As an Education and Social Transformation major, you will have access to most education courses before any other students. All Education courses that are on the approved list of courses for the major will be open to major students during the first and second pass. Please review the “Undergraduate Course Enrollment Rules” section of this website for details.

EDUC 100, EDUC 120, EDUC 150, EDUC 156, EDUC 180 and EDUC 181 are only open to students in the Education and Social Transformation major. 

Yes, you can submit a petition to apply a course that is not on the approved list towards the major requirements. Please note that approvals  are not guaranteed and may be denied. Students are only allowed a maximum of 1 substitution for the major requirements. 

Please note that requests for substitutions for EDUC 100, EDUC 120, EDUC 150, EDUC 156, EDUC 180 and EDUC 181 are not allowed and will automatically be denied.

To petition a course, a student will need to submit the General Petition and the full syllabus for the course. The course syllabus should include the learning objectives, the list of topics that will be covered, the assigned readings and the required assignments that must be completed. A course description will not be sufficient. The petition and syllabus will be reviewed by the faculty committee to determine if the course can satisfy a major requirement. 

The full list of enrollment deadlines for Fall, Winter, and Spring are available on the Registrar’s Office website. We have listed below the most commonly used deadlines.

Fall, Winter, & Spring

• The deadline to add a course on MyUCLA is Friday of Week 3 of the term. 
• The deadline to drop an impacted course on MyUCLA is Friday of Week 2 of the term.
• The deadline to drop a non-impacted course on MyUCLA is Friday of Week 4 of the term.
• The deadline to change the grading basis/credit detail of a course on MyUCLA is Friday of Week 6 of the term. 

Enrollment deadlines for the summer vary depending on the length of the course that the student is taking. For those deadlines, it is best to refer to the UCLA Summer Sessions Calendar or consult with the UCLA Summer Sessions office directly. 

After the deadline has passed, a student can submit a petition to request an exception to the deadline. For more information about the petition process, students can send a MyUCLA Message or stop by drop-in advising hours to speak with an advisor.

Important notes: 

• Add or drop petitions are not guaranteed approval and may be denied. 
• Add or drop petitions include a portion of the form that must be completed by the instructor of the course. 
• Drop petitions may not be submitted for courses where the students has already completed a final. These petitions will automatically be denied if submitted. 
• Poorer or better than expected performance in a course is generally not sufficient justification for an exception.

After the deadline has passed, a student can submit a petition to request an exception to the deadline. For more information about the petition process, students can send a MyUCLA Message or stop by drop-in advising hours to speak with an advisor.

Important notes: 

• Change of grading basis petitions are not guaranteed approval and may be denied.

All UCLA students have access to the Degree Audit Report (DAR) via their MyUCLA. The Degree Audit Report allows a student to track their degree progress. Follow the steps below to run a Degree Audit Report.

1. Log in to https://my.ucla.edu/.  
2. Open the Academics Tab and click Degree Progress/Audit Report link. Click continue on the next page to open the page for the Degree Audit System. 
3. Click the Run Audit button to generate a new audit. 
4. On the next page, you can click the Run Declared Programs button to generate a new audit. Audits may take up to 10 seconds to generate. 
5. Once the new audit has been generated, you can click view audit to review your academic progress. 

Tips:

• Always generate a new audit when reviewing your academic records to ensure that you are viewing the most current information. 
• Most majors and minors have multiple modules on the DAR so make sure you are checking all of them. 
• If you have any questions or concerns about anything on your DAR, please see an Ed&IS Undergraduate Advisor/Counselor.  

If your IGETC or UC Reciprocity is not appearing on the DAR, it is likely because your certification has not been sent to UCLA. To verify whether they have been sent to UCLA, students can meet with an Ed&IS Undergraduate Advisor/Counselor who can check the student’s records. 

IGETC/CalGETC: For some Community Colleges, the IGETC or CalGETC verification is separate from the official transcript. If that is the case, students must complete a separate process to have the IGETC or CalGETC sent to UCLA. 

CalGETC: Students who have completed CalGETC must still complete the Foreign Language requirement since it is not included.  

UC Reciprocity: Since General Education and School Requirements can vary between campuses, an official UC Reciprocity letter must be requested from the previous UC. Transcripts or student records will not be sufficient. 

If a student is unable to obtain verification of their CalGETC, IGETC or UC Reciprocity, they will be held to UCLA requirements. 

A Partial IGETC is only granted to students from a California Community College who are missing 1-2 courses from completing IGETC. Students who are missing more than 2 requirements are not eligible for a Partial IGETC. First-year Admit students are not eligible for Partial IGETC.

Students who have a partial IGETC should meet with an Ed&IS Undergraduate Advisor/Counselor to verify what they are missing and to discuss what they can take at UCLA to complete the IGETC. Once the student has satisfied their remaining IGETC requirements, the Ed&IS Undergraduate Advisor/Counselor can update their academic record. 

It is strongly recommended that students meet with an advisor before attempting any courses to complete their Partial IGETC. 

If a student does not complete their partial IGETC, then they will be held to UCLA General Education and School requirements. 

Students who have earned CalGETC may satisfy the Foreign Language requirement by doing 1 of the following:

1. Present an official high school transcript that verifies that they completed two years of high school foreign language with a grade of C or higher in the second year
2. ETS (AP) exam; 
3. Present a UCLA foreign language proficiency examination score indicating competence through Level 2 or above
4. Completing one college-level foreign language course equivalent to Level 2 or above with a grade of “Passed” or “C” or better (a grade of “C-“ is not acceptable).
