2010-2011 Department of Economics Undergraduate Scholarships
On behalf of generous donors, the Department of Economics is now
accepting applications for 2010-2011 academic year scholarships. Most
scholarships are in the amount of $5,000 each and require you to be a
Department of Economics student.
If you would like to apply, you must submit your completed application
no later than Friday, June 25, at 4:00 p.m. No late applications will
be accepted. To complete an application, please go to
http://www.econ.ucla.edu. Click on the Undergraduate link and then the
Scholarship link.
We have received a relatively small number of applications in the past,
so we definitely encourage you to apply. Your GPA is not the only
criteria we look at. When you write your essay, please make sure that
you let us know what activities you have been involved in and how you
can differentiate yourself from the other applicants. Students whose
essay indicates only that they need the money do not have as high of a
possibility of being selected.
We want to direct your attention to a particular scholarship, the
Jeffrey W. Baus ’59 Scholarship. This scholarship is open only to
students with a 3.0 to 3.5 cumulative UCLA GPA and a desire to pursue a
career in accounting. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask
one of the counselors in 2263 Bunche.

UCLA CAMPUS ACADEMIC REGULATIONS: Incompletes
Incomplete Policy
The instructor may assign the “incomplete” grade when work is of passing
quality but is incomplete for good cause. Assigning an “incomplete” is
at the discretion of the instructor, who is not obligated to do so.
If an instructor issues a grade of “incomplete,” the remaining
coursework must be finished by the end of your next completed quarter
(Fall, Winter, Spring). If the course is not completed, the “Incomplete”
will automatically lapse to an “F”.
It is your responsibility to discuss with the instructor the conditions
and timeframe for completing the course by the next regular term. Do
not re-enroll in the course!
If you cannot remove the “incomplete” within the allowed time frame, you
must petition the College to request an extension of time.
