Is it really difficult to graduate from UCLA in 4 years?

@Totoros @19parent Quick clarification on AP.

  1. APs only count for English (writing 1 req) and classes needed for your major. So each AP exam will correspond for a class but it will only fulfill a major req on your Degree Audit Report (DARs) on myUCLA if it’s for the major. It won’t fulfill GE credit even if it’s listed as a class.
  2. AP credits if they don’t count for a class will count as empty units to help someone graduate. They won’t hurt you by counting against the unit cal though.
  3. As of AY 2016 UCLA no longer counts AP units for class enrollment. Only units taken at UCLA it community college units count for enrollment standing. Enrollment is based on UCLA and cc units standing then within the let’s say “freshman block” times are randomly assigned.
  4. AP exam credits do count towards class standing. So it can make you a grade level ahead. This will allow you to enroll in classes that are restricted for grades higher while you are still a lower grade. But it does not give you a better enrollment pass

Hope this helps as it’s pretty confusing
