Please read the course description before enrolling in any Intensive Studies course to ensure that you have fulfilled the requisite(s).

For UCLA students, MyUCLA will automatically check to see if the enforced requisites have been met. Students wishing to complete more than one Summer Intensive Studies course may complete a Student Update Form and email the form to info@summer.ucla.edu to enroll.

For all other students, if you have had experience comparable to the listed requisite, you may enroll. Transcripts or proof of completion of a requisite course is not required for visiting Summer Sessions students.

The SIS format is highly intensive. While students can take multiple SIS courses during the summer, we do not recommend taking more than one SIS course simultaneously.

UCLA Students

College of Letters and Science students, both undergraduate and graduate, may take a maximum of 18 units per summer. All other UCLA students may take a maximum of 16 units.

If you wish to exceed your study load limit, you must obtain approval from your respective school or college.

Non-UCLA Students

Visiting non-UCLA students may take a maximum of 18 units per summer.
If you are an international student for registration purposes, you are subject to I-20 requirements. Unless you add Academic Courses, enrolling in one SIS course is considered full time for the 3-week period. Please see the International Student Page for more information.

UCLA students can enroll in a Summer Intensive Studies course online via MyUCLA using the Class Planner or Find a Class and Enroll function starting February 1. Submission of a deposit is not required for UCLA students. However, the processing fee of $150 will be assessed if all summer courses are dropped regardless of whether instruction has begun.

2021 Refund Deadlines for Summer Intensive Studies

Enrolled students are expected to complete all assigned coursework, take all examinations, attend class regularly, and submit all required work by the end of the session. No part of the coursework may be continued beyond the close of the course unless prearranged by the student and the instructor. The work of all students at UCLA is reported in terms of grades. Instructors are required to assign a final grade for each student enrolled in a course.

For more information on UCLA’s grade policy, visit the Registrar’s website.

Some courses offer the option to choose from either letter grading or P/NP (S/U if you have your bachelor's degree), while other courses stipulate a specific grading basis. For classes that only have one grade type, you will not be able to change the grading option.

Courses with both the letter grading and P/NP or S/U option will be assigned a letter grade by default unless you specify your grade type to be otherwise.

Courses taken for P/NP or S/U might not count toward graduation requirements. Please be sure to consult an academic adviser before taking courses on the P/NP or S/U basis.

Courses with optional grading basis can be changed on MyUCLA until the following deadlines:

UCLA is on the quarter system. As a general guide, a semester unit is worth 1.5 quarter units (e.g., 4 quarter units = 2.5 semester units).

UCLA courses are generally accepted for transfer credit, but all decisions on transferability rest with the home institution.

Students should receive approval of course transferability from the home institution in advance before enrolling in UCLA Summer Sessions.

The transcript is a permanent record that reflects all undergraduate and graduate work completed at UCLA. It lists courses, units, grades, cumulative grade-point average, transfer credits, total units, and work in progress in chronological order.

Ordering a transcript can be done online through MyUCLA. Those requiring expedited or special delivery can submit a Transcript Request Form (PDF). Transcript Request Forms can be downloaded online here or picked up at 1113 Murphy Hall between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday – Friday.

Requests are not processed if students have outstanding financial, academic, or administrative obligations to the University.

NOTE: Current or newly admitted UCLA students will have their grades appear on their UCLA transcript immediately after grades are submitted by the course instructor. Current or newly admitted visiting UC students will have their grades appear on their home UC campus's transcript in October or November.
