your professor.

Check URSA for your status in the class, because you may have moved up the waitlist (or even into the class) if another student has dropped the class. If you don't see any movement, however, you can always ask your professor for a PTE number that will override the enrollment limit.
Friday of 2nd week.
Withdrawing from the University means discontinuing attendance in all courses in which students are enrolled. Students who withdraw during a term need to file a Notice of Withdrawal, available from their counseling unit or any ASK Peer Counselor. When a student officially withdraws, a percentage of the registration fee is refunded depending on the date the withdrawal form is filed. These claims for refund must be presented within the academic (fiscal) year for which the claim is applicable. Students may withdraw only if they have not taken any final examinations or otherwise completed the work in any classes. One withdrawal places no restriction on readmission or continuation if you started the term in good academic standing.
If you withdraw after one or more previous withdrawals or while in academic difficulty, a restriction may be placed on their continuance in undergraduate standing. Before you withdrawal it is important to consult faculty, departmental, or college counselors to consider the full implications of this action.
Yes you may also withdraw from a term retroactively, provided no final examinations have been taken and no coursework has been completed. You may not withdrawal after you graduate however.
A list of courses for the current academic year can be found at: www.registrar.ucla.edu/soc/writing.htm.
