UCLA is a full-time institution, and it is expected that students complete their undergraduate degree requirements promptly. In order to encourage on-time graduation and support a quality education that is accessible, undergraduate students in the College are allowed to enroll through spring or summer of their fourth year (for students admitted as first years) or fall of their third year (for students admitted as transfers). Students may request an exception from their academic advising unit by submitting a petition for additional time if needed based on documented extenuating circumstances.
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 College Academic Counseling, Academic Advancement Program, Honors Programs, and CAC-Athletics Counseling assist students with College requirements, degree planning, and Degree Audits on request. Students can also view the Degree Audit through MyUCLA.
During a regular term of enrollment, undergraduate students in the College are required to enroll in a minimum of 13 units. Students are also required to meet cumulative progress unit expectations as outlined in the expected cumulative progress table.
The following courses count toward minimum progress and expected cumulative progress, as well as any other degree requirement, but are exempt from the maximum unit limit of 216:
