Student Affairs plays a major role in outreach at UCLA and oversees the following student-centered efforts:

Early Academic Outreach Programs (EAOPrograms) is designed to increase the academic competitiveness of students in grades 9-12 for admission to UCLA, to increase the academic competitiveness of prospective applicants to UCLA graduate and professional schools, and to promote UC-eligibility and competitive eligibility among middle school students. The major emphasis of EAOPrograms is on students taking personal responsibility for their academic and personal achievement to be optimal learners. Students in 47 high schools and 32 middle schools receive assistance in developing an individualized academic plan for UC admission; college preparatory information; and test preparation and academic workshops. EAOPrograms include UC Bound, Career-Based Outreach Program, University Express, Community-Based EAOP, and the UCLA Antelope Valley Outreach Partnership.

Urban Collaborative is a partnership of three universities (UCLA, Loyola Marymount University, and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona) and three community-based organizations, which was formed in 1999 with the primary goal of increasing postsecondary opportunities and ensuring college access and success among educationally-disadvantaged youth.

BruinCorps is an initiative launched during the summer of 1997 in response to a national focus on literacy and community service. Its challenge is to provide synergy between community service and service learning efforts, to build collaboration and partnerships, and to connect community service with instruction and research. BruinCorps programs utilize federal work-study programs, national and state educational incentives, and awards to help prepare children in under-resourced communities by enhancing their skills for educational success. BruinCorps is a member of the AmeriCorps National Network.

The Administrative Office of the Vice Chancellor also serves as the Chancellor's liaison with the ADA/504 Compliance Office, ASUCLA, and the Student Fee Advisory Committee.
