Registration for each class is subject to seat availability, the approval of the instructor and the department chair concerned.

• Study in L.A. students are required to maintain good academic standing, which is defined as a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 (letter grade C) in order to continue to the next quarter. All participants must abide by all rules, regulations and policies set by Study in L.A. Additionally, students must enroll and maintain full-time (12 units) studies each quarter.
