UCLA’s Student Research Program assists undergraduates in formalizing their research and becoming part of the larger university research community. The SRP-99 course is a lower division independent research course that allows undergraduates to receive university credit for engaging in entry-level research experiences under the supervision of a UCLA faculty. This course is particularly suited for lower-division and first-quarter transfer students.
SRP-99
Students receive 1 unit of lower division credit for 3-5 hours of work per week or 2 units for 6-10 hours of work per week during the academic year. For Summer 6-week sessions, students receive 1 unit for 5-8 hours of work per week and 2 units for 10-16 hours of work per week. Students in the College of Letters and Science may enroll in up to a total of 10 units of SRP-99 credit throughout their undergraduate career. However, only 6 units will count towards the graduation unit requirement. Students who have completed 6 units of SRP-99 may enroll in an additional 4 units without credit applied toward their degree. Students may only enroll in one SRP-99 course per quarter.
Eligibility
- Must have a current research project with a UCLA faculty
- Must be in good academic standing
- Must have full time status prior to enrollment (not applicable during the Summer)
- Students working with a UCLA Health Sciences faculty: students enrolling in SRP-99 with a UCLA Health Sciences faculty must receive clearance before beginning their research activities. Clearance is obtained by registering through the UCLA Health Sciences Volunteer Program.
Enrollment
Students are enrolled in SRP-99 only after submitting their signed contracts to the Undergraduate Research Center – Sciences by the quarterly deadline, with a valid, hard copy Certificate of Completion for Lab Safety Fundamental Concepts if required. Visit the Enrolling in SRP-99 page for complete enrollment information.
Grading
SRP-99 is a Pass/No Pass course. At the end of the quarter, the sponsoring faculty certifies that the contract has been completed and submits a grade. Grades must be submitted no later than 1 week after final exams. Students are not required to complete an evaluation or assignment at the end of the SRP course. Completing an evaluation form for the course is optional.
