UCLA offers resources to support advisors through the process of training, onboarding, and professional development.  College Advisor Training is open to all academic advisors at UCLA and focuses on academic policy in the College.  Onboarding is the responsibility of each individual unit and is critical in setting a strong foundation for a staff member joining a team.  We have created a New Advisor Checklist to support you and your supervisor through the onboarding process.  While training includes what you need to know regarding academic policy, rules, and regulations, professional development at UCLA fosters continuous learning within a community of care.  Follow this link to learn more about onboarding, training, and professional development.
