Courses & Enrollment
What are the Global Health minor Quarterly Course Lists and where can I find them?
The Global Health Minor Quarterly Course Lists provide students with a list of all approved minor courses that will be offered in a specific term. Students can peruse the list quickly to see what is being offered for a particular term and for which requirement it will fulfill for the minor. You can access the quarterly lists here.
Can I start taking classes for the minor before I am officially accepted into the minor?
Yes. You must complete two minor preparation courses (lower division) to be eligible to declare the minor. You can take upper division courses toward the minor if you meet department/enrollment restrictions; however, we cannot declare you into the minor until the prep is completed (grades posted on DARS).
I see a lot of courses in other departments that can count toward the Global Health minor. Can I get a special permit to enroll in other department courses since I’m a GH minor student?
The Global Health Department only oversees enrollment for its own Global Health courses (GH 100, GH 191, etc.). Thus, we cannot permit students into other department courses. GH minor students are expected to review enrollment restrictions and requisites for other department courses and follow any department-specific protocols for enrollment. In many cases, departments will lift restrictions during 2nd pass, but it varies.
I was wondering if I am able to take any of my classes for this minor for Pass/No Pass?
No. All courses for the Global Health minor must be taken for letter grade (exceptions are courses taken during Spring 2020 – Summer 2021).
I’m enrolled in an Additional Approved GH minor course as noted on the department’s quarterly course offerings list, but it’s not showing up on my DARS. What do I do?
Please send an email to undergrads@international.ucla.edu with your name, UID, and course to be added. Please allow 2-3 business days for a response and for the course to be reflected on your DARS.
GH 100 is a required course for the minor – when is it typically offered?
GH 100 is typically offered once during the academic year and typically during summer term. It is commonly offered in Winter Quarter, however this is subject to change, and students who are on our email list serv are notified of any course/department updates.
I need to take GH 100 but I’m not yet declared in the minor and I cannot enroll into GH 100. What are my options?
Contact the Global Health department via email at undergrads@international.ucla.edu with your name and UID to see if there is a possibility for you to enroll in the course. We cannot make any guarantees and priority is often given to graduating seniors.
