The Student Affairs organization
encompasses three major divisions under the umbrella of the Office
of the Vice Chancellor: |
| |
|
|
|
|
Within these divisions, there
are more than 20 departments that provide a wide range of
programs, services and educational experiences for UCLA students.
The scope and breadth of Student Affairs
is so far-reaching that every UCLA student—all 37,000
of them—has contact with at least one Student Affairs
division at some point. Here are just some of the ways that
Student Affairs works and connects with our students:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once admitted to the University,
students enroll in more than 121 majors in a wide range of
disciplines through the Registrar’s
Office, and approximately 50 percent receive need-based
aid through our Financial
Aid Office. With 93 percent of incoming freshmen now choosing
to live on campus, the Office
of Residential Life is another vital service for many
students. |
|
|
|
Student Affairs makes students’
welfare a priority, and each year the Arthur
Ashe Student Health & Wellness Center and Student
Psychological Services receive more than 200,000 visits.
Outreach efforts in these areas reflect a philosophy that
integrates the mind and body, helping students develop habits
that enhance their quality of life as active, engaged individuals
while enrolled at and after leaving UCLA. |
|
|
|
Our students appreciate the
breadth of the guidance, counseling and support they receive
from the following Student Affairs units: |
|
|
|
|
|
o Center for Student Programming
o Career Center
o Student Psychological Services
o Center for Women and Men
o Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Office
o Office of International Students and Scholars
o Dean of Students Office
o ADA/504 Compliance Office
o Student Legal Services
o Student Loan Services
o Community Programs Office |
|
|
|
|
Encouraging students to participate
fully in the campus experience, the Center
for Student Programming works with more than 700 registered
student organizations to advise, encourage and guide our students
in their pursuit of extracurricular activities, community
service involvement and student programming efforts. In addition,
more than 80 percent of our students take advantage of the
wide variety of athletic and recreational opportunities in
14 campus facilities managed by Cultural
& Recreational Affairs. |
|
|
|
|
We also aim to get UCLA students
into the wider community through BruinCorps programs, which foster an ethic of lifelong service among
UCLA students while assisting the University with its outreach
efforts. BruinCorps links community service activities, service
learning efforts, community partners, and instruction and
research as it serves children in under-resourced communities. |
|
|
Student-initiated programs
are fundamental to Student Affairs’ mission. The result
of a student-led referendum, the new Student
Activities Center houses a wide array of student services
and organizations, program offices, meeting rooms, common
and recreation areas. |
|
|
|
And finally, the Associated
Students of UCLA is a student-run, not-for-profit organization
that prepares students for life beyond university while delivering
essential services to UCLA students. ASUCLA is a veritable
leadership laboratory where thousands of students gain “real
world” experience in complex social and business environments,
such as student governments and media, as well as in a variety
of commercial enterprises (campus bookstores, cash food operations). |
|
|
These are only a few examples
of how Student Affairs reaches UCLA students on many levels.
In spite of considerable resource challenges over the last
decade, the Student Affairs operation at UCLA has consistently
provided all students with opportunities to make the absolute
best of the academic and broad educational offerings; to take
advantage of the teaching, research and service mission of
the University; and to have a campus experience that is both
inspiring and challenging. |
