Instructor Complimentary Enrollment Process

  • Updated

UCLA Extension instructors may be eligible for complimentary enrollment in courses to support their professional development or to share with eligible family members. 

Please see the steps below on how to apply for a complimentary (COMP) enrollment:

  1. Fill out the DocuSign Instructor Comp Enrollment Form
    The form must be signed by both the instructor and their designated department representative. If the form is not signed, the application will be denied. Some courses require additional approval and materials before enrollment can be processed. Be sure to verify your eligibility with your designated representative.    
  2. Once the form is signed by the designated department representative, you will receive an email notification stating the form is complete (the completed form is not the application). The instructor (or their family member if the comp is passed to them) now needs to fill out the UNEX Instructor Complimentary Enrollment Application through their student portal and upload the completed DocuSign form. The application will be routed to Enrollment Services for processing.                                                      

  3. If the course is a limited enrollment class (<= 25 students), enrollment will have to wait until two weeks before the course start date. If the fee exceeds $1,000, Enrollment Services will reach out to the sponsoring department for approval. Enrollment Services will review and complete the enrollment. 

     

  4. Upon approval and processing of the complimentary enrollment, an enrollment verification will be sent by email.

A few things to note:

  • Processing typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Please avoid contacting the Enrollment Center for status updates during this window. If 5 business days have passed since your submission, you may email comps@uclaextension.edu.

  • Limited Enrollment: For classes with a capacity of 25 or fewer students, enrollment processing will not occur until two weeks before the course start date.

  • High-Fee Courses: If a course fee exceeds $1,000, Enrollment Services must obtain additional approval from the sponsoring department.

  • Course Changes: COMP forms are not transferable. If a course is canceled, you are not approved from a waitlist, or you decide to take a different class, you must submit a new application and DocuSign form.
