Detailed information on registration (fee payment) and enrollment procedures is contained in the quarterly Schedule of Classes, available for purchase at the Students' Store several weeks before the beginning of each term. To obtain a copy by mail, write to ASUCLA Students' Store, 308 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1645, Attn: Mail Out. Include a check or money order payable to ASUCLA for $5 (Fall Quarter) or $4.50 each (Winter and Spring Quarters).
Registration consists of paying fees and enrolling in classes. The UCLA Billing Statement, mailed monthly to your UCLA mailing address by the Student Accounting Office, is used to pay registration fees and other University charges. Enrollment in classes is completed through URSA (University Records System Access). You must complete both processes by the established deadlines to be officially registered and enrolled for the term.
Payment is required of all eligible students by the applicable deadlines. Payments may be mailed or deposited in the Main Cashier's Drop Slot (1125 Murphy Hall). Payments submitted after the published deadline must be made in person at 1125 Murphy Hall and will be assessed an additional $50 late payment fee. Students on financial aid may be eligible for a waiver of the $50 fee if funds are delayed by the University.

UCLA requires, as a condition of registration, that all international students on nonimmigrant visas have adequate medical insurance coverage during all periods of enrollment.
UCLA offers a student Medical Insurance Plan (MIP) which fulfills the requirement. For undergraduates the MIP fee appears as a voluntary option to be added each term to the amount due on the UCLA Billing Statement. This is the only method by which MIP can be purchased.
You are required to provide written proof of adequate medical insurance coverage in response to an annual written notice from the Student Health Service (SHS) Insurance Office.
If you do not purchase the UCLA Medical Insurance Plan, you must have an adequate private medical insurance plan that provides all of the following minimum benefits:
(1 ) A minimum of $50,000 in "Lifetime Maximum" benefits.
(2 ) At least 75 percent of the cost for eligible medical expenses, with no more than a 25 percent out-of-pocket cost to you (patient copayment).
(3) A claims representative located in the U.S. In addition, you must be provided with an identification card (or reasonable alternative) written in English, which includes payment provisions listed in U.S. dollars and the U.S. telephone number of the U.S. claims representative.
If your private medical insurance plan does not meet all of the above requirements, you must purchase MIP. For further information on MIP or adequate medical insurance requirements, call the SHS Insurance Office at (310) 825-1856.
The quarterly Schedule of Classes contains up-to-date listings of class times, meeting rooms, instructors, and all information necessary for enrolling in classes. Using the Schedule and with the aid of academic counseling from your school or college advisers, you can assemble a program of courses (see Choosing Your Major and Planning a Program later in this section).
You should plan two or three alternate programs in case your first choice of courses is not available. You may not choose two courses in the same final examination group and should not select classes that conflict in meeting times. If conflicts are unavoidable, consult with the instructor of each course at the first class meeting.
URSA (310-208-0425) enables all UCLA students to acquire information via a touch-tone telephone from their University academic records stored on the Registrar's Student Records System computer database.
URSA allows you to process your class enrollment, to obtain course confirmation (i.e., a reading of your Study List, including day/time, location, examination code, instructor name), UCLA grades for any completed term, GPA, completed units, and outstanding holds (i.e., restrictions from receiving services), to confirm registration fee payment and Registration Card mailing, to update or review selected student information ("degree expected term," telephone number, residence hall address, privacy release, ethnic-based mailing option, and ethnic background), and to change the security code used to access URSA.
URSA is operational Monday through Saturday from 5 a.m. to midnight, including holidays. You may access the system for grades, GPA, units, and holds information for up to 10 years after your graduation or your last term of attendance. If you have outstanding holds, you will be informed at the beginning of your call.
By using URSA, you can enroll in classes, add, drop, or exchange classes/sections, put yourself on the wait list for a class, add a class using a PTE Authorization Number, change the grading basis for a class (i.e., Passed/Not Passed), obtain a reading of your Study List, check your wait-list position, and obtain instructor names for all courses. You enroll during your assigned appointment periods, which you also obtain by calling URSA. Consult the Schedule of Classes for full enrollment details.
For classes that require written approval or specialized processing, you may enroll at computer terminals at 1113 Murphy Hall Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
At 7 p.m. on Friday of the second week of instruction the Study List of enrolled courses becomes "official," and all wait lists are eliminated. You should obtain a reading of your Study List through URSA after all enrollment transactions. You are responsible for all courses and the grading basis as listed on URSA, and you cannot receive credit for courses not listed. Errors or omissions should be corrected before your academic dean's deadline for changes by petition. Unapproved withdrawal from or neglect of a course entered on the Study List will result in a failing grade.
Beginning with the third week of instruction, changes to your Official Study List require an Enrollment Petition which is available for purchase in the school supplies section at any ASUCLA Students' Store. Approval signatures are required before processing. If you add a special studies (199) course, you must also bring an approved copy of the Petition for Enrollment in Special Studies 199 Course. Consult the Schedule of Classes for deadlines and complete instructions. Note: When retroactive approval is given, in exceptional cases, to drop a course or to change the grading basis, the course and action will appear on the official transcript.
Changing your college/school or major requires the approval of the college/school or department you want to attend. Applications for change of college/school are made by petition, which is available without charge from your college or school office. Change of major petitions are available from the department you want to attend. You may not change majors after the opening of the last term of your senior year.
