First Day of Summer School

Those of your who signed up for Summer Session A should be waltzing your way onto campus right about...now. (Or maybe sometime tomorrow. Or Wednesday) Congrats to you go-getters who decided to get a jump on your UCLA education! High school students, current students, admitted students, and all you regular folk are welcome to take classes over the summer at UCLA. It's not too late to sign up for Session C, which starts on August 6. Undergraduate Admissions serves as the student services office for Summer Sessions, so come on by if you have any questions.

As Kathy wrote in her post, the campus gets decidedly less peopled over the summer. And it gets decidedly hotter, too! My favorite ways to cool off are to walk down to Pinkberry in Westwood (although the walk kind of undoes the coolness of the fro yo); cat nap in Powell Library's rotunda, where it's chill in both sense of the word; or stroll through the Fowler Museum and enjoy the art in the climate-controlled galleries. I should try going for a swim in one of our many on-campus pools one of these days. Oh, and did I mention that we have two Baskin Robbins on campus?

Hi everyone,

I'm a newly admitted transfer student at UCLA, and I'm on F1 Visa( International student). Today I checked my degree progress report on URSA and I saw that I'm required to take the ESL Exam. How could it happen??? Since I transfered from a California Community College and I finished 2 transferable English composition courses( equivalent to English 3 and 4W) both with grade A, I think I should be waived the ESL Exam right?

Info on the UCLA website states:"Entering ESL transfer students who received a grade of B or better on the English 3 and 4 equivalent transfer courses are exempt from taking the ESLPE; all other transfer students are required to take the ESLPE"

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you very much.

Hi Kev,

Your best bet would be to send an email to the New Bruins account, or contact the international admissions adviser. You'll find information on both people on your New Bruins web page.

Hey Justine,

My transcripts were just updated, and I have to rush them in person to UCLA to make the deadline. They'll supposedly be ready for me to deliver on Monday by noon, so is that ok realizing that it's the actual 15th? If it is, where exactly do I drop them off?

I agree with justine here, the best option is to mail the admission adviser.

I'm in Indonesia. Very nice to read your article. I hope that in a moment later I visited there.
