  • Students must ensure that all holds are clear prior to requesting enrollment support. 

  • MIMG does not offer PTE numbers, and we cannot guarantee enrollment in any MIMG courses. MIMG cannot add additional seats for any courses to accommodate additional students. 

Enrollment Support (Non-MIMG Majors)

  • MIMG does not offer PTE numbers, and we cannot guarantee enrollment in any MIMG courses. MIMG cannot add additional seats for any courses to accommodate additional students. 

  • MIMG courses open to non-majors the day after the last second pass appointment, space permitting (often between 7:30-10:00 AM*). MIMG courses are restricted to MIMG majors during first and second pass. Please see UCLA's Enrollment Appointments for accurate appointment times.  Winter 2026 MIMG courses will open to non-majors the day after second pass (Wednesday, November 19th, 2025 between 7:30-10:30 AM, although we cannot guarantee an exact time).

  • Unable to enroll in a needed MIMG course?

    • If you have a technical/requisite error, please email undergrad@microbio.ucla.edu with your UID and explain the technical issue. If appropriate, please include proof of the completed requisite course. If you are experiencing an enrollment issue that requires support, we will directly enroll students if possible and if space permits. Students must ensure that all holds are clear prior to requesting enrollment support.

    • Please check in on the course through the first week of the quarter to see if a spot opens for a desired MIMG course.

    • Please check in with your department advisor and/or college advisor for guidance. If unable to enroll, we recommend reaching out to the professional schools to let them know that not all UCLA students are able to enroll in their technically required courses. 

  • If you would like to inquire about auditing an MIMG course, please contact MIMG advisors at undergrad@microbio.ucla.edu with your UID (audited courses are NOT recorded on a transcript or study list).

Waitlists

Students on waitlists for MIMG course are not guaranteed enrollment. MIMG cannot add additional seats for any courses to accommodate additional students. 

If waitlisted, please monitor the course during the first week of instruction to see if other students drop (especially if are first or higher on the waitlist). Please also ensure that you are eligible to enroll for the course and don't have any holds.

Switching Sections in an MIMG Course

If students are enrolled in an MIMG course and want to "switch" discussion or lab sections with another enrolled student, it is possible to "switch". These switches must be facilitated by MIMG students (students must find other enrolled students looking to switch and communicate themselves), although some MIMG courses may have resources for students looking to switch. 

To request a section switch with another enrolled student in an MIMG course (courses offered by our department with "MIMG" in the title, such as MIMG 101), please follow these steps:

  1. First, confirm with the another student that they agree to the switch.
  2. Email the MIMG Advisors at undergrad@microbio.ucla.edu with:
    • The other student copied (CC'd) on the email
    • Both students' UID numbers
    • Current sections and the requested new sections for each student (e.g., Joe Bruin hopes to switch from 1D to 1A and Josie Bruin hopes to switch from 1A to 1D)
  3. The second student will respond to the email thread and confirm the switch. (Or, the second student can repeat step 2 above to send another email to confirm). 

  4. Once MIMG advisors receive an email from each student, MIMG advisors will process the switch as soon as possible and will confirm with the students. 

    Important notes: 

    • The other student(s) must reply to confirm the switch, and, remember, we must have both students' UIDs.
    • Verify that the new section times don't conflict with any of your other courses.
    • Switches will not be processed if there are schedule conflicts. If students have explanations or exceptions for conflicts, these should be noted in the email.
    • Section switches should be requested as soon as possible, no later than before noon of the drop deadline for the course (i.e. noon on Friday of Week 2).
