SECTION SWITCH INQUIRY
Please note that you may only switch discussion/lab sections within the same Lecture/Instructor of a course. We do not facilitate switching of Lecture courses (e.g. switching from Lecture 1 to Lecture 2 of a course).
Discussion section switches should only be requested if absolutely necessary, and if no other options are available. If you are unable to attend the section you are currently enrolled in, you will first have to find a student in another section who wants to switch sections with you.
For Summer 2025, requests must be submitted via email. Both students must complete the steps below:
- The student initiating the request must email enrollment@lifesci.ucla.edu and include:
- Both students’ full names and UIDs
- The LS course number and section (e.g., LS 7A, Dis 2J)
- A photo of yourself holding your BruinCard next to your face
- Your switch partner must be CC’d and reply to confirm the request, including:
- Their full name, UID, and enrolled section
- A photo with their BruinCard next to their face
Do not drop the course while waiting for your request to be processed, or you will lose your seat. Requests are reviewed in the order received and may take up to three business days.
Requests for Summer Session A6 will not be considered after Friday, June 23rd.
