Overview 

Most Luskin undergraduate courses (public affairs, urban planning, gerontology, social welfare, and public policy) offer a wait list option. If a course is at capacity and has a wait list option, you can add yourself to the wait list via MyUCLA Class Planner. Please note the following information about waitlists: 

  • You can learn more about wait lists on the UCLA Registrar’s Office website.
  • Adding yourself to the wait list does not guarantee enrollment in the course nor does it guarantee that you will receive a PTE number to enroll.   
  • Once a wait list reaches capacity you will not be able to add yourself to the wait list. 
  • Wait lists are maintained through Friday of Week 2 of the quarter. After Friday of Week 2, the University will automatically drop students who are on the wait list.  
  • Monitor your place on the wait list regularly to ensure your enrollment reflects your intended study list.
  • Have a back-up class in case you are unable to get off the wait list 
  • Enrolling late in a course may impact your progress in the course. If you intend to enroll in a course after the start of the quarter, we strongly recommend that you consult the instructor prior to enrolling to determine if enrolling late will impact your progress in the course.

Questions?

For questions about enrollment and wait lists for Luskin undergraduate courses, please contact the Public Affairs Undergraduate Program via MyUCLA Message Center.

PTE Overview and Request Form

PTE numbers are available for most lower and upper-division Luskin undergraduate courses (public affairs, urban planning, gerontology, social welfare, and public policy). Be advised that PTE numbers are subject to the course’s enrollment capacity, thus, PTE requests are NOT guaranteed approval.

You can submit a PTE number request to the Luskin School of Public Affairs Undergraduate Program by completing the PTE Number Request Form after your second pass begins and no later than Friday of week 2. The Public Affairs Undergraduate Program will begin reviewing PTE requests on the first day of the quarter. Because of this processing timeline, we strongly encourage you to closely monitor enrollment capacities and enroll in the course if a seat becomes available. Do not contact instructors to request PTE numbers as instructors will instruct you to submit the PTE Request Form.

Beginning the first day of the quarter, please allow 3-4 business days to process your PTE number request. After we receive your PTE request, if approved, a Public Affairs academic counselor will issue your PTE number via MyUCLA Message Center. Students will receive a response to their PTE request no later than Friday of week 2.

If you receive a PTE number, it is your responsibility to enroll in the course via MyUCLA by the study list deadlines as outlined on the UCLA Registrar’s Office website (linked here).

Questions about PTE requests should be directed to the Luskin School of Public Affairs Undergraduate Program via MyUCLA Message Center.

PTE Processing Timeline for Spring 2024 Enrollment

The Public Affairs Undergraduate Program will begin reviewing PTE requests for Spring 2024 courses during week 1 (April 1, 2024). Beginning the first day of the quarter, please allow 3-4 business days to process your PTE number request. Because of this processing timeline, we strongly encourage you to closely monitor enrollment capacities and enroll in the course if a seat becomes available. Students will receive their PTE outcome via MyUCLA Message Center no later than Friday of week 2.

Enrollment Restrictions for Winter 2024 Courses

Most Spring 2024 Luskin undergraduate courses (public affairs, urban planning, gerontology, social welfare, and public policy) will have the enrollment restrictions noted here. Students who are not officially declared as a Public Affairs major or pre-major or as a Luskin minor will have access to enroll in Luskin undergraduate courses beginning February 29, 2024 at 9am (PT), space permitting.

Overview

Students can change discussion sections via MyUCLA without a fee or petition through Friday of week 2 of the quarter. Section changes during week 3 and no later than Friday of week 3, are possible with department approval. Be advised that section changes during week 3 may require a PTE number even if the course is open.

All discussion section changes must be completed by Friday of week 3. After Friday of week 3, students must petition to change sections and approval is not guaranteed.

Changing Discussion Sections When the Course is Open

Students can change discussion sections for open courses on their own via MyUCLA through Friday of week 2. To change discussion sections, the course and preferred/intended discussion section must be open.

