During times of limited availability, or when appropriate, in some circumstances students may be referred to REACH to address their questions.

Appointment information for scheduled appointments is always available on MyUCLA -> Academics -> Appointments

If you are not able to keep this appointment, please cancel this meeting on MyUCLA so that we may assist other students; multiple missed appointments may result in students not being able to schedule appointments in the future.

Advising Appointments via Zoom
Once your advising appointment has been scheduled, you will be emailed a link or sent a link through Message Center to join a Zoom meeting with a specific advisor. Please click the link in the email or message to join the appointment at your scheduled time. You will be required to show your Bruin ID or other photo identification at the start of the appointment. Please be patient if you join the Zoom meeting and your advisor is not yet available. Please do not join this meeting while driving.

Advising Appointments In Person

Once your advising appointment has been scheduled, you will receive an email confirmation. Please come to A-316 Murphy Hall at the time of your scheduled appointment. You will be required to show your Bruin ID or other photo identification at the start of the appointment. Please note that in case of illness or other emergency, this appointment may need to be rescheduled or converted into a Zoom meeting. If so, you will receive an email notification with the Zoom information.

In light of the University-wide holiday closure, College Academic Counseling will be closed beginning Saturday, December 22, 2024 through January 1, 2025.  We will reopen on Thursday, January 2, 2025.  

While Message Center will remain open, please note that we will not be reviewing or responding to any messages before we return on January 2nd.  To aid us in supporting our students, we kindly ask that a student not submit multiple messages to us (regarding the same inquiry) during this time.

Wishing you and your loved ones a restful holiday break and a happy and healthy New Year!
