MyUCLA
MyUCLA provides the easiest way to gain real-time access to academic, financial, and personal records. The site is designed with an intuitive visual interface that takes you through the different steps of the procedure you are trying to accomplish, whether it be to view your Study List, check your BruinBill, change address information, see your term grades, or order transcripts.

CONTINUOUS REGISTRATION POLICY
Unless granted a formal leave of absence, graduate students are expected to register every term, including the term in which their degree or certificate is to be awarded. If you need to withdraw from the term, contact our office through the MyUCLA Message Center or at msengrol@seas.ucla.edu immediately. 

IF ELIGIBLE, YOU MAY REQUEST A LEAVE OF ABSENCE (DUE BY THE 2ND WEEK OF THE QUARTER IN WHICH YOU INTEND TO TAKE THE LEAVE) OR WITHDRAW FROM THE UNIVERSITY. WITHDRAWING FROM THE UNIVERSITY WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO REAPPLY TO UCLA/MSOL. (IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER FOR THE UPCOMING TERM BY WEEK 2, YOUR ENROLLMENT IS SUBJECT TO WITHDRAWAL.)

MSOL REFUND POLICY
This policy is the only exception to the Registrar’s Term Calendar. As an MSOL Student, you may receive a *full refund up until the end of the 6th week (Friday) of a given quarter. Thereafter, the following percentages apply:

7th week 50%
8th week 0%
9th week 0%
10th week 0%

STUDENT ACCOUNTS 
All students are assigned a BAR (Billing and Accounts Receivable) account, also known as “BruinBill.”  This account records all charges and payments associated with registration, along with other service charges that may be assessed to students. There is a charge of $4,400.00 for each class you are enrolled in.

REGISTRATION FEES & DEADLINES
Please view the Registrar’s Term Calendar for registration deadlines and when fees/penalties pay be incurred.

PAYMENT METHODS
Please visit BruinBill Payment Methods.

EMPLOYER SPONSORSHIP (Third Party Sponsorship)
If your employer is paying for the cost of your tuition, it is referred to as a “third party sponsorship.” Sponsorships are tuition payment agreements where the organization (e.g., your employer) agrees to pay the student’s tuition, which requires an invoice from UCLA in order to pay the tuition fees. In order to initiate the invoicing process, the Third Party Sponsor must establish an association between sponsor and student by contacting the UCLA Student Accounts Office. Any authorization document from the sponsor (i.e. financial letter, student roster, letter agreement, contract, certification, application, communication, etc.) must be emailed to thirdpartysponsors@finance.ucla.edu listing the following information:

• Sponsored student(s)’ legal name and corresponding university identification number(s)
• Fees to be covered
• Duration of time that fees will be covered

TEXTBOOKS
Please refer to the UCLA Bookstore Textbooks page to order textbooks for each quarter.
