Making Lifetime Learning a Reality
Those of us in the continuing education field have been talking

about lifetime learning for decades now, but as I see it, the era
of true lifetime learning is just getting started.
The biggest factors are technology and the dynamic nature of
the 21st century worldwide economy. The combination of highspeed data networks and mobile devices has made it possible
for students to reach UCLA Extensions relevant and rigorous
academic content from nearly anywhere. At the same time, the
economic realities of the current workforce have made continual
post-bachelors-degree learning a necessity. Career changers are
looking to develop new competencies, while those who are
staying in their current careers are turning to continuing education
to give them the tools they need to advance.
Lifetime learning also carries with it benefits beyond the workplace. Our learning spaces,
whether physical or virtual, are gathering places for intellectually curious adults to engage
not only with the class material and their instructor, but also with each other. This
interaction builds a sense of communityin Los Angeles and beyond. And for learners
who are closer to the end of their careers, or who are already retired, a growing body of
research suggests that lifetime learning is good for continued emotional and cognitive
well-being.
So, keep learning! The career rewards that come from building your skills at UCLA
Extension are only the beginning. The lifetime rewards will be with you forever.
Sincerely,
Wayne Smutz, PhD

Dean of Continuing Education and UCLA Extension

Clear English pronunciation is difficult even for some
native speakers. A regional or foreign accent is often a
handicap in business. Precise articulation is essential
for increasing employee productivity, customer confidence, and effectiveness of presentations. This workshop helps individuals who speak with a non-native or
regional American dialect develop the skills they need
for pronouncing American English. Professionals who
are proficient in English grammar and vocabulary but
find that they are still misunderstood can learn to distinguish the sounds of English and train their speech
muscles to produce those sounds. A cassette or digital
recorder is strongly recommended for each session.

A majority of businesses fail within the first two years,
and a significant percentage of the initial survivors dont
last much longer. There are many reasons for this,
including inexperienced management, lack of sufficient
capital, failure to do proper marketing, and a lack of
financial competency. The bottom line is that most
managers dont know how to properly systematize,
structure, and manage their businesses. They dont
know because theyre not aware of where or how to
find this information. This course is designed to teach
students how to structure properly, systematize, and
manage a business of any size or type, service or

last much longer. There are many reasons for this, including inexperienced management, lack of sufficient capital,
failure to do proper marketing, and a lack of financial
competency. The bottom line is that most managers dont
know how to properly systematize, structure, and
manage their businesses. They dont know because

theyre not aware of where or how to find this information. This course is designed to teach students how to
structure properly, systematize, and manage a business
of any size or type, service or product, and in any industry. In addition to covering business concepts and
fundamentals, the course stresses application to realworld situations and problems. Actual examples from a
variety of current sources, such as newspapers and
magazines, are analyzed and discussed. Required course

Science and Art of Investing

The field of investing has evolved into a rigorous, evidence-based discipline of collecting and analyzing data
by researchers and practitioners to uncover the sources
of risk and return, which in turn inform how portfolios
should be constructed. At the same time, the field of
behavioral finance has evolved to demonstrate and
explain why investors do not always make financial
decisions that are rational. This course explores, on the
one hand, the rational, analytical approach to investing,
including the efficiency of markets, the factors of risk
in markets and the leading models used in the design
of portfolios. On the other hand, the course also
explores in detail many of the most important behavioral
biases that stand in the way of investors making smart
decision with their money. Intended for individual investors and financial professionals, the course borrows
from numerous real client cases and will address the
ultimate question of designing portfolios. Elective

impacts, and decide on a course of action. Additionally,
students understand the impact of cultural and organizational pressures to conform; identify when to escalate
issues and to whom; know the early warning signals of
conflict between personal and work values; and assess
how to maintain personal integrity. Business experience
and case studies create a basis for discussion. Participants develop a tool kit with practical information and
techniques to use in their work places. Advance enrollment required; no enrollment at the door. Internet access

This project-oriented course covers intermediate-level
topics in Microsoft application development within the
context of building a complete client-server database
application using a Microsoft SQL Server database and
a Windows desktop client application. Students should
already be familiar with Visual Studio and have some
experience with the C# language. Students should be
conversant with variable declaration, initialization and
assignment, expressions, reference and value types,
and conditional and looping constructs, and have a
basic understanding of classes and interfaces and how
they support inheritance and polymorphism. We look at
how to structure a multiple-assembly Visual Studio
solution to support domain-driven development of a
line-of-business application and embark on development of a sample application, starting with development
of the domain model classes and introducingunit
testing, generic and collections, and LINQ. Students
learn to design and build relational databases using
Microsoft SQL Server and develop SQL queries for
manipulating data, then develop a Data Access Layer
for persisting domain model objects to the database
using ADO.Net. Windows Presentation Foundation
(WPF) is then introduced as the Microsofts current user
interface technology for implementing Windows desktop
client applications. In parallel with the sample application, students each design and develop and application
of their own choosing from scratch as their course

a schema that is defined later when the data is retrieved
(schema on read), each must produce data sets that can
be related to each other in order to be joined and to
produce an analytical result that generate new insights
for the business. This course explores the big data
phenomenon and the impact of big data to traditional
relational databases. You examine big data technologies
such as Hadoop and NoSQL, and revisit data warehousing to redefine the analytical ecosystem as a combination of programming languages (polyglot programming)
and combination of storage solutions (polyglot persistence). You review information management across the
analytical ecosystem and the importance of distributing
analytics across the ecosystem. In the second half of the
course you apply the concepts of the analytical ecosystem individually within specific data analytic technologies
and across analytic technologies. For technical requirements see page4. Prerequisite: X450.1 Introduction to

EE Introduction
to Linux/Unix

This hands-on laboratory course covers a rich mix of
Linux and Unix distributions and features. The Red Hat
Linux family is the centerpiece. Both its source-compatible enterprise-class CentOS cousin and the upstream
Fedora feeder project are natively installed on classroom
workstations. In addition, so are several Linux versions
as virtual machines, and Ubuntu Linux and FreeBSD Unix
are used remotely. Apple OS X is demonstrated for
comparison. A from-scratch installation showcases the
operating systems role in the context of firmware,
bootloader, system programs, and application programs.
We study Linuxs multiple character and graphical user
interface offerings, with deep emphasis on the bash
shell and the X window system. Under bash, we learn
the mainstream commands and the built-in shell script
programming language. The course also runs two different window managers (GUIs). We learn the fork/exec
process spawning mechanism by writing a minimalistic
shell. Students study the Linux-default ext filesystem in
detail, plus the standard file hierarchy built upon it. Plus,
they learn to compile simple programs as a method to
install open-source applications, as well as high-level,
package-based remote installs. This course prepares
students for separate specialized follow-on courses in
Linux/Unix system administration, networking, and shell
scripting. Prerequisite: Basic computer experience on
any system. Programming experience is helpful, but not
required. Required course in the Operating Systems
Administration and Linux/Unix certificate programs.

