Enrollment and Registration
UCLA Students
Enroll using URSA. Enrollment begins February 1, 2008.
Visiting Students
Enrollment in regular UCLA courses for non-UCLA students begins March 3, 2008. Enroll with the Online Registration Form. No transcripts are required. International students may also call or visit one of our international registration centers which can process all forms and collect fees in local currencies. The form is also available for downloading.
New students who use the Online Registration Form will be required to submit a $100 nonrefundable deposit by credit card ($400 for international students). For help with completing the Online Registration Form, please contact Summer Sessions at (310) 825-4101.
Once you complete the Online Registration Form, you will be issued a UCLA ID. You will use your ID to obtain a UCLA logon. The UCLA logon will allow you to enroll in your classes and make changes to your program using URSA (University Records System Access).
If you already have a UCLA logon, you may use URSA to enroll. Be sure to update your address, e-mail, and phone number if necessary.
International Students
All international students must submit additional information that cannot be collected over the Internet and must be faxed or mailed to us. International students may also call or visit one of our international registration centers, which can process all forms and collect fees in local currencies. Please see the International Students section for more information.
Registration and Fees
Registration is completed when all fees are paid. The payment schedule varies according to when you enroll. See the Payment section for details. If full fees are not paid according to the payment schedule, courses may be dropped and a hold placed on your records according to University policy.
It is your responsibility to verify your Summer Sessions enrollment status. Do not anticipate that the University will automatically drop you from a class due to nonpayment or nonattendance.
Adding or Dropping
You may add or drop courses by using URSA or a Student Update Form. You are responsible for securing approval signatures when required. Submit your completed form to the Registrar's Office, 1113 Murphy Hall. No acknowledgment will be mailed. The update is usually processed within two days. You may then verify your program change by checking URSA.
Adding or Dropping Courses before the Session Begins and during the First Week of Class
No approvals are required unless noted in the Schedule of Classes. If the change affects your fee, you will be assessed the appropriate amount by BAR. Full payment of all fees must be submitted according to the payment schedule.
Adding Courses after the First Week of Class
Beginning the second week of each session, you may add courses by:
1. Using URSA with a Permission to Enroll (PTE) authorization number from the instructor or
2. Submitting a Student Update Form with an authorized signature for each class
being added to 1113 Murphy Hall.
If the change affects your fees, you will be assessed the appropriate amount by BAR. Full payment of all fees must be submitted according to the payment schedule.
A late fee of $100 will be assessed for each course added after the second week of each session. The instructor's approval in the form of a signature on the Student Update Form is required.
If you are a regular UCLA student and exceed your study load limit, you must obtain approval from your respective school or college.
Dropping Courses after the Session Begins
During the first four weeks of a six-week class, all students may drop using URSA. Beginning the fifth week, all drops require a Student Update Form with the instructor's signature certifying that the course work was not completed. The form must then be submitted to the Summer Sessions office in person. You may verify your program changes via URSA.
You are not dropped from a course or relieved of financial responsibility if you fail to attend classes, stop payment on your registration or course fee check, reverse your credit card charges, or if your check or credit card is not honored by the bank.
Please consult our refund policy.
If you enroll in any UCLA Summer Sessions course(s) and later withdraw (drop all classes), you will be charged a $100 nonrefundable processing fee even if you drop before the classes begin. You will not be charged the $100 fee as long as you remain enrolled in at least one class.
A course may not be dropped or removed from your record if you complete, or attempt to complete, the final examination.
Wait Lists
Enrollment in most courses is unlimited prior to the first day of the session. Courses with enrollment limits close when enrollment reaches the limit (see the “EnCp”, Enrollment Capacity, column in the Schedule of Classes), but students may place themselves on a wait list when it is available. Often additional sections will be added as the wait list is filled to capacity.
Students who are not automatically enrolled in a class from the wait list by 5:00 PM on the first Friday of the session will be dropped from the wait list and their course fees refunded. If it is a student’s only class, all registration and processing fees will also be refunded.
Please Note: The $100 processing fee will not be refunded to students enrolled in only one course who drop off the wait list prior to the first Friday resolution date.
Students can resolve their wait list status prior to the end of the first week by:
1. Enrolling through URSA using the Permission to Enroll (PTE) number the department or instructor provides; or
2. Presenting a Student Update Form with an authorized signature or PTE number at the Registrar's Office, 1113 Murphy Hall; or
3. Exchanging the wait-listed course for another course prior to the end of the first week of the session.
Students may verify their enrollment status in a particular course by using URSA.
