Scientific Inquiry 91 GE courses 45 sections offered in Fall 2026 4 you can take and 41 dibs cannot tell about, each marked on its row
Hours you are already busy

Pick the days, set the hours, add it.

    Nothing blocked out yet.

    Sections that clash with these are hidden.

    You cannot enroll in sections held for new students unless you are one, and they are marked in the list. Useful for seeing what a category really offers.

    Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 45 readings. The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

    41. 5 courses dibs cannot rank

      The registrar has published no grades for these, so there is nothing to rank them on. That is dibs saying it cannot tell, not that they grade badly, which is why they sit outside the order above rather than at the bottom of it. Everything else on these rows is read the same way as the 40 above.

    42. SOC GEN M71A Biotechnology and Society

    Where a course has discussions, the discussion is what you enroll in.

    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.

    Balanced puts most of the weight on the grade record, then on how full the section is now, then on whether it was open at the last reading. Grades, Seat odds and Open first each lean the whole way onto one of those.

    The ranking is meant to be arguable rather than handed down. These four chips are its corners: w_gpa, w_fill and w_open in the address bar take any weights you like, and a link carrying them can be shared.

    Seat risk combines how full the section is now with how large the course has historically run. Reserved-seat restrictions are not parsed yet, so risk is a tier rather than a percentage: a section can read “94 spots left” with most of them held for a major.

    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.

    Sections limited to a particular year are marked in the list, not hidden, because you have not said what year you are.
