Class Listing Abbreviations

For definitions of class listing abbreviations and format as arranged in the PDF Schedule, see the Class Listings section of the PDF file.

ID Number. The nine-digit course identification (ID) number is used for class enrollment. URSA informs if there are multiple parts required (e.g., lecture and discussion). In courses with multiple format types, there is a primary section (e.g., lecture) and a secondary section (e.g., discussion). Enrollment is through the secondary section. To view class details online, select the ID number.

Type--Class Type. Class type indicates the teaching format of the course.

ACT (Activity):	Students develop technical or creative skills such as painting, music, drama, or design.
CLI (Clinic):	Students learn professional skills by actual practice involving patients or clients.
CNF (Conference):	Students and faculty interact through small classroom sessions involving substantial class participation.
DEM (Demonstration):	Students take part in presentations and exhibitions involving substantial class participation.
DIS (Discussion):	Students and faculty interact through small classroom sessions that involve substantial class participation.
FLD (Fieldwork):	Students participate in short or extended field trips or in other types of nonclassroom settings.

TUT (Tutorial):	Students meet individually with faculty to review work that each student conducts independently.
TVI (Televised Instruction):	Students view material that has been prerecorded.

Sec--Section Number. A section number indicates particular class offerings. A class may have multiple class types which must be taken together, such as lecture and discussion or lecture and laboratory.

Primary sections are numbered sequentially (e.g., Lec 1, 2, 3). If a course has secondary sections, they are numbered with the corresponding primary section number followed by a letter (e.g., Dis 1A).

Sections which may be associated with several other sections are indicated by the section number prefixed with a capital "M." Combinations include courses with secondary sections associated with several primary sections and courses with multiple primary sections and multiple secondary sections.

Days. Days of the week are abbreviated as follows.

M	Monday
T	Tuesday
W	Wednesday
R	Thursday
F	Friday
S	Saturday
U	Sunday
TBA	To be arranged (time was not available at publication; contact the instructor or department)
UNSCHED	No regular meeting time (consult the instructor)
VAR	Class meetings vary throughout the week and quarter (consult the instructor)

Time (Start, Stop). Start and Stop indicate when classes are held. Minimum class meeting time is 50 minutes.

Bldg--Building. Building indicates the location of the class. See the building name chart for building names and abbreviations.

Rm--Room Number. The room number indicates the location of the class in a building.

Res't--Restriction. Enrollment restrictions limit enrollment to certain groups such as majors and/or class levels (e.g., seniors). If the restriction is satisfied, a PTE number is not required.

Other restrictions require department or instructor consent. A PTE number is required for enrollment.

#En--Number Enrolled. Number enrolled indicates the number of students enrolled in a particular class or section.

EnCp--Enrollment Capacity. Enrollment capacity indicates the maximum number of students allowed to enroll in a class or section and is subject to departmental change. Sometimes the number of students enrolled meets or exceeds the enrollment capacity. When you attempt to enroll and the capacity is full, you are informed of the wait-list size and your possible wait-list position.

#WL--Number on Wait List. The number on wait list indicates the number of students currently placed on a wait list for enrollment in a class.

Note: When choosing to be on a wait list, you should consider your "effective wait-list position." The effective wait-list position is determined as follows:

	Number of students enrolled above the enrollment capacity
+	Number of students on the wait list
+	1

	Effective wait-list position

For example, if a class has an enrollment capacity of 30 and there are 35 enrolled and there are 5 on the wait list, your effective wait-list position would be 11. Eleven students would need to drop before you would be automatically enrolled.

WLCp--Wait-List Capacity. Wait-list capacity indicates the number of students allowed on a wait list for a class.

Status. Status indicates the availability of a class: open for enrollment, closed as capacity is reached or exceeded, or cancelled.

Glossary

Catalog Number. The catalog number is used to identify particular courses. Courses numbered 1-99 are undergraduate lower division, 100-199 are undergraduate upper division, 200-299 and 500-599 are graduate level, 300-399 are professional teacher training, and 400-499 are other professional courses.

