Degree Progress

You're now viewing the 2021-22 Catalog

UCLA is a full-time institution, and it is expected that students complete their undergraduate degree requirements promptly. Normal progress toward graduation in four years is defined as the completion of 45 units per year, or 15 units per term.

The Degree Audit is a record of degree requirements and the courses taken to fulfill them. Students are responsible for monitoring their progress toward the degree. They must read and understand the UCLA General Catalog, and consult regularly with College and departmental advisers to confirm they are satisfying all program requirements. Departmental advisers advise students on progress and completion of the major requirements. Academic advisers and counselors in Center for Academic Advising in the College, Academic Advancement Program, Honors Programs, and Student Athletics Counseling assist students with College requirements, degree planning, and Degree Audits on request. Students can also view the Degree Audit through MyUCLA.
