UCLA Extension & Credit applicability
It is quite common for AVC to receive transcripts from students who have attended the
UCLA extension division. Many of the courses taken through this arm of the University
are eligible to be used for lower division courses in our programs and for transfer. The
following is an explanation of how to interpret UCLA extension course numbers so that
you can better determine their application:
X 1 – X 199 & XL 1 – XL 199 & XLC 1 – XLC 199
These courses are equivalent to undergraduate courses offered by the UCLA regular
session. All X & XL & XLC courses are transferable for unit and subject credit toward a
Bachelor’s degree. NOTE: Courses numbered 1-99 are lower division; those numbered
100-199 are upper division.
XLC 200 – XLC 299 & XLC 400 – 499
These are graduate level courses.
X 300 – X 399
These are professional level courses designed for teachers and prospective teachers.
They are not applicable to AVC or transfer.
X 400 – X 499
These courses are considered Professional level (post-baccalaureate). On occasion, they
have been applicable to lower division courses (on a case by case basis). Please check
with Dr. Lee Grishman if such a course comes across your desk. UCLA departmental
offices must be contacted in order to confirm their application.
700 – 999
These are non-credit courses.
