The College offers academic advising and counseling to help students develop and thrive, both personally and academically, through individual meetings with an adviser in their advising unit: Academic Advancement Program, CAC-Athletics, College Academic Counseling, or Honors Programs. College advisers work with students to plan their programs, understand requirements and regulations, learn about available resources, navigate the university, and maximize their undergraduate careers.

Academic Advancement Program

Academic Advancement Program (AAP) values student diversity and fosters student empowerment. AAP counselors assist students in planning an academic program and meeting College and UC requirements. They also monitor degree progress and connect students with campus resources and opportunities. Counselors are available for scheduled or same-day appointments. Visit 1205 Campbell Hall or call 310-825-1481.

AAP peer counselors offer peer support and an undergraduate-focused view of life at UCLA. They also can assist students with planning an academic program and navigating campus resources.

CAC-Athletics

CAC-Athletics advisers are assigned to work with UCLA NCAA varsity student-athletes. Each team is assigned a specific advisor. The role of each adviser is to provide academic advising in the areas of program planning, academic difficulty advising, petitioning degree requirements, and major selection. CAC-Athletics advisers support students as they explore academic and personal goals, and aim to empower them to take ownership of their educational experience. CAC-Athletics advisers are trained to support students academically with NCAA regulations in mind.

CAC-Athletics is located in the Office of Academic Excellence (OAE) in Suite 127 of the JD Morgan Center. Student-athletes can contact this office at (310) 825-8699 or by Message Center.

College Academic Counseling

Academic advising helps students develop and thrive both personally and academically in individual meetings, workshops, and other events to plan their programs, understand requirements and regulations, learn about available resources, navigate UCLA, and maximize their undergraduate careers. From orientation to graduation, CAC offers information, assistance, and support so that students can make well-informed decisions about their course of study and degree progress as well as to engage in their undergraduate careers effectively.
