College Academic Counseling (CAC) Peer Counselors are undergraduate students in the College of Letters & Science who are trained to support students with questions about academic policies, deadlines, referrals, petitions, GE and degree requirements, the process for declaring majors and minors, tutoring resources, pre-health requirements, and program planning.  CAC Peer Counselors also manage and contribute to the CAC social media initiatives by creating content for the CAC Facebook  and Instagram  pages, and CAC YouTube Channel .

How to Meet with a CAC Peer Counselor

Currently, students can meet with CAC Peer Counselors on a drop-in basis during REACH Virtual Drop-in Advising Hours:

• Monday – Friday 10am – 3pm

Students can also meet CAC Peer Counselors during some of the College Academic Counseling quarterly workshops, and campus-wide events such as Major Blast, and Bruin Day.

*Please note that CAC Peer Counselors are not available during University holidays, intersession, or summer. 

CAC Peer Counselor Workshops

Pre-Med 101 Workshops
To support pre-health students, CAC Peer Counselors have created and host “Premed 101: A Guide to Being Pre-Med at UCLA” where students learn about the medical school admissions criteria, required prerequisite coursework, MCAT, pre-health resources on campus, and more. The Pre-Med 101 workshop is generally offered Fall quarter sometime during weeks 5 – 8.

Other Workshops
CAC Peer Counselors have also offered other workshops such as How to Get Involved in Research and supported other CAC workshops (e.g., Enrollment workshop, Graduation and Beyond) in the past.
