Find answers to common questions about UCLA Economics Summer Sessions for undergraduate and visiting students, including enrollment, eligibility, course formats, grading, deadlines, and program logistics.
Why should I take Summer courses at UCLA?
Smaller class size, in-state tuition for all students regardless of residency status, and the ability to complete your degree in a timely manner or even early are among the many reasons you should consider taking Summer Session courses at UCLA.
The course I want to take has a prerequisite that I will complete in the Spring Quarter. Can I still enroll in the course?
You must enroll in the prerequisite course first. Then you can enroll in your desired Summer course.
I am taking an Economics course in Summer Session A that is a prerequisite for an Economics course in Summer Session C. Can I take both courses?
Yes, but you will need to contact our Academic Program Coordinator, Ed McDevitt, for assistance. Because Summer is considered as one term in the enrollment system, Ed McDevitt in the Economics Department will need to enroll you into the Summer Session C course. This can only be done after you have enrolled in the Summer Session A course.
How many units can I take during the summer, as a UCLA student?
UCLA students may take a maximum of 18 units during the summer.
How do we park on campus?
All students commuting and parking on campus must secure a parking permit. During the Summer Session period, space is less impacted and we do not have a Parking Application. Permits are limited and sold to both commuter and dorm students on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students may visit the Bruin ePermit Portal to purchase a Summer Session permit directly. If you choose to get a permit, we suggest parking in P3 or P4.
Can I live on campus if I am taking UCLA summer courses?
This is very likely. For more information, please contact UCLA Housing.
What does it cost to attend Summer Session?
This varies, depending on your student status and the number of units you take. For more information, visit www.summer.ucla.edu/fees
How do I contact the UCLA Summer Sessions Office?
