Professionals, retirees and life-long learners register as well, bringing their varied perspectives to class.

No. International students who are enrolled in only online classes need to submit just the registration form.

Some UCLA courses are offered online and on-campus at the same time. When browsing the Schedule of Classes, make sure the "Building" field reads "ONLINE". This indicates you are looking at an online offering of that course. You can also use the links found on the Course List page of this site.

The UCLA Schedule of Classes lists all online courses and their SRS numbers in one convenient place.

My UCLA is UCLA's student record access system. It offers real-time access to your official student records and lets you update them instantly. Students can also order transcripts on MyUCLA.

The online courses listed on this website include only those that are offered by the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. To learn more about additional online course offerings, visit the UCLA Schedule of Classes online course list.

The School of Theater, Film and Television does not offer any online courses during the academic year. Other UCLA departments do offer a variety of online courses during the academic year: visit the UCLA Schedule of Classes online course list. Most academic year courses are only open to University of California students. In addition, other University of California campuses offer a selection of courses for enrollment by any UC student.

No, TFT does not currently offer a complete degree online. All TFT online courses are intended to be part of an undergraduate degree program or provide instruction for personal edification.

Yes. No substantive distinction is made between courses taken online and those taken on campus. Transcripts do not indicate a course was taken online. The equivalence is particularly transparent for UCLA students, who register and receive grades for all their classes - both online or on campus - through the same university system, MyUCLA.

While schools and departments have different policies regarding units earned outside the home institution, UCLA courses are generally accepted for transfer credit. It is advisable to consult a counselor at your home school or department to verify your units will transfer, particularly if you hope to apply units toward specific degree requirements, such as general education, a major or a minor.

For students from other UC campuses, all UCLA summer activity automatically appears on your home UC campus transcript, and the grades you earn at UCLA are included in your home UC campus grade-point average.

More information on transferring academic credit can be found on the UCLA Summer Sessions website. Transcripts can be ordered through MyUCLA.

Yes, Film TV 4, Theater 10, Theater 106, and Theater 107 are UCLA GE courses.

The professors who teach TFT online courses are the very same faculty members who teach them on campus. Teaching Assistants (TAs) are the very same UCLA graduate students overseeing course sections on campus.

Students in School of Theater, Film and Television online courses are not required to report to campus or special "testing centers" for exams. Tests and assignments, including midterms and finals, are papers or creative writing assignments. Papers and assignment are submitted via Turnitin to prevent fraudulent submissions.

TFT online courses have the same prerequisite requirements as their on-campus counterparts. Check the UCLA Catalog for prerequisite information for specific classes.

Yes. UCLA and UC students who receive financial aid during the academic year are eligible for financial aid during Summer Sessions. UCLA students can refer to the UCLA Financial Aid Office. UC (non-UCLA) students should visit the financial aid office at their home campus for particulars.

Visiting and international students are not eligible for financial aid from UCLA. Visit the UCLA Summer Sessions site for more information.

Professors and TAs may schedule optional office hours via video conferencing. Details are on the course website.

Enrolled students can access the class website starting on the first day of the session. The class website can be accessed from the Classes menu on MyUCLA or the Course Webpage link on the Schedule of Classes.

Lectures can be viewed in the Class Website from your computer or mobile device. An Internet connection is required to view lectures.

Students interact with their professors and TAs online in various ways.

TAs and professors are active on the discussion board, both as moderators and participants. Each board has a special forum where the professor and TA can respond to questions about the course and its assignments. Courses with discussion sections include a blog where the professor and TA can post images, links, commentary and video to respond to issues and questions that arise during the six weeks of class.

Optional office hours by video conference are often scheduled by professors and TAs, particularly before major assignments are due.

Students can email their TA directly with questions of individual concern.

Online courses and their on-campus counterparts share the same syllabi and are identical in terms of learning objectives and material covered. Differences are most apparent in how each context lends itself to different learning styles.
Some students appreciate the structure of an on-campus class. The physical presence of a lecturer can be inspiring, the presence of fellow students in a room stimulating and the structure of a "place and time" schedule grounding. Other students are good at managing their time and appreciate a greater degree of flexibility. These students tend to do very well in the online environment.

Students in online classes work at their own speed, review lectures and class exhibits as often as needed and thoughtfully craft arguments in writing for the discussion board.

No. Most assignments, like weekly discussion section questions, midterm and final papers, are posted as they are assigned in the normal flow of the course. In general, students cannot "work ahead."

Some courses may list assignment topics in advance, but students may not be prepared to properly attempt them until they have completed the preceding coursework.

The due dates of major assignments are available from the first day of class to allow students flexibility in scheduling work and managing their time. Syllabi are also available on the Course List page of this website to give students a general idea of assignments.

Textbooks for TFT online courses are available at the UCLA campus bookstores. If you are not on campus, you can order your textbooks online from the Textbook Store.

Most books can often be found at Amazon.com as well.

Students are unable to access the class website until the first day of class. If the course is underway and you get an "access denied" message, you are likely enrolled in a different session or have been dropped from the class for nonpayment. You can review and pay your Summer Sessions bill via My UCLA.

You can review and pay your Summer Sessions bill via MyUCLA. You may pay by Mastercard, Discover or American Express or by e-check.

Students are required to pay a $150 deposit upon enrollment. As long as the student remains enrolled in at least one Summer Sessions class, the deposit is applied to the cost of tuition. If the student drops all classes, the $150 deposit is not refunded.

Summer Sessions has a series of payment deadlines to encourage students to pay early. If you have not paid your fees by the payment deadline, you will be automatically dropped. You can re-enroll through the second week of the session without a financial penalty as long as there are spots available in the class.

Students who have been dropped for nonpayment cannot access the class website and cannot participate in class.

See the Summer Sessions website for fee information.

Students can re-enroll through in MyUCLA through the end of the first week of each session. After the first week, you must email online@tft.ucla.edu to request re-enrollment, which is at the discretion of the instructor.

Students receive numerous emails from Summer Sessions warning them of outstanding balances. Those who fail to pay by the deadline are dropped from class, lose access to the course website, and are not able to submit assignments. Access is regained when you re-enroll.

Being dropped for nonpayment is not accepted as an excuse for a late submission of work. In the event you are dropped, email online@tft.ucla.edu for permission to re-enroll. Further instructions will be given at that time.

Some requirements may apply to international students. Visit the UCLA Summer Sessions website for more information.

Textbooks are available about six weeks before the course begins. If you are checking prior to that time, you will get this message.
