Instructions for Fall 2006

Am I eligible to enroll in English 197/199?
A student must have advanced Junior standing and at least a 3.0 G.P.A. in his or her major field, or must have Senior standing. The student is responsible for demonstrating to the instructor that he or she has adequate background and ability to complete the proposed plan of study.

What evidence of work will I need to show?
Turn in a copy of your final paper to the Undergraduate Counseling office (Humanities 158/160) no later than Friday of Finals Week. We must have your work on file in order to submit your grade.

How many units can I earn?
The value of one unit constitutes three hours of work by the student per week per term, or the equivalent. For example, a two-unit course constitutes six hours of work per week during the term. Likewise, a four-unit course would require twelve hours of work per week from the student. Consult the catalog course descriptions to determine the number of units for the course. http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/catsel.asp

How do I enroll?

1. Complete the 197/199 contract form: The contract form must be filled out before you can obtain approval for an upper-division tutorial course. You do not need to specify the nine-digit course ID on the form--this section will be filled out by a counselor.

2. Obtain signatures: Obtain the signature of the English faculty instructor who will be supervising your study and assigning you a grade at the end of the term. Also, obtain the signature of the vice chair of the department, Professor Lowell Gallagher, by placing the form in his mailbox in the main office (Humanities 149) or by seeing him during his office hours.

3. Professor Gallagher will forward your form to the counseling office for processing. If your form is completed and signed by the end of Week 2, a counselor will enroll you in your 197/199 class. If your form is completed after Week 2, Professor Gallagher will leave the form in the counseling office for you to pick up and take to the Registrar's Office to enroll.

When is the deadline to enroll?
The deadline to enroll in an Upper-Division Tutorial Course (195-199) without a fee is Friday of the second week of classes, and with a fee, Friday of the third week classes. Late add procedures apply after third week.

Where can I find the contract forms for Upper-Division Tutorial Courses (195-199)?
The contract forms can be found on your MyUCLA page under MyUCLA Features. See the Contract Courses link: https://be.my.ucla.edu/specialstudies/default.asp. Directions for filling out the contracts are included with each form.