Linux/Unix System Administration

This intermediate course covers local and network system
administration within the Red Hat-derived family of Linux
distributions, Fedora and CentOS. Instruction emphasizes
configuration files, the foundation of operation and control.
It teaches local and web-based interfaces to the power of
these files. Administering user accounts, processes, and
filesystems are the most basic functions studied. Beyond
that are specialized responsibilities like recurrent task

scheduling, local and remote logging, trans-network
backup and filesystem synchronization, and network time
control, all with their attendant security concerns. Learn
about the network servers that implement these features,
and their clients, as well as startup control of these servers.
Once grounded in the nuts-and-bolts, you learn automation
and labor-saving front-end techniques to rationalize and
ease your configuration management tasks. Students need
user-level familiarity with the Unix environment and a Unix
editor. Prerequisite: X 417.31 Introduction to Linux/Unix or

Advanced Linux/Unix: Networking

This course gives attention equally to general networking, which is platform independent, and how to implement and access it from the Linux platform specifically.
TCP/IP networking over Ethernet is the central focus.
Manual and automatic IP configurations are covered.
Substantial attention is given to a select set of important protocols, tools, and server programs. The protocols are Ethernet, IP, ARP, UDP, TCP, HTTP, DNS, DHCP,
DNS, and SMB. Important tools covered are netstat,
ping, traceroute, ARP, tcpdump/Wireshark sniffers, and
Nmap port scanner. Servers are introduced with small
tutorial programs that demonstrate the programmatic
structure of standard socket-API applicationsthe
defining characteristic of client and server programs.
This lays groundwork for covering some combination of
specific real-world services. As time allows and student
interest dictates Apache, BIND, NFS, Samba, DHCP, and
others are examined. Their configuration is covered
from client and server sides, both by directly editing the
appropriate configuration files and applying front-end
graphical tools. Finally server selection, installation, and
management methods are presented. In-class exercises
are liberally performed. Prerequisite: X 417.31 Introduction to Linux/Unix, or alternative familiarity with

Python Programming I m

Python is a high-level, dynamically typed, and portable
programming language that excels when the cost of
software development outweighs performance considerations, which is quite often in practice. Python covers
similar territory as Perl and is similarly an open-source
product, but it is considered easier to learn, write, and
maintain. NASA, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM),
Honeywell, and many other companies all use Python
to handle jobs for which classical programming languages are not well-suited. This course introduces
Python and its libraries as a general programming

JavaScript m

Web users today expect sites to provide dynamic user
interfaces, fast response times, and advanced features.
JavaScript delivers that, which is why JavaScript has
become such an important programming language for
web developers. This course benefits anyone who is
involved with web development, including server-side
programmers who use ASP, JSP, PHP, or other languages, and web designers who use XHTML and CSS
and would like to build rich Internet applications (RIAs)
with JavaScript and DOM scripting. Students learn
XHTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) skills and
learn how to use Firefox and its free Firebug extension
to debug JavaScript applications. Additionally, students
learn how to use arrays, functions, regular expressions,
exception handling, libraries, and user-defined objects.
The course provides an introduction to closures, recursion, prototype-based inheritance, extension of built-in
JavaScript objects, and an object-oriented approach to
data validation that students can use as a model for
their own applications. Students also learn how to use
DOM Scripting to build applications that run slide
shows, do image rollovers, use dropdown menus, rotate
headlines, sort the data in tables, and provide animation. The course also covers how to use the objects,
methods, and properties of a web browser and how to
use third-party libraries, such as jQuery and Dojo.

Design Thinking II

Design Thinking II is a methodology for practical, creative resolution of problems or issues that looks for an
improved future result. Design thinking is a creative
process based around the building up of ideas.
Outside the box thinking is explored in the design
methodology that leads to creative solutions. We explore
divergent and convergent thinking strategies that help
define a thinking methodology that include project
selection (problem space); field study (interview/observation); opportunities (brainstorming/deation); prototypes/sketching (thinking tools); iterative design
(combination/evaluation); and test (user feedback).
Within these steps, problems are framed, the right
questions can be asked, more ideas can be created,
and the best answers are chosen and implements for
low level to high level. These steps are not linear.
Methodologies to parse, explore, find, gather, and
visualize design thinking will become paramount in the
course deliverables. Prerequisite: Design Thinking I X

Design Thinking I

Design thinking is one of the most effective ways to
strengthen your insights, thinking skills, and ability to
innovate as a designer. Informed by Stanfords d.school,
this multi-disciplinary process strengthens familiar skills
that are often undervalued. You learn to launch successful and innovative design solutions across the
spectrum of media, including web, print and packaging.
Class topics include prototyping and testing; rapid iteration; radical collaboration; empathetic observation;
interviewing for empathy; persona mapping; assuming
a beginners mindset; introduction of complex problems; and testing and observation. Weekly assignments
encourage you to learn by doing, and take you through
a series of hands-on exercises. The goal of design
thinking is not simply to innovate, but also to create
innovators. By the end of the class, you will see solutions that would otherwise be invisible, which become
what we call innovation. Internet access required to

and Analysis

This course examines methods of systems design and
analysis that optimize spacecraft synthesis. The spacecraft is considered simultaneously as an element of a
larger space and ground system as well as a collection
of subsystems. Instruction applies principles of systems
engineering to show how a spacecraft design is synthesized (as part of a larger space and ground system, the
spacecraft is subject to systems requirements and
constraints that affect orbit selection and spacecraft
subsystems design) and defines subsystems engineering
tasks, interfaces, and responsibilities. In conjunction with

Six Sigma Black Belt II

For decades, the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies
have been helping organizations meet and exceed
customer requirements, while becoming more efficient
and profitable. Lean and Six Sigma help organizations
develop and deliver near-perfect products and services.
Lean is a term developed by Toyota which focuses on
the relentless pursuit of removing waste from business
practices. The term Sigma is a statistical term that
measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you
can measure how many defects you have in a process,
you can systematically determine how to eliminate
them, getting as close to zero defects as possible.
This course demonstrates advanced Lean and Six
Sigma tools and techniques. Students learn to document enterprise-level processes, identify the steps
necessary to implement a Lean Six Sigma system, as
well as learn how to teach and mentor in the workplace.