Concurrently scheduled courses (identified by a capital "C" before the catalog number) are pairs of courses, usually within a single department or program, for which credit is given at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Concurrently scheduled courses are offered at the same time and place with the same instructor, but work levels and performance standards are evaluated differently for students at each level.

Multiple-listed courses (identified by a capital "M" before the catalog number) are courses of the same format and level offered jointly by more than one department. For example, Language in Culture is offered by the Department of Anthropology (Anthropology M140) and the Department of Linguistics (Linguistics M146).

Course Materials Fees. Course materials fees include the Materials Use fee and the Instructional Enhancement Initiative fee. A Materials Use fee is charged for certain undergraduate courses to cover the costs of materials and supplies for a class. Undergraduate non-tutorial courses in the College of Letters and Science and undergraduate courses in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have a course materials fee called the Instructional Enhancement Initiative fee which provides web-based enhancements for courses. The Materials Use fee and the Instructional Enhancement Initiative fee are assessed as of Friday of the fourth week of classes and are billed through BAR.

Course Requisites. Course requisites are requirements or recommendations associated with a course. Requisites can have different levels of enforcement. The categories of requisites include

Requisites
Enforced Requisites
Corequisites
Preparation
Recommended

Enforced requisites are course requirements that can be monitored by the Student Records System prior to enrollment. There are two levels of enrollment enforcement: warning and enforced. If a requisite is at the enforcement level, enrollment is prevented if the requirement has not been satisfied. If a requisite has a warning level, the student will be informed the requisite has not been met, but enrollment is permitted. Only requisites with specific course numbers can be enforced. A requisite such as "one course in economics" could not be enforced, but "Economics 11" could be.

Corequisites are requirements for courses that must be taken at the same time.

Preparation requirements for courses are requirements such as placement tests for language. They appear only in the course description and are not enforced or searchable by the Student Records System. Enforcement is at the instructor or departmental level. (Note exceptions: some placement requirements such as Analytical Writing and Mathematics are specially coded for enforcement during enrollment.)

Course Title. The course title describes the subject matter of the course. Some courses have subtitles or section titles which define a specific topic or focus for the course. A 19-character abbreviation of the course title is printed on the transcript.

Credit Type. Credit type is indicated by the following grading detail codes.

Blank	Letter grade or P/NP (In the Schedule of Classes and URSA, classes with an optional grading basis are displayed as blank--no abbreviation appears in the credit type column. The default grading basis for such classes is Letter grade. See the Enrollment section for regulations on changing grading basis.)
G	Letter grade only
NG	Non-graded section of a multiple-part course
PN	Passed/Not Passed
SU	Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
T1, T2, T3, T4	A two-, three-, or four-term course (In Progress) in which no credit is granted until the completion of the series
TP	A multiterm course with a final grade of Passed or Not Passed
TS	A multiterm course with a final grade of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory

Examination Code. The code number indicates the examination period for the course final, which is generally based on the meeting time of the lecture section (see Final Examinat ions). Examination code information is available through URSA. Be sure to check your examination codes prior to finals week.

Do not enroll in courses that have conflicting meeting times as this creates a conflict in examination times. You must discuss any conflict with both instructors and may have to change sections or drop the course to avoid the conflict. Faculty members may use their discretion to establish ground rules for attendance, missed examinations, late term papers, or any other means of evaluation for the course.

Impacted Courses. Courses that meet certain criteria and have been approved by the Faculty Executive Committee of the College or schools are designated as “impacted” courses. Students cannot drop an impacted course after the second week of a term for other than exceptionally extenuating circumstances. For more information, see "Impacted Courses" in the Enrollment section.

Instructor. The faculty member responsible for a course is listed with last name and first initial. "The Staff" indicates an instructor was not assigned as of publication.

Units. Unit value is the workload credit given for a course. It is generally the same as credit toward a degree, except that some courses, such as English A, AP, 2P, 3P, may have less degree credit and/or no credit toward a degree (check the course description in the UCLA General Catalog). The unit value of a multiple-part class series is listed with the primary section.
