UCLA Graduate Catalog 1980-81 - Registrar - UCLA

22 / GENERAL INFORMATION AND REGULATIONS
Satisfactory /Unsatisfactory graded courses
outside the major may apply, if the course
itself is applicable to degree requirements.
With the exception of 500 series courses and
any courses outside the major under the
statement above , S/U graded courses are not
applicable to University or Senate-approved
departmental minimum course requirements
or to academic residence requirements for
graduate degrees (see also Individual Study
or Research Courses, page 20).
Program changes involving a change to or
from S/U grading may not be made after the
regular deadline for adding courses (see
Calendar, page viii).
Removal of " I" (Incomplete)
Grade
The grade I (Incomplete ) is assigned when a
student's work is of passing quality but is
incomplete for good cause . If a student
wishes to receive an Incomplete grade, the
"Request for Granting of Incomplete Grade"
form should be obtained from the instructor
or departmental office . The student completes
the upper portion of the form (name,
student number , course , quarter, and reason
for request). If the instructor agrees to granting
the Incomplete grade, he/she signs the
form and stipulates the conditions to be
satisfied for removal of the I grade . A grade I
(assigned after July 1, 1972) will not be taken
into account in calculating the grade point
average . The student is entitled to have the
grade I replaced by a passing grade and to
receive unit credit and grade points providing
he/she satisfactorily completes the work
of the course by the end of the next full quarter
that he/she is in academic residence in regular
session following the quarter in which the I
was received . If the work is not completed by
the end of the next quarter of residence, the I
grade will automatically be replaced with the
grade F or U (Unsatisfactory ) as appropriate.
On the other hand, it is not necessary for a
student to be registered at the time he/she
completes the work to remove an I grade.
The work for a course for which the I grade
has lapsed to an F or U may, with the permission
of the instructor , be completed in a subsequent
quarter and the appropriate earned
grade assigned . Until that time, however, the
F or U grade will appear on the student's
record and be calculated in the grade point
average . A student filing to remove an I
which has lapsed to an F or U follows the
procedures for removing an I grade described
below. When the grade is assigned by the instructor
, the Registrar will remove the lapsed
F or U and replace it with the earned grade.
While completing the conditions for removal
of the I grade, the student obtains "Petition
for Removal of Incomplete Grade" forms at
the departmental office , completes a petition
for each course (name , address, instructor,
course , quarter), submits it to the instructor
for signature , pays the $5 fee (one fee for all
petitions submitted together ) at Main
Cashier, 1125 Murphy Hall, and files the
petition with the Registrar at Information
Window " A", Murphy Hall.
The "Petition for Removal of Incomplete
Grade" should be filed not later than the
sixth week of instruction in the next quarter
of registration after the Incomplete grade was
assigned . Course work must be completed by
the end of the quarter to avoid lapse to grade
F (see UCLA Grading Regulations , page 21).
When the required work has been completed,
the instructor fills out the " Petition for
Removal of Incomplete Grade," on which the
final grade is entered, and attaches the original
of the "Request for Granting of
Incomplete Grade" and forwards both to the
Registrar. The grade I cannot be removed
until both forms are received by the
Registrar.
Summer Sessions
Enrollment of prospective graduate students
in Summer Session courses does not constitute
admission to graduate status in the
University , which is possible only through
application for graduate admission during
the regular academic year . This is true also
for students readmitted to graduate status
who wish to resume their study in Summer
Sessions.
Graduate students should register continuously
in the Fall, Winter , and Spring
Quarters . Enrollment in either Summer Session
does not constitute a substitution
requirement of continuous registration.
for the
Students who wish to enroll in Summer Session
courses and apply them to requirements
for graduate degrees or University -recommended
credentials should consult in
advance with their departmental graduate
advisers concerning this possibility.
Academic Residence . Enrollment in two sixweek
Summer Sessions (must be consecutive
for doctoral candidates ) counts as one
quarter of residence provided the candidate
is enrolled in each session for the equivalent
of at least two units of upper division and/or
graduate work as given in a regular quarter.
Enrollment in an eight -week Summer Session
counts as one quarter of residence provided
the candidate is enrolled for the
equivalent of at least four units of upper division
and /or graduate work as given in a
regular quarter . Academic residence that is
earned through enrollment in Summer Sessions
is limited to one-third of the degree
requirements.
Course Credit . Regular session courses
offered in Summer Session at UCLA by regular
faculty qualify automatically for credit toward
a higher degree . Regular session
courses offered in Summer Session at UCLA
by visiting faculty may apply , provided the
chairperson of the department so recommends
, in advance , to the Graduate Dean.
Summer Session courses offered elsewhere
may not apply , unless approved in advance
by the Committee on Instruction and Degree
Requirements of the Graduate Council.
Recommendations for such credit should be
made by the department chairperson of the
students involved.
Applications and information on course
offerings may be obtained from the Office of
Summer Sessions , Room 1254 Murphy Hall.
Credit by Examination
Graduate students in good standing may
petition to the appropriate instructors, the
department , and the Dean of the Graduate
Division for permission to take courses for
credit by examination , up to a maximum of
three courses . To be eligible for this privilege
a student must be registered in graduate
status at the time of the examination . Credit
earned by examination may be applied
toward the minimum course requirements
for master 's degrees , but it cannot apply to
academic residence requirements for
master 's and doctoral degrees.
Forms for this purpose are available in the
Student and Academic Affairs Section of the
Graduate Division . There is a $5.00 fee for
each credit by examination petition.
Registration and Enrollment
Procedures
Registration
Registration is the payment of fees, enrollment
in classes and the filing of various
informational forms. Students' names are not
entered on official rolls of the University
unless the registration process is complete as
published by the Registrar in the Registration
Circular and the Schedule of Classes. Students
who fail to complete and file all forms by the
established deadlines may be delayed or even
prevented from receiving credit for work
undertaken.
Registration is divided into two equal, but
separate processes . Registration materials
(the "registration packet") are issued by the
Registrar and include cards for payment of
the term fees and a Study List Card for
requesting enrollment in classes . When fee
payment and enrollment are complete, students
are considered duly registered and
enrolled for the quarter.
Registration by Mail . In advance of the
quarter , the registration process may be completed
through the mail . All eligible students
are encouraged to register by mail . " Registration
packets " for currently registered students
are available approximately the fifth
week of the preceding term . Dates and place
of packet issuance is announced in the campus
newspaper , the Daily Bruin and on official
campus bulletin boards . New and reentering
students eligible to register by mail
(see Calendar ) will receive the "registration
packet " in the mail from the Registrar
approximately six weeks before the quarter
begins . Complete instructions and envelopes