EE Sustainable
Energy Management

The OPEC oil embargo of 1973 was the first real wakeup call about the U.S.s dependence on imported
energy and the consequences of unchecked energy
usage. From that experience, many energy-intensive
companies quickly saw the value of having a dedicated
resource, often an energy manager, whose role was to
minimize energy costs and ensure energy availability
(i.e., make the companys energy usage sustainable).
Consequently, the term sustainability has long been
part of the energy managers lexicon. Today, it isnt just
energy-intensive companies that are interested in
energy management. Concerns about climate change,
energy security, and utility cost stability have led to a
tremendous increase in the role of energy management
across all sectors, and it is no longer the domain of just
engineers but also business managers, contractors, and
many others. This course explores the role of energy
management in providing a meaningful and financially
viable sustainability program. Students successfully
completing the course take away a solid understanding
of what energy management entails, key fundamental

energy management skills, and an overall level of
knowledge enabling them to make meaningful contributions to discussions about energy management in
regard to sustainability programs. Elective course in the
Sustainability Certificate. &

Harmony II: Techniques for

Composing Contemporary Music

In this course you learn the techniques of 20th/21st
century harmony while also applying the theoretical
concepts to your own compositions. You are exposed
to a wide variety of modern-era harmonic practices
starting with an introduction to the French Impressionists of the late 19th century and then moving forward
to current trends of today. Instruction consists of three
stages: establishing a foundation in contemporary
harmonic techniques, studying the music scores of the
great masters who demonstrate these techniques, and
creating your own compositions by emulating what you
have learned. Harmonic concepts include: modality and
tonal ambiguity of the impressionists, total chromaticism, free atonality, serialism, bitonality, modern scales,
pandiatonicism, tone clusters and sound mass, minimalism, neo-romanticism, and more. Scores studied
include works by Debussy, Ravel, Schoenberg, Webern,
Stravinsky, Ligeti, Penderecki, Reich, Adams, Glass,
Part, and Whitacre. Utilizing many of the concepts
learned, you work on your own compositions and study
scores that use many of these harmonic techniques.

broad schools of animation: story-driven, action oriented animation, and hip and quirky. You learn about
the traditional and new approaches to composing for
animation and how to build tempo maps, which in many
cases is half the job. The differences and similarities
between scoring an animated movie and scoring an
animated TV show also are discussed. You compose,

Workshop
Exercise, Mood,
and Neuroplasticity
Oct 1
Earn 6 CE hours (for RDs)
If exercise was an FDA-approved drug, everyone would pay
out-of-pocket to fill their prescription and gain the benefits. What other
single health habit can you practice to improve your ability to learn, sleep,
cope with stress, and reduce drives to overeat? Exercise has been found to
defend against dementia, addiction, anxiety, and ADHD. In a landmark
study, it was even found to be as effective as antidepressants in helping
people cope with depression. Exercise can lead to many of these benefits
because it supports neuroplasticity. It changes the brain!
In this one-day workshop,
dietitians, exercise physiologists,
fitness instructors, athletic trainers,
addiction counselors, and other
allied health professionals will
begin to understand the
relationship between exercise,
neuroplasticity, and well-being.
Morning lectures review the
brain reward pathways, and how
exercise modifies these pathways
to modulate eating behaviors
and addiction.
The effects of exercise on the
vagal system and how this
impacts the bodys reaction to
stress-producing anxiety is
explored. The concept of the
vagal brake is introduced to
explain the beneficial adaptations
the body makes with regular
exercise. Afternoon sessions summarize the evidence base for the
impact of exercise on mood and
sleep as well as introducing the
concept of evolutionary exercise.
Participants will learn how exercise

impacts aging and cognition as well
as specifics about how types of
exercise target different aspects of
brain function. Assessment tools
will be discussed and participants
will be divided into small groups to
discuss the practical application of
the course material.

The Neuroscience
of Creativity
Suicide Prevention for

Clinical Psychologists
Creativity is increasingly seen as critical to success in modern society

and as an important facet of psychological well-being and positive
psychological adjustment. The scientific study of creativity is still in
early stages, but recent work is helping specify the neuroscientific bases
of creative achievement.

This workshop surveys recent

research on the cognitive and
personality characteristics
associated with creativity, and
provides examples from work
conducted across species,
including studies of exceptionally
gifted children and adults. The
presentation emphasizes a series of
themes and their relations to creativity, including generativity/incubation; response inhibition/disinhibition; cognitive stability/
f lexibility; f low states; and disagreeableness or non-conformism.

EE Developmental
and Addiction
Aspects of Psychology

This course provides students with a basic level of
understanding of the etiology of addiction and clinical
implications derived from the application of psychology
to chemically dependent behavior. To understand its
complicated nature as a disease, the course focuses
on current genetic and environmental research in the
development of substance use disorders. Specific topics
to be covered include the biological, developmental,
psychological, environmental, and social factors that
lead to vulnerability to addictions; symptoms of addictive disorders; and prevalence across the life span
among target populations, including adolescents,
seniors, families, and those with trauma exposure. We
also examine various treatment approaches from a
developmental perspective, including translational
approaches to treatment that bridge biology and behavior. Required course in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling Certificate. Enrollment limited; early enrollment

The suicide of a client is the ultimate adverse outcome of

clinical treatment. The phenomena of suicide has variously
been conceptualized as a crisis, a symptom of mental illness, a
product of brain dysregulation or in terms of diathesis combined
with stress.
This workshop will contrast
and compare the competing
understandings of suicide in the
context of psychotherapeutic
treatment. Advances in risk
assessment using assessment
measures and careful clinical
interviewing skills will be
presented.
This continuing education

workshop is designed to provide
specific, clinical interventions and
empirically based assessment
options for psychologists and other
mental health professionals who
work with high-risk adolescents and
adults in an outpatient setting.
Treatment strategies for

managing risk as well as for
reducing suicidality will also be
reviewed. Participants will discuss
contemporary controversies in
pharmacological treatment of suicidal feelings. Case examples will
help illustrate both assessment and
treatment components.

Retrain Your Anxious Mind
718.5Psychology
This experiential workshop explores how the anxious
mind is simply reacting to negative beliefs and automatic distorted thoughts that have been learned over
many years. The negative beliefs we cling to about
ourselves and the world are a collection of mixed messages internalized from our parents, society, religion,
the media, etc. These automatic thoughts gradually
become the rock-bottom data that we adopt in order to
establish meaning in our lives. Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT) helps deconstruct these faulty belief
systems and retrain the mind to think more rationally
and ultimately, more realistically. CBT proposes that we
challenge our fixed thinking or our private mythology,
and rewrite our personal dictionary.

