of academic units that the course carries. An Instructional
Enhancement Initiative Fee (IEI) is charged on a per-unit basis to courses offered
by the UCLA College of Letters and Sciences and the School of Engineering and
Applied Science. UCLA students wishing to enroll in individual academic courses
must register through URSA, the university's
online records system. All other students begin their registration process here.
Students taking online courses are not assessed campus and registration fees ($59, $300, or $700 depending on their status). Students who enroll in online courses and later withdraw (drop all classes) are charged a $100 non-refundable processing fee even if they drop before classes begin.
