Important Dates
Friday of Week 10 (Dec. 5)
• Week 8-10, Non-Impacted Restricted Late Drop DEADLINE, Maximum of 3 in
career, verifying no final taken, $35 fee
December 19 Registration fee payment deadline for Winter 2009
Restricted Drop Petition (Green)
If you need to drop a non-impacted class between Weeks 8-10 of a regular term, you will
need to submit a Restricted Late Drop
Fee: $35.
Effect on Transcript: There will be a transcript notation indicating the course and the week dropped.
Example: Economics 1 Course dropped—Week 9
Please note the following: If you are dropping more than one (1) non-impacted
class between Weeks 8-10, you must meet with a full time counselor in your L&S Advising Unit
before approval will be granted. If you have already dropped three (3) non- impacted classes
between Weeks 8-10 and need to drop an additional class, you will need to submit the Red Drop Petition.
Please submit the Red Drop Petition. Be aware that approval is rarely granted. Make sure that before you
submit the petition form that your instructor marks “NO” to the question: Has the student completed or
attempted to complete the course by finishing or attempting petition to your UCLA College Advising Unit.
Be aware that students are restricted to three (3) restricted late drops during their academic career.
NOTE: A restricted drop is not to be confused with a withdrawal from all classes for the entire term. Withdrawing from
the quarter is when no final has been taken in any course. There is no deadline for a withdrawal provided
no finals were taken and student has not graduated.
Excess Unit Requests
You will not be able to petition for extra units until January 2, 2009 with the
exception of graduating students needing excess units W ’09 to graduate and students taking four
class exceeding 19 units. This delay is intended to help more students find open classes and
facilitate enrollment. An overall and previous term GPA of 3.0 is still required.
If you need help picking classes for Winter quarter, this is a great time to think ahead and
see your counselor for help. Make sure you are consulting an academic counselor in YOUR
Academic Counseling unit!