Developing the Mindfulness Edge
780.2Psychology
In todays rapidly changing world, developing a mindfulness meditation practice can provide increasing mental
and emotional awareness in all areas of life. Through
Mindfulness Training (MT), you can develop non-judgmental awareness of moment-to-moment experience.
Practice can transform how you experience yourself and
access your potential. Mindfulness training opens a
broad creative perspective that allows you to understand with maximum clarity and empathy; live with
more energy, focus, compassion and joy; and dismantle
habitual self-criticism and pessimism. This practice
results in more accurate perception, reduces negativity,
improves vitality, providing resilience to lifes stresses.
MT also helps you address destructive habits formed
in response to stress. You will see choices and possibilities more clearly and can change your ability to care
for yourself. Such integration allows you to engage with
others and affect situations in a powerful and positive
way. Through lecture, experiential exercises and guided
visualization you will learn how to apply MT and emotional intelligence to gain the mindfulness edge.

Variable Topics in Comparative

Literature: Literature and the Law m
XL 191LL Comparative Literature 4units c

What are the relationships between actual codes of law,
religious and secular, between the rhetoric and practices of law courts, ancient and modern, and the
development of literature? The stories in Boccaccios
Decameron (1351), for example, which well read, take
their structure as stories from legal case-putting techniques, where circumstances of imagined lives and
entangling circumstances are fictionalized so readers
can observe and assess human behavior. Well also
read records of court trials, including the records of the
trial of Mary Blandy (1751), which has the power of a
fiction one couldnt invent, and novels like Truman
Capotes In Cold Blood that details the 1959 murder of
four members of the Herbert Clutter family in Holcomb,
Kansas. This course thus examines the important connections between law and literature, the first the
source, often the inspirationor the nightmare, as in
Kafkas The Trialfor the second. &

Media Law and Ethics
A theory of punishment aims to answer these questions in a systematic

way. In this course we will examine a range of attempts to construct
such a theory.
Well begin with a survey of modern liberal and utilitarian thinkers
on punishment, before diving into
the deeply skeptical accounts found
in Nietzsche and Foucault.
Every society has some system of
enforcing laws and punishing lawbreakers. But punishment is incredibly costly, both for society and for
those who are punished. What is
punishment meant to accomplish?
Is it ever justified? What would a

just system of punishment look
like?
Read and discuss great philosophers
including Bentham, Nietzsche, and
Foucault as they grapple with these
questions.

Shakespeares Revolutionary Plays
XL 139RP English 5units c

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) had the great luck
to born amid three revolutions: the Protestant Reformation (1517-1641), English Renaissance (1498-1620),
and Scientific Revolution (1543-1687). Thanks to the
invention of printing with moveable type, this new learning was shared with an increasingly literate populace.
Together, the people and ideas overthrew a medieval
worldview dominated by mysticism, superstition, fear,
and self-loathing. In its place, the revolutionaries laid
the intellectual foundations of the modern era: humanism, skepticism, and free-thinking. This course examines nine of Shakespeares plays which embody the
liberating spirit, reforming ideas, startling insights, and
lofty aspirations of the revolutions that reshaped world
in which he lived and worked. Conversely, by contextualizing these plays within the transforming society
beyond the theaters wooden O, we can understand
and appreciate these plays (and the man Shakespeare)
in new and deeply satisfying ways. &

Elective Courses
Urban Food Production

The production, packaging, and transportation of food
are large contributors to our global carbon emissions.
Throughout the Los Angeles basin, food gardens have
sprung up producing local healthy and nutritious fruits
and vegetables while contributing energy and financial
savings in difficult economic times. Using the history
and current practices of growing food in the city as a
template, this course explores how urban grown food
reduces food budgets, encourages food sovereignty
while addressing environmental concerns. Participants
are each given a small plot for growing food where they
can experiment with new ideas and enjoy their harvest.
Topics include fruit trees, vegetables, and berries that
do well in our climate as well as often overlooked foodproducing perennials. We address pitfalls, challenges
and practical answers to growing food in modern city
lots where the back 40 describes square feet and not
acres. Elective course in Horticulture and Gardening and

native plants and other ecosystem services back into
urban landscapes. We learn, by doing, how to design
and install a California native garden, focusing on the
concepts of Surfriders Ocean Friendly Garden Program: conservation, permeability, and retention. In
collaboration with SELVA International and the Surfrider
Foundation. Elective course for the Landscape Architecture Certificate; elective course for the Sustainability

A Window onto the World:

The Art of the Italian Renaissance

Toward the end of the 14th century, a handful of Italian
thinkers declared that they were living in a new age.
The Italian Renaissance was a remarkable period of
intellectual, political and cultural development. A revival
of interest in the Classical world and Humanist ideology
set the framework for the developments of this rebirth
in Italy. Against a backdrop of political stability and
growing prosperity was a flowering if philosophy, literature and especially art. This course explores the
emergence of the window onto the world that is the
art of the Italian Renaissance. Beginning in the early
1300s with the work of Giotto, we explore those artists
who revived Greco-Roman traditions and sought to
capture the experience of the individual and the beauty
of the natural world, reaching its zenith in the late 15th
and early 16th centuries with the masterworks of
Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. Visitors

The Emergence of the United States

as a World Power

At the end of the 19th century, the United States was
forced to reposition itself globally or watch its exporters get squeezed out of essential European and Asian
markets. Over the next few years, the U.S. transformed from a growing but isolated and self-contained
economic backwater into the worlds leading manufacturer and a full partner in a new Anglo-American
alliance that would dominate world politics for the next
century. This course utilizes contemporary accounts,

were premiered by the Ballets Russes in Paris. The last
of these works would prove scandalous yet influential

William Faulkner

Faulkner is one of the most celebrated writers in
American Literature generally, and Southern literature
specifically. Although he published work as early as
1919, as well as during the 1920s and 1930s, Faulkner
was relatively unknown until receiving the 1949 Nobel
Prize in Literature. Faulkner is primarily known for his
novels and short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based on Lafayette County, Mississippi,
where he spend most of his life. Readings include: The
Sound and The Fury (1919), As I Lay Dying (1930),
Absalom, Absalom! (1936), and selected short stories.

Pre-code Movies, Part 2: Crime and

Punishment During Prohibition

In 1934, the Motion Picture Production Code of 1930,
also known as the Hays Code, was finally enforced,
dramatically altering the content of U.S. motion pictures
by putting an end to the depiction of behavior considered unethical and immoral. That year also saw the end
of Prohibition. This course screens crime films made
during the pre-code era, 1930-1934, when criminal
activities, adultery, alcohol consumption, prostitution,
pre-marital sex, and other behaviors were boldly
depicted in film, often without consequences. Movies
include The Big House (1930), The Public Enemy
(1931), Little Caesar (1931), Scarface (1932), I am a
Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932), and M (1931).

