Graduate courses numbered 200–299 are generally open only to graduate students who have completed basic undergraduate courses in the subject. Courses and seminars in the 200 series can fulfill the minimum graduate course requirement for any advanced degree.
Courses numbered 1 to 99 are considered lower division (freshman/sophomore); those numbered 100 to 199 are considered upper division (junior/senior). X 1 to X 199. These courses are structured in accordance with requirements for UCLA undergraduate courses, but include subject matter not part of the regular undergraduate curriculum.
200-299 graduate courses. What does the M mean before a course number? An “M” in front of a course number means the class is listed in two or more departments (M = multiple listed). Example: Anthropology M151 is the exact same class as Gender Studies M151. ... University of California, Los Angeles Box 951553 Los Angeles, CA 90095 Related Sites.
Class Levels. A class level designation applies to all students. Undergraduate levels, based on units, affect enrollment appointments and some course restrictions. Graduate levels are based on degree standing. Class level is based on units completed and in progress, not years attended.
Course descriptions are approved by the Academic Senate and maintained by the Registrar’s Office. To browse courses by subject area, click on the subject name.

Undergraduate concurrent enrollment courses (i.e., UCLA regular session undergraduate courses in which UCLA Extension students may concurrently enroll) are transferable for unit, subject, and grade-point-average credit toward the Bachelor's Degree at UCLA's College of Letters and Science, School of the Arts and Architecture, and School of Nursing. Learn more about Concurrent Enrollment.
Courses numbered 1 to 99 are considered lower division (freshman/sophomore); those numbered 100 to 199 are considered upper division (junior/senior). These courses are structured in accordance with requirements for UCLA undergraduate courses, but include subject matter not part of the regular undergraduate curriculum.
These courses are equivalent to undergraduate courses offered by the UCLA regular session. All XL courses are transferable for unit and subject credit toward the bachelors degree at all campuses of the University of California. Up to 36 units of credit earned in the XL 1-199 course series can be accepted for unit and subject credit toward a bachelor's degree at any campus of the California State University system (CSU). Courses numbered 1 to 99 are considered lower division (freshman/sophomore); those numbered 100 to 199 are considered upper division (junior/senior).
Generally post-baccalaureate credit-bearing courses and lecture series in professional fields; designed in content, focus, and presentation style to standards of instruction used in degree programs. Credit earned in these courses may lead to the award of formal certificates by UCLA Extension, and may be transferable for advanced standing in degree programs in professional studies elsewhere, subject to the procedures of the receiving institution.
Professional credit-bearing courses in the field of education, specially designed for teachers and prospective teachers. Major emphasis is on pedagogy, teaching methods and materials, and curriculum design. Credit earned in these courses may lead to advanced standing in baccalaureate degree and teacher credentialing programs.
Special enrollment requirements for courses numbered 1 to 99, 100-199, and 900-999: In lower division instruction (1-99), students must be high school graduates with a "B" average or one year of college, or consent of instructor based on special attainments (i.e., a superior high school record, special competence in a particular subject matter area, or other recognized criteria). In the upper division (100-199), two years of college or consent of instructor based on special attainments is required. There are no age limitations or restrictions in preparatory and high school level instruction (900-999).
Up to 36 units of credit earned in the X 1-199 course series can be accepted for unit credit, subject and grade credit toward a bachelors degree at any campus of the California State University system (CSU).
The same way to get credit for any course taken outside of UCLA. See the undergraduate advisor, fill out a petition, and attach a copy of the syllabus. The department does not pre-approve or guarantee beforehand that a course will satisfy a specific requirement. After 1-2 weeks within turning in the petition, students should check their Degree Progress Report (DPR) or Degree Audit Report (DARS) to see if the course substitution has been applied to the requested requirement. Otherwise, students will receive an email specifying why the petition has been denied.
Students attending EAP and non-EAP study abroad programs can petition to have modified senior residence, with 35 of the last 90 units earned in residence at UCLA.
Permission to Enroll number. It’s a 5 digit code that will allow students to enroll into the desired course. Each department and/or faculty member will handle the distribution of PTE numbers differently. In Anthropology the faculty member, not the staff, will issue PTE numbers. If a class requires a PTE number, contact the professor.
What does the M mean before a course number? An “M” in front of a course number means the class is listed in two or more departments (M = multiple listed). Example: Anthropology M151 is the exact same class as Gender Studies M151. The class is taught at the same time, in the same room, by the same instructor.
