dibs
You are looking at Winter 2026. That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take. Dibs has read 195 of the 3,464 courses on its list for this term. Terms nobody is enrolling in are swept one a night in rotation, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

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.

Hours you are already busy

Pick the days, set the hours, add it.

    Classes that clash with these are hidden.

    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.