How Chocolate Conquered the World,

Part I

Beginning in Mesoamerica around 2000 B.C.E, cacao
and chocolate came to be a central part of the indigenous peoples life. From the Conquest in 1525 on,
chocolate impacted Spain, its colonies, and Europe in
all aspects of their culture. Royal courts adopted chocolate in their practices, laborers used it, and physicians
investigated it. The Catholic Church debated its good
and evil, and it appeared increasingly in art and literature. The course explores chocolates origins and
expansion through the 1780s and its impact on health,
medicine, music, literature, art and social habits.
A chocolate tasting takes place in each class. Visitors

On Dreams and Dreaming, Part II

Since the dawn of humanity, people have wondered
about the function and meaning of dreams. C. G. Jung
regarded dreams to be our door into the world of the
unconscious. In this series of theoretical and experiential lectures and workshop we explore the concept of
the collective unconscious as we focus on dream
symbolism emerging from the collective psyche, and
experience it as different from dream symbolism of the
personal unconscious. The last of the six meetings will
be an optional workshop where participants will create,
experience and work-through images of their own
dream material through collage, painting, and other
media. No previous art experience is needed. Past
participation in Dreams and Dreaming, Part 1 is not a
prerequisite for this course. Visitors not permitted.

Revisionist Westerns

After World War II, American films took a darker turn.
First there was Film Noir, there were Revisionist Westerns. Defining characteristics of the Western genre,
such as codes of honor, egalitarian justice, gunfighter
duels, and more, were upended and inverted to display
a very different version of the Wild West. In this course,
we view and discuss five landmark Revisionist Westerns: The Ox-Bow Incident, The Man Who Shot Liberty

the Roman government. This course traces the transformation of Rome from the rise of Julius Caesar to the

Observing Animals:
Behavioral Studies in Zoos

Offered in cooperation with the Greater Los Angeles
Zoo Association (GLAZA).
The successful study of the behavior of animals, whether
in zoos or their natural environments, requires organized
functional methods of description and data collection (as
well as dedication and patience) in order to yield meaningful and useful results. This course provides an introduction
to these methods and techniques of studying the behavior
of animals without experimental manipulation. Topics
include techniques of organizing and collecting numerical
data; methods of producing accurate descriptions of
behavior; recognizing various components, categories, and
contexts of behavior; and minimizing artifacts and errors
in such studies. Instruction emphasizes practical firsthand
application of such techniques to behavioral problems and
studies. In addition to lectures and demonstrations, participants conduct a study project on selected species at the
Los Angeles Zoo. Credit students receive homework
assignments each week and are required to engage in at
least 15 hours of observational study at the zoo. &

placed on bird identification, behavior, distribution, ecology, and conservation. Students learn to identify at least 50 native species of birds,
understand distribution and behavioral patterns associated with particular ecological communities, and study the changes of species due to
environment and land use impacts.
A field notebook and binocular
are required. Students initiate
and maintain a personalized lifelist of birds. The course comprises 3 lecture meetings at
UCLA and 5 Saturday morning
field trips, planned to observe
and discuss the birds of the
outer coast, riparian-freshwater
marsh, chaparral, oak woodland,
desert, and mountain communities. Field trips involve easy-tomoderate walking for up to 2.5
Moonlight Beach, Encinitas, CA
hours, occasionally over uneven
terrain. Students arrange their own transportation to field locations,
including at least 2 field trips outside of Los Angeles County.

Analysis. Cost-Benefit Analysis and related techniques
are used by both public and private organizations to
support policy analysis and decision-making. Used carefully, cost-benefit analysis can offer valuable insights into
the economic aspects of important projects and farreaching public policies. Used irresponsibly, the techniques can be misleading or counterproductive. The
potential applications of cost-benefit analysis are
unlimited: they include capital investment, healthcare
program analysis, facilities management, environmental
planning, and many more. Course participants will
perform introductory cost-benefit analysis, critically
evaluate existing applications, and apply economic decision making principles to realistic case studies. Internet
service and a basic spreadsheet application are required
to access course materials, participate in discussion
forums, and complete assignments. This course will be
valuable for public policy analysts, capital investment
planners, sustainability professionals, or anyone interested in improving their knowledge of economic decision
making. For technical requirements see page4. Elective

6 hours of MCLE credit. 6 hours of CM credit for AICP
certified planners. Fee includes continental breakfast

What is the difference between a zoning ordinance and
a general plan? Why does every city have different
zoning requirements but the same building code? Can
a project be approved when the environmental impact
report says it will harm the environment? What can
community members do when they dont like the city
councils planning decisions? What are the limitations
on a citys ability to impose conditions on new development? What is a variance, a negative declaration, a
tentative subdivision map, a specific plan, an urban
growth boundary, a taking, and the fiscalization of land
use? In this course, the instructors draw on their experience in planning and planning law to provide answers
to these and other planning puzzles. The course covers
the land use laws and policies that govern California
communities and the tools for implementing those
policies. It addresses the role of CEQA in the planning
and development process and looks at the role of the
local government, the public and property owners in
land use decision-making. This course will provide a
good introduction and overview of the land use planning
and decision-making process for anyone new to planning, including local agency staff and officials, developers and community members.

Outsourced Projects m

Outsourcing has become a way of life in the 21st
century. Much of the project work that used to be
proposed, planned, implemented, and controlled inside
an organization is now being partially or completely
performed at domestic and foreign suppliers. Firms are
transitioning from being doers of projects to buyers
of project work. How can you be sure things are being
done as you desire? This course is designed to help you
increase your satisfaction levels with project outputs
that enhance your effectiveness as a buyer and seller
of products or services, especially for large contracts
that include subcontractors and a supply chain of
vendors. Instruction also covers decisions regarding
make versus buy and the type of contract to use.
Solicitation and source selection focuses on procurement and helps you understand the use of the statement of work, common solicitation documents, seller
evaluation criteria, pricing, and contract law considerations. Additionally, the course covers the contract
administration process, which addresses seller performance and payment on external procurements; and the
closing process, which covers contract completion,
termination, and disputes. For technical requirements

As we enter the new global market, we no longer work

many jobs that were once performed locally are now
performed in countries like China and India. The implications of this is that we are faced with new challenges
of working with individuals and teams over a virtual

