About these results

A lecture can have open seats while its discussions are full. Check the linked discussion's availability before enrolling.

All 658 UCLA general education courses, ranked on four years of the registrar's grades, how full each section is now, and whether it was open at the last reading.

Where a class has discussions, the seat figure on its row is theirs and not the lecture's.

8 classes with no limit on who may enroll, and 2 dibs cannot tell about, each marked on its row.

First-year, first quarter, or transferring in? Nothing here is hidden from you, because you have not said what year you are, though 4 of the 223 sections dibs ranked are shut to everybody, whatever year they are. Tell dibs your year.

What your degree audit says is left, or add what you have already taken.

Grades, workload and enrollment notes

The exam, paper, quiz and problem set marks come from what reviewers wrote, and a mark reaches a row here only where at least two of them said the same thing. A blank means nobody said, which is not the same as none: where a reviewer said there were none, the row says none. A mark carrying ×? is a kind reviewers wrote about without any of them giving a number, which is not the same as none either.

Always check MyUCLA before you enroll. dibs holds nothing and cannot move you up a list. If MyUCLA disagrees with this page, MyUCLA is right.

Where dibs holds the breakdown behind an average, the row prints the share who took a D, F or W beside it: an average says how a class went for the middle of the room, and that share says how many it went badly for. Every section page carries a link straight to the registrar's own page for that section.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 10 readings.

Why a row can be older than that reading

Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

How grade comparisons work

The average GE course at UCLA grades at 3.67 over Fall 2021 to Fall 2025: one figure per course, over every GE course dibs holds a grade record for. 56 of them sit at 3.85 or higher with at least two hundred grades behind them.

dibs holds a second figure, 3.58, counted per student rather than per course, over every UCLA course rather than the GEs, and a course with few grades has its own figure pulled toward it. Nothing on this page is ranked at it.

So near the top, the grade has stopped telling you anything. What is left is whether you can get in, when it meets, and whether you want to be in the room for ten weeks. Lower down the list, the grade starts telling you a great deal.
