Designed to emulate the undergraduate experience, SCIP provides students access to a broad range of UCLA’s academic expertise and resources through lectures, workshops, and seminars, as well as UCLA coursework. SCIP’s co-curricular components are specifically curated to empower students to gain balance and thrive as they embark on their college journey.
Successful participants will earn college credit, a certificate of completion, and the skills to successfully manage college applications, academics, and university life.
On campus housing is strongly encouraged to experience college life on our beautiful campus. Participants are housed in our UCLA residential community, the Hill, conveniently located within easy walking distance of classrooms, libraries, sports facilities, and more!
If you choose to not stay in on-campus housing, you may update your preference to commuter on the questionnaire by May 22; no changes to housing preferences are accepted after this date.
Housing fees will be added to BruinBill on May 23. Students will be emailed once the housing fee is posted.
The residential plan features two meals a day (breakfast and dinner) in our award-winning UCLA dining halls.
SCIP students may choose 1-2 Approved Courses in Session A6 that do NOT conflict with the program’s mandatory co-curriculars from 3:30-4:30pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
It is the student’s responsibility to confirm the course they are enrolling in is approved, available, and does not have any time conflicts. Some of the courses on this list may currently be full/closed or waitlisted.
Due to changes in course modality, if you are interested in taking a class from the below list that is indicated as online, you MUST enroll in a second class that is approved and in-person. If you wish to only enroll in one course, it must be in-person.
Some courses will have a Lecture (Lec) online and a Discussion/Lab (Dis/Lab) in person or vice versa; please check if there is an arrow to the left of Lec to view any applicable Dis/Lab. For those courses, you should enroll in the discussion/lab first which automatically enrolls you in the lecture.
International students in SCIP+ who require a visa will need to be enrolled in 6+ in-person Session A6 courses to meet the eligibility for an F-1 visa, required for study.