EE Logistics,
Operations, Methods,
and Systems m

Logistics classically refers to activities that are performed at the back end of the supply chain process
such as shipping products and satisfying customers. In
the past, logistics was viewed in a fragmented way
where such functions as transportation, warehousing,
material handling, and documentation management
were considered as separate and standalone activities.
Given the fact that we now live in the information age,
the power of the computer, as well as an appreciation
of the systems approach, has generated a new respect
for logistics as a discipline. The various components of
logistics are now viewed in terms of their interrelationships and how they collectively add value to the supply
chain. This course provides an overview of the key
elements of a successful logistics organization starting
with a strategic decision on logistics design and concluding with day-to-day operation of a logistics system
that meets both customer and company objectives.
Topics include location analysis (distribution centers and
warehouses), transportation management, inventory
management, international logistics, logistics technology,
and warehouse management. By courses end, students
have an increased knowledge of the dimensions of a
logistics system that allows them to broaden their
contributions to the supply chain. For technical requirements see page4. Prerequisite: X 445 Fundamentals

EE Supply
Chain Inventory
Management m

Managing inventory has been likened to a circus performer walking on a high wire 100 feet above the
ground. The same balance is required to effectively
manage inventory. If you increase it too much, you
create excess inventory that upsets the organization,
and if you decrease it too much, your customers wont
be happy. As a supply chain practitioner, you can probably relate to this scenario. Managing inventory is all
about maintaining a happy medium. This course equips
you with the knowledge to help achieve the right levels
of inventory. Learn why theres such a controversy over
the nature of inventory (if its good or bad); discover
how you can eliminate the annual physical inventory
through cycle counting; discover why accurate computer inventory balances dont mean much without
sound procedures and effective physical inventory
control practice;, and learn how to scientifically set
safety stock. Other topics include the relationship of
Lean/JIT to inventory, the benefits of the economic
order quantity (EOQ) and economic production quantity
(EPQ), the difference between independent and dependent demand, and how to use vendor-managed inventory (VMI). For technical requirements see page4.

True Stories: Shaping Life into Art

At the end of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,
Stephen Daedalus, the bristling artist-hero, sets out to
recreate life out of life! This ecstatic mission was also
Joyces, of course, and now its ours. In this creative
nonfiction class, perfect for writers of all levels, we
focus on the re-creation aspects of narrative nonfiction;
in other words, the craft aspects. How do you take the
raw material of lived experience and bend it into something shapely and satisfying, something living? And how
do you accomplish this without bending the truth too
far? We spend the first half of the course practicing
storytelling techniques like description and scene-setting, dialogue, character (in its nonfiction sense),
exposition, etc., all of this building to a complete draft
of a personal essay (10-20 pages). Along the way we
take avid notes on the shaped true stories of masters
like Saul Bellow, Joan Didion, Annie Dillard, Francine
Prose, David Sedaris, Virginia Woolf, and Montaignea
potent mix of old and new to inspire and instruct you!

Wired for Story: Five Steps to
Creating an Irresistible Novel
X 488.22 English 1.5units

Every writer wants two things: to tell a story that hooks
readers and never lets them go, and to find a way to
accomplish that without going through the long slog of
endlessly writing draft after draft. This workshop gives
you actionable ways to meet both goals. We examine
the five steps to take before you start writing that will
save you months (or years) of hard work, not to mention
heartache and frustration. Instead of rooting around in
your plot for the story, you unearth the key story elements beneath the plot that bring it to life, drive it forward, and give it meaning. These elements have little
to do with the surface plot or writing well and everything to do with what were hardwired to respond to in
every story we read. Learning what your readers brain
craves, and why, allows you to zero in on what your
story is really about before you write word one (or, if
youre already started, before you write another word).

Power Up Your Writing:

Deeper Characters, Deeper Truths m

How do writers create work that electrifies readers and
stays with them long after they have turned the last
page? One key is that they create characters who live
on in the readers minds; another is that they dig into
their own hearts and minds to reveal deeper truths.
Whether youre writing fiction, poetry, memoir, or
essay, this course helps you to do both. The process
of being able to create memorable characters includes
building the vivid worlds they live in, and exploring how
they reveal who they areand what they want
through action and speech, as well as through what
they own, wear, value, and desire. The body as a metaphor for feelings about ourselves and others is
explored, and visual artspainting, sculpture, photographyoffer pathways to get at your own truths. In
revising your work, you gain tools for going deep into
the story to reveal rich, new insights. Suitable for

Scene Writing:
Breathing Life into Page m

What makes a scene a scene? The scene is the bedrock of fiction and something that many writers know
intuitively, yet when they sit down to write, that knowledge can become difficult to translate onto the page.
One answer to this question is change. In this way, you
can think of a scene as a micro story. But what is
change? In this workshop, for short story writers and
novelists, you break down these abstractions into
manageable, understandable parts: dialogue, subtext,
setting, conflict. And above all, the element that informs
the others: character. Each scene has a purpose: to
deepen character, to move the plot forward, or, with any
luck, both. Through close-reading of published fiction,
you interrogate what a scene is, why it works, and what
you can steal for your own writing. Where do you begin
and end a scene? How do you draw a reader in and
make them want to turn the page? How do you make
a scene feel real? When and how do you reveal information? In this workshop, you answer these questions
by drafting and revising individual scenes that will build
into a short story or novel chapter. Enrollment limited
to 15 students.

famous six-word story captures how a compelling story
can be told in just a few words. It should come as no
surprise that in our fast-paced, Twitter-dominated
society, micro stories/flash essays/short-shorts are in
demand by publishers. For creative writers, flash prose
is often a rewarding form to write. Generally under
1,000 words, and often under 500, flash prose pieces
can provide a welcome break from longer projects while
keeping our writing muscles active. In addition, producing material appropriate for publication in a relatively
short time can foster a sense of tangible accomplishment. In this workshop, you learn how to craft short
prose (nonfiction and/or fiction) for maximum effect
through the use of helpful prompts; exchange critiques
to help you polish your flash stories and essays for
potential publication; and read examples of effective
flash prose for class discussion about the craft elements that make them successful. Expect to produce

Creating Universes, Building Worlds:

The Short Story in Science Fiction
and Fantasy m
Writing the Short Story:

Intermediate Workshop m

What makes a scene a scene? The scene is the bedrock of fiction and something that many writers know
intuitively, yet when they sit down to write, that knowledge can become difficult to translate onto the page.
One answer to this question is change. In this way, you
can think of a scene as a micro story. But what is
change? In this workshop, for short story writers and
novelists, you break down these abstractions into
manageable, understandable parts: dialogue, subtext,
setting, conflict. And above all, the element that informs
the others: character. Each scene has a purpose: to
deepen character, to move the plot forward, or, with any
luck, both. Through close-reading of published fiction,
you interrogate what a scene is, why it works, and what
you can steal for your own writing. Where do you begin
and end a scene? How do you draw a reader in and
make them want to turn the page? How do you make
a scene feel real? When and how do you reveal information? In this workshop, you answer these questions
by drafting and revising individual scenes that will build
into a short story or novel chapter. Enrollment limited
to 15 students.

