Watching is the one thing here that needs an account, because an alert needs somewhere to go. Everything else on this page works signed out.

Put this class on a board

A board is one quarter you are drafting, so it needs an account to live in. Signing in brings you straight back to this page, with this class still in front of you.

Before you can enroll

Tell dibs what you have already taken and this line will say which of these you have. Your list.

From the registrar limited until second pass

Any student attempting to save or sell a spot for another student is violating Student Conduct Code 102.23d and may be referred to the Office of the Dean of Students. Enrollment is limited to departmental majors on the priority and first enrollment passes. Any student may enroll on the second pass, space permitting.

This limit ends at an enrollment pass rather than on a date, and dibs does not hold the date second pass opens for Fall 2026, so it cannot say whether that pass has come. When it does, the registrar writes who may enroll then as “Any student may enroll on the second pass, space permitting.” So dibs cannot tell whether this class is open to you today, and it is not counting it as one you can take: your enrollment appointment on MyUCLA is what settles it.

What students say

dibs measures outcomes: grades, seats, how fast it fills. For what the class is actually like to sit in, BruinWalk has the reviews.

dibs has read this course’s reviews and none of them say what kind of work it sets, so dibs has nothing to show rather than a guess. Read from 144 reviews 26 days ago. That is the reviewers being silent, and not a course that sets no work.

Will it still be here

Seats over time

Nothing read since 1 Oct, 2 hours ago. Over about 1 month before that, same seat count, but the status went closed to waitlist, the waitlist went 2 of 2 to 0 of 2, and the seat count moved and came back.

dibs read 163 of the 907 hours its hourly record covers, 18%, and did not look in 744. dibs had no hourly record before 25 Aug, which is the other 165 of 1072 plotted.35 of 35 enrolled at the newest reading, 2 hours ago, and no seats left. Seats from 18 Aug 04:30 to 1 Oct 19:02, 35 to 35. dibs read 163 of the 907 hours its hourly record here covers, 18%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 744 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 25 August at 01:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 165 hours of this window. Where the drawing is faint or broken, that never means the readings are doubtful. It means the stretch between them is unaccounted for.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist. Flat between dots joins recorded counts; changes between reads may be missed. The line starts when dibs first saw this section rather than reaching back before it existed. The last one is the last time dibs read this section, moved or not, and that was 2 hours ago. It is where the line stops, not where the count is now.

How readings and alerts work

A reading and an hourly record are different things, and most charts here hold more of the second missing than present. dibs has taken readings of a section since long before it began keeping an hour-by-hour log of when it looked, so the empty stretches are dibs saying it was not keeping that log yet, not that it looked and found nothing. That is the age of the record and not a fault.

Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.

The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