If the student’s preferred discussion section is full and the wait list is open, dropping their current section and adding themselves to the wait list will not automatically enroll the student in the course. In these cases, the student will be placed on the wait list and will be dropped from the wait list after Friday of week 2 if they are unable to fully enroll in the course.

Discussion section changes during week 3 require department approval. Discussion section changes after Friday of week 3 require a petition and approval is not guaranteed.

Changing Discussion Sections When the Course is Full

If a course is full, students cannot change discussion sections as this will over-enroll their preferred/intended section. Students can submit a PTE request for their preferred discussion section but approval is not guaranteed. Students can access the Public Affairs Undergraduate Program PTE Request Form here.

If the student’s preferred discussion section is full and the wait list is open, dropping their current section and adding themselves to the wait list will not automatically enroll the student in the course. In these cases, the student will be placed on the wait list and will be dropped from the wait list after Friday of week 2 if they are unable to fully enroll in the course.

Discussion section changes during week 3 require department approval. Discussion section changes after Friday of week 3 require a petition and approval is not guaranteed.

Swapping Discussion Sections with a Classmate

If two students are enrolled in the same course (same lecture) and they want to exchange/swap discussion sections, the students must follow the steps below:

  1. Contact the TAs for both sections and confirm with the TA that you wish you swap sections.
  2. Provide the TAs with your full name, student ID number, course number, current discussion section, proposed discussion section, and preferred email.
  3. The TA/instructor will email the students’ information to the Director of Student Services for the Public Affairs Undergraduate Program. The Director of Student Services will manually process the section change.

Please note that swapping sections with another student is possible only if both students are fully enrolled in the course (i.e. not on the wait list) and neither student has holds on their record that restrict enrollment.

Questions?

For questions about changing discussion sections, contact the Public Affairs Undergraduate Program via MyUCLA Message Center.

Overview

Contract courses are any courses numbered 95, 99, 188, or 195-199. The Luskin School of Public Affairs offers undergraduate contract courses in Public Affairs, Urban Planning, Gerontology, Social Welfare, and Public Policy. To learn which course is most appropriate for you, read the course descriptions on the Registrar’s Office website. 

Students who wish to enroll in a contract course must have a faculty sponsor. We recommend that you begin contacting potential faculty mentors the quarter prior to your intended enrollment in a contract course.  You can view the Luskin faculty and contact information on the Luskin faculty webpage.

Deadline to Enroll in a Contract Course

The deadline to enroll in a contract course without a fee is Friday of Week 2. You may enroll in a contract course during Week 3 with department approval. After Friday of Week 3 you are required to submit a Late or Retroactive Add Petition to enroll in any course, and approval is not guaranteed.  

How to Create and Enroll in a Contract Course

To enroll in a contract course, students must create the course via MyUCLA and the department hosting the course must processes the final enrollment step. To create and enroll in a contract course, follow these steps: 

  1. Identify your faculty mentor/sponsor. Meet with your faculty mentor to outline their expectations for the contract course, the assignments you are expected to complete, and the frequency of your meetings. You will need this information in order to create the contract course. We recommend exploring Luskin Faculty here
  2. Create the contract on MyUCLA > Classes > Contract Courses. Follow the prompts to select the correct term/year, department, course number, instructor, unit value, grading basis, and course proposal.
  3. Email your course contract to your faculty mentor, and obtain the required faculty mentor signature. 
  4. Submit your completed and signed course contract to the Public Affairs Undergraduate Program via MyUCLA Message Center by Friday of Week 2. 
  5. A Luskin undergraduate academic counselor will review your course contract and enroll you in the course. Please note the following:
    1. If you have holds on your record that restrict enrollment, you must resolve or defer those holds before your contract course can be processed by the Public Affairs Undergraduate Program.
    2. If enrolling in the contract course will cause you to exceed the 19 units for the term (or, 18 units for the summer), you must petition and be approved to receive excess study list units before your contract can be processed by the Public Affairs Undergraduate Program.  
  6. After a Luskin undergraduate academic counselor enrolls you in the course, you will receive an enrollment confirmation via MyUCLA Message Center. Please review your study list to ensure your enrollment is accurate.
