Filler classes

Units to stay full time, or a cushion under your GPA, from whichever department will have you. Every class here is one you can actually enroll in, offered in Fall 2026, ranked by the grades it really gives.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 9 readings. The registrar publishes hourly and Dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

Big lectures only, by default. Chamber Ensembles: Strings averages a 4.00, but you audition into it and everyone there plays seriously: that average is about who enrolls, not about how it grades. Ensembles, studios, journal clubs and practicums are left out unless you ask for them.

Eligibility comes from what you have told Dibs you have taken, nothing else. Upload your DARS or add courses by hand and this list gets sharper.

This works signed out: your courses are kept on this device. An account keeps them across devices, remembers your standing and enrollment appointment so the eligibility filter is sharper, and is the only way to be emailed when one of these opens up. Make one.

    Below ~50 an average is mostly guesswork. Lower it to see more. This counts the course's history; the figure shown may be for one instructor, with its own smaller sample printed beside it.

    Kept, and not only for this list: it decides which alerts reach you. Rather not say clears it.

    A high average still is not the same as an easy class. Some courses grade well because the people in them are strong, not because the class is gentle: read the D/F/W column beside the average, and the reviews on BruinWalk beside both. "Eligible" here means the registrar publishes nothing that would stop you enrolling; departments that gate by advising rather than by enforcement publish no requisites at all. Past grading does not bind a future instructor, and none of this is advice: check MyUCLA before you plan around it.
