If you are a Samueli Engineering student who was dismissed from UCLA or repeatedly in academic difficulty and hope to return to undergraduate study as an Engineering major, then BEFORE your return to undergraduate can be considered you must have: taken at least two terms of a full-time Engineering course load (e.g. 2 of 3 courses in the Math/Science/Engineering/Computer Science subjects) at another school/college/university other than UCLA and earned grades of “A” or “B” for consideration (unless advised otherwise by your OASA Academic Counselor). An online course will only be considered from an institution that has corresponding on-campus offerings of the same course at the same institution. Taking courses at an overseas university will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Taking at least two terms of a full-time Engineering course load for readmission purposes does not guarantee return to undergraduate study; students may be required more course work beyond the minimum. Students can either choose to do two terms of new work or three terms of remedial material. If you have nothing new to take, you may repeat courses that you need to relearn. HOWEVER, please note that repeating a UCLA course at another school will NOT replace the UCLA grade). Application of all course evaluation results toward Samueli Engineering degree requirements is subject to UC transferability requirements. Courses taken at accredited schools with content that is consistent with that which is offered at UCLA are typically accepted as UC-transferable.

Once your grades for the courses you took have all been posted, please submit your official transcripts for all coursework to:

transcripts@seas.ucla.edu

Note: Effective for students admitted fall 2017 and later, after completing 105 lower-division quarter units toward the degree in all institutions attended, students are allowed no further unit credit for courses completed at a community college or for lower-division courses completed at any institution outside of the University of California. Please refer to the UCLA Admissions website regarding transferring credit.

Students admitted prior to fall 2017,  consult with an OASA Counselor about the credit limitations.

Refer to Assist or Transferology Lab for assistance in finding courses that are transferable to UCLA. It is the students job to verify if a course is transferable. If unsure please refer to our Course Evaluation process. 

If you are a Samueli Engineering student who was not in good academic standing when you last attended UCLA, but were NOT dismissed nor in repeatedly academic difficulty, please complete the Samueli Engineering Return Request Form and then your records will be reviewed to determine return to undergraduate study eligibility. Please note that if you were a student who was subject to dismissal when last enrolled at UCLA you may be required to take course work at another school before return to undergraduate study is considered.

If you are a Samueli Engineering student who when last enrolled in UCLA had ongoing challenges that interfered with your academic performance, you will need to file a written appeal explaining how you have made progress to remedy the root cause of the issue. Provide any support materials that help to demonstrate that you are now able to handle a reasonable course load and have the ongoing support needed in order to return to school and be successful.

Students who, in their last quarter, had a status of “Subject to Dismissal,” “Probation,” “Withdrew,” and/or received C- or lower grades in their last registered term may be subject to at minimum one term of outside coursework to be considered for return to undergraduate study.

Additionally, if you are approved to return, you will be encouraged to utilize UCLA services as appropriate to your support needs such as:

Complete UCLA Return to Undergraduate Study process

If you are a Samueli Engineering student who wishes to return to UCLA,but to a major OUTSIDE of Engineering (e.g. Math) contact College Academic Counseling regarding possible options to return to undergraduate study directly to the College. If you were in good academic standing when you left UCLA, you might be eligible to be return directly to the College. If you were not in good academic standing when you left UCLA, you might be required by the College to take courses at another school in order to demonstrate improvement in academic performance before return to undergraduate study consideration.
Speak directly with a College Counselor BEFORE filing a return to undergraduate study to a non-engineering major.
