Key Academic Dates and Deadlines

All deadlines are at 5:00PM Pacific Time (PST) unless otherwise indicated.

2024 Session Dates

Payment Deadlines

Starting June 21, payment is due immediately for all sessions to avoid drops for non-payment or financial holds. If there is an outstanding BruinBill balance, it may result in all courses being drops and/or financial holds.

For UCLA students only, if you enroll and then drop to 0 units without re-enrolling, there is a non-refundable $150 processing fee.

Dismissed/withdrawn UCLA students and UCLA students graduating in Spring 2024 or earlier will be coded as visiting students. 

Students who are waitlisted for a course must also submit full payment to avoid being dropped. The student will be automatically dropped and refunded should a spot not become available by the first Friday of the course.  

UCLA and other UC financial aid students may be eligible for a payment extension in the event aid does not disburse by the payment deadline.
