Summer 2026 Academic Advising
Please see below for information on getting in touch with our advising office during the Summer.
Fall 2026 Enrollment — Advising Information
To support the increased demand for advising during the Fall 2026 enrollment period and provide timely assistance to as many students as possible, our office will transition to virtual drop-in advising only from June 15 through June 30. Scheduled advising appointments will not be available during this time.
Virtual drop-ins are intended for quick advising and enrollment-related questions. Students with more complex advising questions are welcome to attend drop-in advising for immediate guidance; however, discussions that require a longer appointment may need to be continued after enrollment, when regular advising appointments resume.
Students who are unable to attend drop-in hours may contact our office by email using the information provided below. Please note that response times may be longer during peak enrollment periods.
Please review the virtual drop-in schedule below for meeting times and access information. Our office will be closed on Friday, June 19 in observation of the Juneteenth holiday, and will reopen on Monday, June 22.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to supporting you during the Fall enrollment period.
Email
Neuroscience advisors can be contacted via email at neurosci@ucla.edu. UCLA students, please ensure to include your UID in your email correspondence.
Note: We aim to respond to all email inquiries as soon as possible, however please allow for up to 1-2 business days to receive a response.
Virtual Drop-In Advising
Virtual drop-in advising sessions are designated for quick advising questions that can be addressed within 5-10 minutes. These sessions operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Upon joining, students may need to wait in the virtual waiting room and will be admitted in the order that they joined once the advisor is available to assist them. To ensure meeting with an advisor, please join drop-ins at least 10 minutes prior to the end of the session.
Week of June 15-19 Drop-In Advising Schedule:
30-Minute Advising Appointments
Students can schedule a 30-minute advising appointment for in-depth inquiries that require a longer meeting. Advising appointments are available Monday – Friday, and are offered virtually and in-person (depending on advisor availability). Appointment slots for the upcoming week are released on Fridays. Please check the booking site consistently for openings if there are none immediately available. Our advising office is busy especially during peak times of the quarter (e.g., beginning of the quarter, enrollment periods, etc.), so if you are unable to schedule an advising appointment, please consider emailing us or attending a virtual drop-in session. Please plan to join your scheduled advising appointment on time and prepared. We offer a 10-minute grace period, however students must reschedule the advising appointment once the grace period has passed.
