DEGREESStudents must satisfy (1) University requirements, (2) College or school requirements, and (3) department requirements as described in this catalog. Undergraduate degree requirements are subject to the following degree policies. It is the responsibility of students to keep informed of and to comply with the rules, regulations, and policies affecting their academic standing. Meeting academic deadlines, monitoring the Study List for accuracy, completing requisites, and fulfilling degree requirements are all part of their academic duties as students. The grades A through C and Passed denote satisfactory progress toward the bachelor's degree. The grades C− through D− yield unit credit but may not satisfy certain scholarship requirements. Even when they do, they must be offset by grades of C+ or better in other courses. Students must earn at least a C (2.0) average in all courses taken at any University of California campus. Students who fail to maintain this level may be placed on academic probation or may become subject to dismissal. The College and each school may set additional scholarship requirements. Students are placed on probation if their overall or term grade-point average falls between 1.5 and 1.99. While they are on probation, they may not take any course on a Passed/Not Passed basis. Probation ends at the close of a regular term if students have attained a C (2.0) average for the term and a cumulative C average in all University work. Students who do not end probation within two terms are subject to dismissal. Students are subject to dismissal from the University under any of the following conditions: 1. If their grade-point average in any one term is less than 1.5 or 2. If they do not earn at least a C (2.0) average in any term when they are on probation or 3. If they do not end probation within two terms If students are subject to dismissal, their transcripts carry that notation. They should make an appointment with their College or school counselor. Depending on the situation, they are given conditions for continuation or are dismissed from the University. UCLA is a full-time institution, and it is expected that students complete their undergraduate degree requirements promptly. Normal progress toward graduation in four years is defined as the completion of 45 units per year, or 15 units per term. The College and each school enforces minimum progress regulations. Students may be subject to disqualification for failing to meet minimum progress requirements. See the College and Schools section for specific minimum progress and Study List regulations. A petition is a form submitted to explain an exception from any standard rule or regulation of the University. It is the only way to obtain formal approval from the department, the College or school, the Registrar, or office with authority over the particular request. Some petitions carry a fee. Some of the uses of petitions are to change the College, school, or major; take more or fewer units than regulations permit; make changes to the Study List after URSA processing ends; or obtain credit by examination. In addition, students may petition for concurrent enrollment, double major, or waiver of scholarship requirements. Students who take courses at a college or university other than UCLA should consult a College or school adviser about Articulation Agreements to determine how the courses will transfer. Articulation Agreements are lists of transferable courses from institutions other than UCLA. Once students complete the courses, they must have the other institution send transcripts to Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools (UARS), 1147 Murphy Hall, Box 951436, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1436. They must also go to UARS to submit a Transcript Locator Card (also known as a Transfer Credit Evaluation Request) to initiate a credit evaluation. Transfer students should discuss transfer credit with their College or school counselor and/or departmental adviser. The maximum number of community college units allowed toward the bachelor's degree is 105 quarter units (70 semester units). The UCLA UARS does not grant transfer credit for community college courses beyond 105 quarter units, but students may still receive subject credit for this coursework to satisfy lower division requirements. Consult the College or school counselors for possible further limitations. To convert semester units into quarter units, multiply the semester units by 1.5 -- for example, 12 semester units × 1.5 = 18 quarter units. To convert quarter units into semester units, multiply the quarter units by .666 -- for example, 12 quarter units × .666 = 7.99 or 8 semester units. Summer Sessions grades at any UC campus other than UC Santa Cruz (unless the letter-grade option is elected at UCSC) are computed in the UCLA grade-point average. Students who wish to receive degree credit for work taken through UCLA Extension should take courses that correspond in number to the undergraduate courses offered in regular session. The designation XL or XLC before the number of the Extension course signifies that the course is equivalent to the regular session course bearing the same number. Grades earned by Arts and Architecture and Letters and Science undergraduate students in courses prefixed by XLC are computed in the UCLA grade-point average. No degree credit is given for courses numbered X300 through X499. Remember that concurrent enrollment in Extension and regular session is not permitted. Anytime prior to graduation students may request a review of degree progress. These official degree checks detail requirements remaining to complete the bachelor's degree. The degree check process is different for the College and each school. College of Letters and Science The Degree Progress Report (DPR) serves as the degree check. The DPR is an assessment of all degree requirements and the courses taken to fulfill them. View and print DPRs through URSA OnLine or order one at a College counseling office (Academic Advancement Program, 1209 Campbell Hall; Honors Programs, A311 Murphy Hall; Letters and Science Counseling Services, A316 Murphy Hall). Students should review questions about their DPR with departmental undergraduate advisers or College counselors, as appropriate. Students who entered UCLA prior to Fall Quarter 1988 should consult their College counseling office. School of the Arts and Architecture Degree Progress Reports are available via URSA OnLine as well as on request from the Office of Student Services, 1100 Dickson Art Center. Students should consult an adviser in the Office of Student Services when they have questions about degree requirements or when they print a DPR. Questions regarding major requirements should be referred to the departmental counselor. Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science Students at a high sophomore level and above must submit a "satisfied" Academic Program Proposal to the Office of Academic and Student Affairs, 6426 Boelter Hall. All engineering students may pick up a Graduation Evaluation Report at 6426 Boelter Hall. The report outlines each category requirement for an engineering degree and the courses completed for each category. Students may schedule an appointment at the Office of Academic and Student Affairs to have an official degree check completed one term prior to their graduation term. Students may initiate a request for an updated degree check by contacting the student services coordinator in the Student Affairs Office, 2-200 Factor Building. School of Theater, Film, and Television Students entering as freshmen receive a written degree check on achieving junior standing. Students entering as juniors receive a degree check on entry. Students may initiate or request an updated degree check by making an appointment with their departmental counselor in the Student Services Office, 103 East Melnitz Building.
