About UCLA
Few universities in the world offer the extraordinary range and diversity of academic programs that students enjoy at UCLA. Leadership in teaching, research, and public service make UCLA a beacon of excellence in higher education, as students, faculty, and staff come together in a true community of scholars to advance knowledge, address societal challenges, and pursue intellectual and personal fulfillment.

LIFE ON CAMPUS
Just five miles from the ocean, UCLA lies in one of the most attractive areas of Southern California. It is bordered on the north by the protected wilderness of the Santa Monica Mountains and on the south by Westwood Village. Some 325 buildings on 419 acres house the College of Letters and Science plus 11 professional schools and serve more than 39,650 students.

A Unique Setting
The Romanesque architecture of UCLA’s early buildings blends with the modern design of new structures and provides a backdrop for diverse campus settings. Bruin Walk continually echoes with the chatter of students and vendors, but nearby, the botanical gardens provide a serene escape. While a hip-hop band energizes lunchtime crowds in the Ackerman quad, a classical recital may be taking place in Schoenberg Music Building, and students contemplating a Rodin or Lachaise in the Murphy Sculpture Garden may be unaware of a political rally organizing in Meyerhoff Park.

A Dynamic Student Body
Students at UCLA pride themselves on academic excellence. The Fall Quarter 2008 entering freshman class had an average high school GPA of 4.22, with an average composite score on the SAT Reasoning Test of 1,901 out of a possible 2,400.
One of the University’s highest priorities is to advance the diversity of its students, faculty, staff, and administrators. UCLA’s student population—nearly equally divided between men and women—yields the wide range of opinion and perspective essential to a great university.
Although most students are from California, they come from all 50 states and 63 foreign countries to study at UCLA. Ethnic minorities comprise 66.1 percent of the undergraduates and 61.1 percent of the graduate student population, and international students and scholars presently number nearly 5,000, making this one of the most popular American universities for students from abroad.

Course Information
UCLA is where outstanding education meets the Pacific Ocean. Through hundreds of classes and special programs, UCLA Summer Sessions offers an excellent opportunity to study with world-renowned professors and highly capable students.
Incoming first-year and transfer students may need guidance in their course selection.

Course Descriptions
For individual course descriptions, please visit the Schedule of Classes. After selecting the term, subject areas, and course, click on the Crs Info link or the nine-digit course ID number to find details specific to that course. If you need more information, such as the academic department's Web site, phone number, or mailing address, click on the Dept. URL link.

Course Numbering
For a complete guide to course numbering, please visit the www.himiedu.com . As a general rule, lower-division classes (numbered 1- 99) are meant for first-year and sophomore students. Upper-division courses (100-199) are designed for juniors and seniors. Graduate courses are those numbered 200-299 and 500-599 (those from 500-599 are open only to UCLA graduate students). Finally, professional courses are numbered 300-499.
Multiple-listed courses are offered jointly by more than one department and are identified by an M before the course number. Enroll in the department from which you desire credit.
To enroll in an individual study or research course, undergraduates should use My.UCLA and go to "Contract Courses". Graduate students should contact the department in which they plan to enroll in an individual studies course.

Examinations
Alternate Examinations
Special examinations and re-examinations are not permitted in Summer Sessions courses. However, in compliance with Section 92640(a) of the California Education Code, the University does accommodate requests for alternate examination dates when the scheduled date and time would violate your religious creed.
Accommodation for alternate examination dates should be worked out directly and on an individual basis between the student and faculty member involved.
1. In general, you should request an alternate examination date from the instructor during the first two weeks of the session or as soon as possible after a particular examination date is announced by the instructor.
2. If you are unable to reach a satisfactory arrangement with the instructor, contact the Office of Summer Sessions, 021- 52382027, the Haiming education Office, or the Office of the Dean of Students for assistance.

Final Examinations

The final examination is usually given during the last scheduled class meeting. Exceptions are noted in the Schedule of Classes. When a course requires a final examination, there can be no individual exemptions.
A course cannot be dropped or removed from your record if you make any attempt to take the final examination.

Grading
Grading Policies
You are expected to complete all assigned coursework, take all examinations, attend class regularly, and submit all required work by the end of the session. No part of the coursework may be continued beyond the close of the course unless prearranged by the student and the faculty.
The grading system is the same as during the other academic terms: A, B, C, D, F, I (Incomplete: work is of passing quality but incomplete for a good cause), and DR (Deferred Report). Grades may be modified by a plus or minus suffix. See the Haiming educatinon catalog for details.
If you want Passed/Not Passed (undergraduate students) or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (graduate students) grading rather than for a letter grade, you may use URSA to change your grading option through the fourth week for a six-week course, fifth week for an eight-week course, or sixth week for a ten-week course. Undergraduate students must earn a grade of C or better to receive a P grade. Graduate students must earn a grade of B or better to receive an S grade.

Housing
Students attending Summer Sessions at UCLA are eligible to apply for On Campus Housing or Off Campus University Apartments. After you register for your courses and receive your UCLA logon ID and password, you may register for housing online through the HaiMing education Office.
