UCLA Summer Institutes and Special Programs

Academic Policies

Enrollment Information

Enrollment and registration are separate processes. Summer enrollment occurs first, when a student signs up for a class. The student is registered when fees are paid. Course enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Enrolling Up to and During the First Week of Classes: Students are guaranteed enrollment in any Summer Sessions course, except for limited-enrollment courses that have reached their limit, and courses that require instructor or department consent to enroll when that requirement is specifically noted.

Enrolling During the Second Week of Classes: Instructor consent is required for all enrollmentsduring the second week of each session. Enrollments after the second week of each session may also require college approval in addition to instructor consent.

Enrollment for Revenue Sharing Enrollment as of the end of the fourth week of the session determines the revenue for a specific course. Students must be enrolled by the end of the fourth week of each session to be counted. Therefore, it is even more important than ever for instructors to ensure that their rosters are accurate before the end of the fourth week of the session.

Adding and Dropping Courses

Before the Session Begins: No approval is required unless noted in the schedule or on our Web site.

After the Session Begins: The instructor's signature or a PTE is required for each course being added during the second week of the session. The instructor's signature is required for each course being dropped beginning the fifth week of the session to confirm that the student did not take the final examination.

Study List and BruinCard Students can verify their course enrollment, class times and locations, and final grades via URSA OnLine. Students should see the BruinCard Web site for information about obtaining a BruinCard.

Staff Discount Information

Summer Sessions will waive the registration fee for eligible UCLA and ASUCLA staff employees. To qualify, an applicant must be either a 50% time or more career staff employee or a full time casual staff employee of UCLA or ASUCLA, and must have worked for the University for at least six months prior to the beginning of the session in which they desire to enroll.

UCLA students do not qualify for this discount.

To apply for the discount, send an e-mail to enroll@summer.ucla.edu. The staff discount cannot be applied to special programs such as Travel Study programs.

Department Sponsorship

Departments desiring to pay a student's fees may do so by reimbursement, or by paying fees directly through BAR using an account they establish with the Financial Aid Office.

To be reimbursed, students pay their own fees, and after the session is over and satisfactory completion of the course(s) is demonstrated, the department prepares a reimbursement in the PAC system.

Fees may also be paid directly through BAR if the department has the appropriate financial aid account. For information about paying student fees through BAR, contact the Financial Aid Office for undergraduates, or Graduate Student Support for graduate students.
