SUPPLEMENTARY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
In addition to the regular academic programs that are described in the Curricula and Courses section of this catalog, the following optional programs are available to UCLA's undergraduate and graduate students.
Each year more than 1,700 undergraduate and graduate students from UC campuses study at distinguished universities throughout the world through the Education Abroad Program (EAP). UCLA students remain registered here while overseas and receive UC units and grade points for work completed abroad.
Currently, EAP offers study opportunities at more than 100 different universities in 34 countries: Australia, Austria, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Vietnam.
Participants can spend up to a full academic year abroad, enjoying a unique opportunity to enhance language skills, take courses in their major, and become involved in the culture of the host country. One-term programs are available in Austria, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and Thailand. Summer programs are offered in Denmark and Mexico. In Costa Rica there is a one-term tropical biology field study program, and field study programs are available in Mexico.
For all programs a special orientation program and, when necessary, intensive language training are included. During the year UC faculty members at the host university assist with scholastic or personal problems.
EAP is open to all undergraduate students who have (1) at least a B average (3.0 GPA) overall at the time of application and (2) the support of the UCLA EAP Selection Committee. Some programs have a language requirement as well. Most programs require junior standing (90 units minimum) at departure; seniors and transfer students are welcome.
Graduate students who have completed at least one year of graduate work and have the approval of their graduate adviser and the dean of the Graduate Division may participate at most study centers.
Costs for participation in EAP vary, but University financial aid and special EAP scholarships are available to those who qualify. Applications must be filed several months in advance. See http://www.isop.ucla.edu/eap.

Throughout the summer, UCLA offers more than 500 courses from approximately 60 UCLA departments in six-, eight-, nine-, and 10-week sessions. Many students take advantage of Summer Sessions to enroll in courses they were unable to take during the year, repeat courses in which they may have done poorly, lighten their academic load for the following term, or complete graduation requirements more quickly.
Admission to Summer Sessions does not constitute admission to the University in either undergraduate or graduate standing. Students who wish to attend UCLA in regular session must follow admission procedures described in the Undergraduate Study and Graduate Study sections of this catalog.
Regularly enrolled undergraduate students may attend UCLA Summer Sessions for full unit and grade credit. Summer Sessions work is recorded on the UCLA transcript, and grades earned are computed in the grade-point average. Check with the College or school counselor about applying these courses toward degree requirements and about any limitations the College or school may impose on Summer Sessions study. Financial Aid funds are available to UCLA students.
Regularly enrolled graduate students may, with departmental approval, take regular session courses offered in Summer Sessions for credit toward a master's or doctoral degree; consult the graduate adviser in advance concerning this possibility. Summer Sessions courses may also satisfy the academic residence requirement for master's or doctoral degrees.
Unlike enrollment in regular terms, students may attend another college institution for credit while they are enrolled in Summer Sessions. Registration information is available in 1147 Murphy Hall. See http://www.summer.ucla.edu. 310-794-8333
With over 100,000 adult student enrollments each year, UCLA Extension is one of the largest university continuing education programs in the world. It is designed to bring the benefits of the University--its scholars, research, and resources--to the community and the state as a whole.
Many of UCLA Extension's 4,500 classes are innovative and experimental in content, format, and teaching methods. Credit and noncredit courses are offered in nearly every academic discipline, in many interdisciplinary areas, and in emerging fields.
In addition, Extension offers special programs each term on topical issues as well as those of ongoing public concern. Many noncredit Extension courses offer the opportunity to earn Continuing Education Units, widely used for relicensure and other professional/career-related purposes.
Although registering for Extension courses does not constitute admission to regular session, degree credit earned through Extension may apply toward the UCLA bachelor's or master's degree; consult a College or school counselor or graduate adviser before enrolling. For more information, refer to UCLA Extension under Transfer Credit in the Academic Policies section of this catalog.
The Extension Advisory Service offers assistance in planning long- or short-term study through Extension. The office is located in 114 UCLA Extension Building, 10995 Le Conte Avenue. See http://www.unex.ucla.edu. 310-206-6201