Story Structure for the Novel m

Many aspiring novelists write with the hope that inspiration will come. The result is time wasted on a flabby
novel with no clear shape and a sagging pace. On the
other hand, story structure gives your novel a skeleton;
it forms the bones of your story. And just as adding
flesh and clothing to a body makes that body more
unique, so does any creative addition the writer makes
to his or her basic structure. This course teaches you
how to build that skeleton, from a solid premise line to
building the moral argument of your novel. You ensure
that your novel has what story structure guru John
Truby calls the seven key steps, and you learn how
reversals and reveals, as well as character wants and
needs, can drive your story to a satisfying conclusion.
Exercises focus on structural elements such as character ghosts, story world, and more, and by the end of
the course, you have in-hand a six-page synopsis that
works. In addition, for most weeks, you submit six
pages of writing that relate to a particular structural
element. For technical requirements see page4. Enrollment limited to 15 students. &

Story Analysts POV m

Story analysts are the gatekeepers of the Hollywood
studio system who decide whether a screenplay goes
further up the pipeline for greenlighting. The typical
studio reader has covered and analyzed thousands of
screenplays and treatmentsand thus knows in voluminous detail what works, what doesnt, and why.
Designed for writers with a solid grounding in feature
film writing basics, this course, taught by a veteran
studio story analyst, teaches you proven principles to
clear the most important hurdles to your screenplays
success. You learn how to create different kinds of
conflict, construct the world of the story, write effective
backstories that layer the characterization, craft characters that exemplify the storys theme, and fashion
vivid scene descriptions that can lure a studio reader
into receptivity of your screenplay. Come armed with a
four-to-five page outline, and by the end of this course,
you leave with a five-to-seven page treatment that

Writing Comedy for All Mediums

This workshop caters to aspiring comedy writers as well
as drama and action writers who want to learn how to
infuse comedy into their scripts. To write a comedy
sketch that works is a great bow to have in your writing
arsenal because it can be ground zero for many different writing forms, including feature, half hour, animation, and of course, sketch comedy shows. It is also a
great technique for the growing webisode market or
comedic short films. You take your idea and turn it into
a comedy sketch with a beginning, middle, and end and
with a lot of humor and character. The course replicates
a writers room where you learn to throw out your ideas
and get feedback as to where to go with them, through
writing, rewriting, and hearing different takes. You learn
the art of collaboration or go solo with feedback, if
thats more your style. Find out what works and what
doesnt in a collaborative, positive, creative atmosphere.
The last class is a special read-through where the class
performs your sketches. The course also features guest
speakers who include writers, producers, and performers primarily from the comedy world (subject to availability.) Course may be taken as a certificate program

The courses I took at the Writers Program were so
helpful in teaching me screenplay structure and
simple but crucial tools like how to rewrite. It was
also such a nice way to feel a sense of community in
this very solitary endeavor. Jim Staahl was especially
great, not only with what he taught me about the
craft, but also with his general supportiveness about
my prospects as a writer. He showed a great deal of
kindness about my writing, which is not always ones
introduction to Hollywood.

The TV Business Present and Future:

What Writers Need to Know NOW

Taught by an executive with more than 20 years of
experience buying and selling content, this course
provides you with a window into the more than 70
broadcast, cable, and digital providers dotting TVs
landscape today, and teaches you what you need to do
to prepare yourself to succeed in it. You first get
grounded in the evolution of cable growth and streaming as disruptors to the process of buying, selling, and
making television, and then dive deeply into the process
of pitching, developing and writing a story, outline and
script, and ultimately, into shooting your first season.
Weekly high-profile guest speakers illuminate specific
aspects of these processes and discuss how and why
they have gotten their favorite projects made. The
course also touches on the marketing and promotional
requirements of successful shows, and challenges you
to evaluate current market trends and speculate upon
the future of the business: will all content be accessed
through streaming services, and if so, what will it take
to write, create, and produce those services? Will
content get shorter and shorter as more floods the
marketplace? How will the traditional networks that
make 42-minute dramas and 21-minute comedies
survive? Designed for beginning as well as experienced
writers and of interest to aspiring producers, this course
includes several short assignments designed to help
you deepen your knowledge of the TV business and
chances of professional success; no student scripts will

its pilot episode. If the viewer isnt grabbed in the first

it different from all other forms of screenwriting? What
makes a good one work and a bad one fail? And how
can you be sure yours is one of the winners? In this

and discuss which pilots best launched their respective
series. Emphasis is on identifying the common structural elements of all successful pilots, gaining an
understanding of weekly franchise versus series
mythology, and crafting long-term character arcs. We

Advanced Courses
Rewriting Your One-Hour Spec or Pilot
Script: Advanced Workshop

Whether youve written a pilot or a spec of an existing
one-hour drama, your goal is the same: to dig deeper,
raise the stakes higher, stretch your characters further
to make your script one that will leave an indelible mark
on its readers. If youre writing a pilot, have you introduced us to characters and situations that we want to
come back to week after week? If youre writing a spec
of an existing show, have you been true to the characters and situations as we know them, and still told a
story that is somehow new? In this course, you review
the choices your characters make, the consequences
of those choices, and how to make those consequences
more dramatic. You look at your actions, your pacing,
your tension and your stakes, among other things. The
goal: to improve your script until its a story that
demands the readers attention. Prerequisite: Submit a
one-hour spec script or original pilot you intend on
rewriting in the class; for instructions on submitting a
script see page 173. Visitors not permitted. Restricted
to Enroll request. Internet access required to retrieve
course materials. &

Writing Compelling Scenes and

Sequences for Television
785.97 Film & Television

Successful television writing requires a different form
of scene construction than feature film writing-which is
why agents and managers can tell after reading a
scene or two of a spec if an aspiring TV writer understands how to write for this medium. This one-day class
teaches you how to conceive, write, and edit professional-caliber scenes and sequences for television
pilots and spec episodes. By analyzing great scenes
from both comedy and drama shows, you come to a
deeper understanding of how to weave emotional
context, narrative intensity, visceral stakes, essential
context, organic escalations, and high-impact pacing
together to write the kind of scenes that can truly make
you stand out. The course also covers how scenes are
put together to form sequences, the backbone of any
successful TV pilot or spec script. Perfect for both
experienced writers and beginners. Advance enrollment
required; no enrollment at the door.

ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES & SERIES

UCLA Extension offers more than 100 Academic
Senateapproved certificates and 31 course series
(see pages 176-177 for a partial listing).
ESTABLISHING CANDIDACY
Our website (uclaextension.edu) presents compre
hensive descriptions of all certificates and series.
Each academic certificate program and course
series requires an application; however, most pro
grams are open-enrollment. Each program descrip
tion includes a complete explanation of the aca
demic requirements and details, such as whether
the program extends eligibility for international stu
dents to enter the U.S. to study. Prospective stu
dents are encouraged to establish candidacy as
soon as possible as the terms and conditions of
award are fixed by the date of your candidacy.
Curricula are subject to change. Please note: appli
cation fees are not transferable or refundable.
Upon payment of the application fee and application

approval, candidacy is established for a period of
time covering normal progress toward completion.
The duration of normal progress varies by program,
but is generally calculated for a pace of 18 units per
yearless than half time for a fulltime working
adult. If you allow your candidacy to lapse and later
decide to reestablish candidacy, you must pay the
full candidacy fee and are subject to the curriculum
rules in effect at that time.
To ensure currency and relevance of your program,
most courses must be completed within five years
of your award date. This means that courses earned
more than five years before your award date that are
part of your record and your curriculum may have to
be repeated even if earned with a passing grade.
Most programs allow for limited amount of advanced
standing and the waiver of certain curricular require
ments based on coursework completed at other
accredited institutions; for details, contact the pro
gram counselor. Each programs public contact is
announced on each certificate page on the site or call
(800) 825-9971 or email enroll@uclaextension.edu
and ask to be referred to your programs counselor.
REQUESTING THE AWARD

To monitor your progress toward completing your
academic certificate program or series, use the My
Academic Certificates and Series link at the website.
When you have completed the final requirement,
your counselor will be notified. Your counselor will
verify your information and expedite the posting of
your award to transcript and produce the Certificate
(for Academic Certificate Programs) or Award of
Completion (for Series). If you wish to continue
completing additional electives, let your counselor
know and the posting of your award can be deferred
until you are ready. Students who complete their
academic certificate programs with a GPA of 3.5 or
higher have the honor Awarded with Distinction
cited on the certificate and posted to transcript.
Awards are posted only after final grades have been
recorded. Formal graduation exercises are con
ducted annually at the end of each spring.

General Information
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
PRIVACY NOTIFICATION
The University of California is committed to creating

and maintaining a community where all individuals
who participate in University programs and activities
can work and learn together in an atmosphere free
of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. Every
member of the community should be aware that the
University prohibits sexual harassment and sexual
violence, and that such behavior violates both law
and University policy. The University will respond
promptly and effectively to reports of sexual harass
ment and sexual violence, and will take appropriate
action to prevent, to correct, and when necessary, to
discipline behavior that violates our policy.
Furnishing all information required on forms pre

sented by UCLA Extension is mandatory with the
exception of Social Security number (SSN), date of
birth, gender, educational level, and ethnic identity.
Failure to provide required information will delay or
may even prevent completion of the action for which
the form is being filled out.
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual

advances, requests for sexual favors, and other
verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual
nature. Sexual harassment is conduct that explicitly
or implicitly affects a persons employment or edu
cation, or interferes with a persons work or educa
tional performance, or creates an environment such
that a reasonable person would find the conduct
intimidating, hostile, or offensive. Sexual harassment
includes sexual violence.
If you believe you are a victim of sexual or domestic
violence and you wish to report it, contact your local
police department. If the incident occurred on or near
the UCLA campus, report it to the UCLA Police
Department. If you have been raped, for an immedi
ate medical examination and evidence preservation,
go to your nearest emergency room. For further
information about getting help, see the information
provided by or go directly to the Rape Treatment
Center at the Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center,
1250 16th Street, Santa Monica, CA.
COMPLAINT RESOLUTION
Experience has demonstrated that many complaints
of sexual harassment can be effectively resolved
through informal intervention. Individuals who expe
rience what they consider to be sexual harassment
are advised to confront the alleged offender imme
diately and firmly.
All Extension students and instructors who believe they
have been sexually harassed are encouraged to contact
the Department of Student and Alumni Services for
complaint resolution: UCLA Extension, Suite 113, 10995
Le Conte Ave., Westwood; Voice/TTY: (310) 825-7031;
studentcompliance@uclaextension.edu. View the
Universitys full Policy on Sexual Harassment and Sexual
Violence at policy.ucop.edu/doc/4000385/SHSV.
NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY
The University of California, in accordance with
applicable Federal and State law and University pol
icy, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, preg
nancy, physical or mental disability, medical condi
tion, ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation,
citizenship, or service in the uniformed services. The
University also prohibits sexual harassment. This
nondiscrimination policy covers admission, access,
and treatment in University programs and activities.
Inquiries regarding the Universitys student-related
nondiscrimination policies may be directed to the
Department of Student and Alumni Services, UCLA
Extension, 10995 Le Conte Ave., Room 770, Los
Angeles, CA 90024-1333, or call (310) 825-7031,
or email studentcompliance@uclaextension.edu.
Information that is not required but which we ask

you to volunteer (such as gender, educational level,
and ethnic identity) will be used solely for statistical
purposes to measure the diversity of the audience
we serve.
File complaints with the Department of Education

regarding alleged violations of the rights accorded
you by the federal act.
FERPA allows Universities to confirm attendance and
publish directories of their students without their prior
consent, but requires a procedure to be presented
allowing you to opt out. Certain conferences and
short courses are designed to support professional
networking opportunities and will include provisions
for nametags and the sharing of participant rosters.
When planned with such support, notice will be
provided in the course listing. Students may opt out
of planned participant rosters by sending an e-mail
to records@uclaextension.edu.
If you do not have or could not provide us with your

SSN/TIN, you will be permitted to enroll; however,
UCLA Extension will not be able to provide the IRS
with evidence of fee payments that might entitle you
to tax credits provided under the Taxpayer Relief Act
of 1997. Each year in December, UCLA Extension
will conduct an annual solicitation of students whose
records are subject to IRS reporting but where the
SSN/TIN field remains blank, this to ensure that an
oversight on your part can be addressed. You may
append your record online at any time by logging in
to the Student Portal, or submit IRS form W-9S by
mail to UCLA Extension Enrollment Services, 10995
Le Conte Ave., Room 113, Los Angeles, CA 90024.
UCLA Extension routinely reports its student census to
the National Student Clearinghouse. Those seeking
deferments for repayment of student loans may wish to
provide their SSN to expedite the deferment process.
Consistent with California practice for amending tax
returns, UCLA Extensions interest in retaining SSN
for reporting purposes expires four years beyond the
tax year in which you enroll. SSN data are stored in
an encrypted state. You may request at any time to
have your SSN data deleted.
