Who Can Enroll
As UCLA’s principal provider of continuing education, the majority of UCLA Extension courses are designed for the post-baccalaureate professional-level student. Enrollment is typically reserved for adult students 18 years of age and older. Students under 18 years of age may receive consent to enroll based on special academic competence and approval by the instructor. Students must be at least 21 years of age to enroll in viticulture, enology, and other courses where wine or other alcoholic beverages are studied and served.
Permission to Enroll (PTE)
Many UCLA Extension courses, specializations, and certificate programs are restricted, meaning you must apply for admission and/or obtain permission before enrolling.
Courses: To enroll in a restricted course, add the course to your Shopping Cart and follow the on-screen instructions when checking out. You might be prompted to submit a separate application or to update your student profile (for age-restricted courses). The minimum requirements for restricted course enrollment can typically be found in our course descriptions.
Specializations and Certificate Programs: If the UCLA Extension program you are interested in is restricted, there will be application instructions on the specific program page. You may be subject to a nominal application fee. If your application is approved, we will contact you and provide instructions on how to complete your enrollment.
