Drop-In Advising Instructions

- Short-term course planning
- Questions about major/minor requirements

*Responses to inquiries sent via Message Center may take up to 7 business days.

Students are responsible for monitoring available sections and using the MyUCLA “Exchange” feature if they wish to change sections. If you are unable to attend your enrolled section, you will need to adjust your enrollment accordingly.
