Tick more than one to cover several at a time.

Not here, and why (2)
  • 1 section you cannot take: the limit is on the class itself, not on who you are.
  • 10 sections need a prerequisite you have not listed, and dibs assumes you have taken nothing. Add what you have taken, no account needed.
  • Show everything.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 48 readings. The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.

    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 42 above.

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.
