UCLA CHEM 196B: Research Apprenticeship in Chemistry and Biochemistry

You are looking at Fall 2026. Fall 2026 enrollment is over, so these are its last seat readings rather than seats you can take. dibs holds 18,860 sections for Fall 2026, read 6 days ago. Separately, it has finished 3,629 of the 5,453 courses on its current checking list for this term. Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Winter 2027

Tutorial.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it. This course runs 21 lectures; the legend under the chart picks one.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.

What a flat run means, and where a line starts

Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and a line starts when dibs first saw that lecture rather than reaching back before it existed. A lecture that has never moved draws a flat line across the whole window, and one with two or three readings draws a line joining them, which is too few to read a trend from.

How readings and alerts work

Dated seat counts can be available even when hourly check history is missing. Gaps do not show whether seats changed between observations.

Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.

The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
