Enrolling

When is my enrollment appointment for next quarter?
Checking the time of your enrollment appointment is one of your options on the URSA enrollment menu: www.ursa.ucla.edu.

Why can't I enroll in more than 10 units on my first pass?
Every student at UCLA has two enrollment passes. During your first pass (or priority pass/first pass combined for those who have priority enrollment), you may enroll in up to 10 units. Once second pass begins, you can enroll in up to 19 units.

What does a hold on my record mean? What should I do if I have one?
A hold on your records mean you cannot access certain services at UCLA. This can affect registration, enrollment, financial aid, campus services, and/or release of academic transcripts for the following three reasons:

• Failure to comply with admission provisions
• Failure to settle financial obligations with the University
• Failure to respond to official notices

Each student who becomes subject to a hold action is given advance notice and ample time to respond. In most cases, the hold must be released by the initiating office (that is, the office that is having a problem) before a student may enroll in classes or receive various campus services. Obtain information on holds through URSA at www.ursa.ucla.edu . Please note: even if it is during your pass, you will not be able to enroll if a hold has been placed on your records. Please check through URSA to see whether any holds might have been placed on your records and get them cleared up before your pass begins by contacting the office that placed the hold Ð only that office can remove it. Departmental counselors cannot override a hold on your records even if you have submitted a request to enroll.

How many units do I need for full time status?
It depends on the year you entered UCLA. If you entered before Fall 2001 as a 1st year then you need 12 units. If you entered after/in Fall 2001 as a first year, then you need 13 units for full time. If you transferred regardless of year, then it is still 12 units. If you need verification of your full time status (for instance, for "good student" auto insurance certification), go to the Registrar's Office which is located at 1134 Murphy Hall and is open M-F from 9:00-5:00. The Registrar can also help you if you need to confirm your student status, attendance, degree or address information. Contact them by phone (310) 206-0482) or visit their FAQ page online at: www.registrar.ucla.edu/faq.

How do I enroll in more than 19 units in a quarter?
If you have a 3.0 GPA (either overall or from the previous quarter), a counselor in your advising unit (College Counseling, Honors, AAP, or Athletics) 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.

How do I find odd unit courses (such as 1 unit or 2 unit classes)?
Go to www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule and scroll down the page to the option "unit search."

How do I know what classes satisfy GE requirements? How can I find out what GE classes are being offered this quarter, and whether or not they are still open?
Go to www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule and scroll down the page to the option "GE class search."

How do I know if a course is impacted?
You can find a list of impacted courses at www.registrar.ucla.edu/soc/impact.htm.

As an undergraduate can I enroll in a graduate level course (numbered 200 and above)?
MCDB majors in good academic standing may enroll in graduate level courses with the consent of the instructor. However, credit for graduate courses is not automatically applied to your undergraduate degree and/or major requirements. In advance of enrolling in any graduate course, you should first consult the MCDB Undergraduate Counselor to see whether the course can be applied to your major. You then are required to submit a blue student petition to College Counseling (College Academic Counseling, Honors, AAP, or Athletics) to request to have graduate coursework counted on your undergraduate degree. See the MCDB Counselor if you have questions.
