Full Answer
A grade of C or better is required to earn a Passed; a C- or below will earn a Not Passed grade. A grade of C- may satisfy many requirements (e.g., General Education, elective) but a Not Passed grade will not earn any credit or satisfy requirements.
Full-time enrollment During fall, winter, and spring quarters, a full-time course of study is 12 units of UCLA and/or UCLA Extension courses. Most UCLA and UCLA Extension courses carry four units of credit, so you will usually be able to enroll in three 4-unit courses. This is a normal course load for most students.
Grade points are used to calculate the overall Grade-Point Average (GPA) of course work completed in a program of study leading to degrees, certificates, and other academic testimonials. The grades of A+ and A are weighted with 4.0 grade points, A- = 3.7; B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7; C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7; etc.
It's difficult in the really big classes, but UCLA has been around for a long time, and so they mostly have it down when it comes to getting what you want out of your education. The academic requirements, however, can be rigid and hard to deal with, especially if you want to try and craft you own major. Then, beware!
12Enrollment Status A study list of 12 or more units for registered undergraduate students, or 8 or more units for registered graduate students, is considered full-time status for enrollment reporting, insurance, intercollegiate athletics, and financial aid purposes.
Regardless of where you are in your academic journey, it's safe to say that UCLA is a stressful place.Oct 4, 2016
At UCLA, all of your assignments and final grade for each course will come in a form of a letter grade A,B, C, D, or F. An “A” being the highest grade possible and “F” meaning you failed the course.
An A+ letter grade is equivalent to a 4.0 GPA, or Grade Point Average, on a 4.0 GPA scale, and a percentage grade of 97–100....List of Common GPA Conversions.Letter GradePercent Grade4.0 GPA ScaleA+97–1004.0A93–964.0A-90–923.7B+87–893.38 more rows
UCLA Extension uses a grading scale of +/- A, B, C, F, S, U for all professional level courses. This means that for all courses, the “D” grade no longer exists and a grade of C- and above is considered passing.
I guess the answer is yes, it's possible, but it's very difficult and pretty unnecessary. In order to maintain a 4.0, you have to earn straight As and A+s (no A-s!) for four years of your UCLA career.Apr 2, 2021

With a GPA of 3.9, UCLA requires you to be at the top of your class. You'll need nearly straight A's in all your classes to compete with other applicants. You should also have taken plenty of AP or IB classes to show your ability to excel in academic challenge.
At UCLA, officially, pass/fail classes are graded on a Pass/Unsatisfactory/No Credit (P/U/NC) basis rather than merely “pass or fail.” A “Pass” has no effect on a student’s GPA but an Unsatisfactory grade is treated like a “D” for GPA purposes, while a No Credit grade is treated like an “F.” There are no limits on the number of classes a student may take on a P/U/NC basis. However, students who are seeking to graduate Order of the Coif (top 10%) must have 75% of their units earned in letter-graded classes. In addition, classes are already designated as letter-graded or P/U/NC prior to enrollment which means a student cannot make a class pass/fail if it is designated as letter-graded (classes are what they are! ☺ ).
Students may elect to turn no more than one course (up to 4 units) during their second and third years into a P/U/NC class, after seeing their letter-grade in the class. That is, if a student received a grade of “C” in Admiralty Law, as long as they meet the P/U/NC deadline, they can change that grade from a “C” to a “Pass.” This option may not be used for first year curriculum courses as listed in the Academic Standards, even if a student completes one of these courses in the second or third year. The above option applies to courses in which letter grades would otherwise be assigned. If the election is exercised:
January Term, or “J-term” was created to offer a wide choice of short, specialized courses that offer the opportunity to delve deeply into skills training or explore doctrinal subject matter at a depth that one cannot do in the regular semester format. Students register for J-Term and the Spring Semester at the same time, thus your “pass” for Spring Semester will also count as your “pass” for J-Term. For all functional purposes, the J-Term is treated as part of the Spring Semester; it is a mini-term within the Spring Semester.
ADD: Generally, students may not add a class after the fifth day of instruction. Under present practice, the Dean of Students may permit a student to add a course through the fourth week of classes, provided the student has instructor permission and presents a reasonable explanation for not having met the deadline. After the fourth week, students must petition the Standards Committee for a late schedule change; the petition will only be granted if the student can demonstrate “unusual circumstances.”
Please fill out this form if you’d like to petition for an elective. Include all the information you can, including a syllabus, if available. Petitions will be reviewed at least once per quarter. Please email Kerry Allen if you have additional questions.
