Degree requirements are subject to policies and regulations, including the following:
Students should take advantage of academic support resources, but they are ultimately responsible for keeping informed of and complying with the rules, regulations, and policies affecting their academic standing.
The study list is a record of classes that a student is taking for a particular term. Each term the study list must include from 15 to 20 units. The school has no provision for part-time enrollment. After the first term, students may petition to enroll in more than 20 units (up to 30 units maximum) if they have an overall grade-point average of 3.0 (B) or better and have attained at least a 3.0 (B) grade-point average in the preceding term with all courses passed. Excess units petitions must be filed and approved by the Undergraduate Student Services Office no later than the end of the third week of instruction.
Students are expected to complete satisfactorily at least 36 units in any three consecutive terms while in residence; they are placed on probation if they fail to pass these units. They are subject to dismissal if they fail to pass at least 32 units in three consecutive regular terms while in residence.
Admitted Public Health majors may petition to change from the BA to the BS (or BS to BA). Petitions must be submitted to the Undergraduate Student Services Office for consideration. Public Health majors in good academic standing who wish to change to a major outside the school must consult with the department or committee in charge of the desired major. Admission to certain majors may be closed or restricted. Changes are not normally permitted if students are not in good academic standing or have begun their last term.
Students who fail to attain a grade-point average of 2.0 (C) in preparation for the major or major courses may be denied the privilege of entering or continuing in that major.
Students returning to UCLA to resume their studies after an absence must consult with an academic adviser for assistance.
Enrollment at a non-UC institution or UCLA Extension while enrolled at UCLA is not permitted except in extraordinary circumstances. No credit is given for courses taken concurrently elsewhere without the approval of the school.
The following credit limitations apply to all undergraduate students. In many cases, units are not deducted until the final term before graduation. Students with questions should consult with an academic adviser.
Transfer students with credit from other institutions (advanced standing credit) receive a Degree Audit from Undergraduate Admission indicating the transferable units from former institutions; however, the following credit limitations may reduce the total number of transferred units that apply toward the degree in the school. Consult with an adviser about these limitations.
After completing 105 quarter units toward the degree, students are allowed no further unit credit for courses completed at a community college.
No more than 4 units in physical education activities courses may be applied toward the bachelor’s degree.
No more than 8 units of credit may be taken per term in upper-division tutorials numbered 195 through 199, and a maximum of 32 units may be applied toward the degree. All courses numbered 199 must be taken for a letter grade.
Undergraduate students who wish to take courses numbered in the 200 series for credit toward a specific degree requirement must petition for advance approval of the program chair. Courses numbered in the 300, 400, and 500 series are not open for credit to undergraduate students.