A “C” in front of a course number stands for ‘concurrent’. This is when an undergraduate and graduate level course is taught at the same time. Example: Anthro C144 and Anthro C243P.
It is recommended that transfer students take three classes during their first quarter at UCLA, with at least two Anthro courses . If all the Prep classes for the major have NOT been completed, it is recommended that they take them as early as possible. It is not mandatory to take all the Prep classes before enrolling in upper division Anthro courses.
After 1-2 weeks within turning in the petition, students should check their Degree Progress Report (DPR) or Degree Audit Report (DARS) to see if the course substitution has been applied to the requested requirement. Otherwise, students will receive an email specifying why the petition has been denied.
Class Restrictions. Enrollment may be limited to students who have attained a certain class level or declared a specific major or minor, or may require department or instructor consent. Most class restrictions are related to class level or major.
A PTE number is issued at the discretion of the instructor or department offering the class. When used with the nine-digit course ID, it guarantees enrollment. Inquire at the respective departmental office regarding internal department procedures for receiving a PTE number.
The department or instructor offering the class may authorize selective enrollment if the enrollment capacity is filled. This is at the instructor’s discretion and may only be approved based on criteria established by the instructor and/or department.
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! ☺ ).
COURSES AT UCLA—Upon approval of the Dean of Students, candidates for the Juris Doctor degree are permitted to take, during regular law session only, two courses in UCLA departments other than the School of Law for a maximum of six semester units of Law School credit. (All quarter unit courses will convert to semester units at the following rate: 1 quarter unit = 0.75 semester units).This option is not available to joint degree students, or to students on probation or subject to special requirements (see Sections V.B and V.C).A course so taken must be supplementary to a student’s legal studies and the prior written approval of the Assistant Dean for Students must be obtained.Such outside courses must be graded on an “A, B, C, D” or “F” basis, and the grade of “B-” or better in the outside course and satisfactory completion of the law course are required in order to receive units and proportional residency credit toward the Juris Doctor degree. The outside course with the earned letter grade will appear on the transcript.In addition, when the course is applied for law credit, the grade of “B-” or better is recorded on the academic record as a Pass and no grade points are calculated into the grade point average.
Joint degree students do not have a 16-unit limit so that they may enroll into courses offered by both departments. Access MyUCLA during your enrollment appointment times (available in your enrollment email or on MyUCLA). Note that you share your Appointment Beginning Time with about 200 other law students.
1 unit = 42.5 hours of work for the semester (at least 3.5 hours per week for 13 weeks)
In all outside courses, a grade of “C+”, “C” or “C-“ will be treated by the School of Law as the grade of “D” for all purposes. Units earned outside the School of Law during the Fall quarter apply to the law course load requirement for the Fall semester in the same calendar year.
The enrollment times have been divided into four groups, A through D, Group A being the earliest enrollment time period and Group D being the latest enrollment time period. Students are randomly assigned to each one of the four groups during the four semesters which comprise their second and third years of law school.
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:
UCLA students may repeat up to 16 units of GRADED coursework in which they receive a grade of C- or below. If you repeat a course that you took for a letter grade, you MUST choose the same grading option when you repeat it. The same is not true for Passed/Not Passed courses (see below). A course may be repeated only once. Although only the second grade earned (for better or worse) will be computed into your GPA, both grades will remain on your transcript.
If all courses are taken Passed/Not Passed, students will not have a GPA at the end of the quarter, which may affect Financial Aid or scholarships . Please check with Financial Aid and Scholarships if you have any questions.
The Passed/Not Passed grading option is designed to give you the opportunity to explore areas of possible academic interest outside of your area of expertise without jeopardizing your GPA.
In order to receive a Passed, you must achieve a grade of C or better. Work done at the level of C- or below will be given a Not Passed and you will earn no units toward graduation.
The “ I” grade has no effect on the GPA of the term in which it was taken. A student receives units and grade points for the course after all the coursework has been completed. The actual grade appears on the transcript and DPR in the term in which the work was completed. At this time the grade points and units are averaged into the cumulative GPA (NOT the term GPA).
If you are planning to satisfy multiple requirements with one course, please check the grading standards for each requirement and select the most rigorous standard.
If for some reason, you are not able to remove the incomplete within the next completed quarter, you should petition to extend the time for removing the incomplete. This request requires a UCLA College Blue Petition and a note from the professor agreeing to the extension. You must specify the exact date by which the work will be completed, what work remains to be done, and why you were unable to complete the work within the allotted timeframe. As with any petition, however, there is no guarantee of approval.
