Letters & Science undergraduates who entered UCLA prior to Fall 2001 and transfer students who entered UCLA prior to Fall 2003 are required to pass at least 36 units during a given academic year. The College defines the academic year in the following sequence: Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring.

Students who do not pass at least 36 units during a given year are placed on Minimum Progress Probation. Students who do not pass at least 32 units during a given year will be placed on Minimum Progress Subject To Dismissal status by the College. (Note that this is NOT the same as Academic Subject to Dismissal Status.)

Each student's progress is reviewed annually at the end of Spring Quarter, and notices are sent to students in violation (along with petitions requesting waivers).

UCLA coursework (or coursework transferred from another institution, including AP units) completed during the summer may be applied towards satisfaction of minimum progress for the following academic year only.

NOTE: Spring Quarter incompletes do NOT exempt one from minimum progress.
