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).

Section switches will be processed by Week 2 of the quarter. 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 using the platform your Instructor has set up.

The Spring 2026 Section Switch Form will be available on Monday, March 30 and will close at 12pm on Wednesday, April 8. To request a section switch, both you and a classmate enrolled in the same lecture must complete and submit this form.

Students may only request ONE switch per LIFESCI course, any additional requests will be denied. If a section has an available spot, students are welcome to make the switch on their own through MyUCLA, instead of completing the Section Switch Form.
