Filler classes
What the filler list looked like in Winter 2026, ranked by the grades those classes really gave. That term is over, so this is a record rather than something to enroll in.
Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 26 readings. That term is over, so nothing has moved since.
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.

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.
