<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>SRP is Student Research Program. SRP 99 gives you minimum of 2 units of Pass/No Pass credit, so it's basically a way to get academic recognition or credit for helping out in a research lab. Usually, if you like the lab you work in, an SRP 99 can lead into a SRP 199 directed research, which can give you basically anywhere from 2-8 graded units. 199s are useful, as they're basically free As as long as you don't mess up, turn in a paper/poster, and don't **** off your PI too much.</p>

<p>where is the srp 99 class? like under what category on the schedule of classes? </p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>its not on the schedule. you sign a contract with the prof/pi and then you get two units for it.</p>

<p>it depends on what department your 'faculty mentor' is under. then you sign up through my ucla under contract courses.</p>

<p>the deadline for SRP has already passed (friday of 2nd week), so its too late to get credit for this quarter.</p>
