CLUSTER 20A · Lec 1

Race and Indigeneity in U.S.

Fall 2026Ortiz, V., Fong, K.N., Simpkins, A.M., and Blu Wakpa, T.6 units

This is a year, not a class

Clusters run across three quarters, fall, winter, then the spring seminar, and UCLA counts the credit on completing the yearlong cluster: four GE requirements and the Writing II requirement. Signing up for the first quarter is signing up for the year.

  1. 20A: you are here
  2. 20B
  3. 20CW

Dibs only reads Fall 2026, so the later parts show no sections here: that is this term, not the sequence ending. What you keep if you take only part of a cluster is a question for the Cluster Program, not something these numbers answer.

Read 34 minutes ago. This is a recent reading, not a live seat count.

dibs has seen this section open 44 times since 17 August. The last time was 1 October. 16 of those were readings where the capacity figure moved and the enrolled count did not, so dibs could not tell whether a seat existed and did not send an alert.

Enroll on the registrar (opens in a new tab) Sign in to watch for an opening

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

Registrar's Restrictions cell, read 3 hours ago: "First-Year Freshmen Only".

From the registrar limited early, then open

Seats are held for entering students who enroll through New Student Orientation sessions beginning July 2, 2026. New student restrictions will be lifted on September 15, 2026 at 8 a.m. Upon satisfactorily completing Clusters 20A, 20B, and 20CW, students receive credit for the following requirements: one GE each in Literacy and Cultural Analysis, Visual and Performing Arts, Historical Analysis, Social Analysis. Upon satisfactorily completing Clusters 20A, 20B, and 20CW, students will fulfill the Writing II requirement. Students must receive a grade of D- or better each quarter to receive general education credit and continue in the course. To receive credit for Writing II, students must satisfy Writing I by the end of the year, successfully complete fall and winter quarters, and earn a grade of C or better in spring quarter. For a complete summary of clusters credits, see https://www.uei.ucla.edu/academic-programs/ucla-cluster-program/benefits .

The limit stands until 15 September, and lifts then. dibs still counts this class as one you can take, but not yet. This class is also First-Year Freshmen Only, which that date does not lift.

dibs read 168 of the 175 hours its hourly record covers, 96%, and did not look in 7. dibs had no hourly record before 24 Sep, which is the other 910 of 1085 plotted.325 of 326 enrolled at the newest reading, 34 minutes ago, with 1 left in its discussions. Seats from 17 Aug 12:32 to 1 Oct 16:30, 190 to 325. dibs read 168 of the 175 hours its hourly record here covers, 96%. An hour marked as read confirms a check, not continuous monitoring. That check recorded no change; changes between checks may be missed. For 7 hours dibs was keeping a record and did not reach this section. Nothing before 24 September at 10:00, where this section's record starts, has a read either way, which is 910 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: 34 minutes ago.

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.
