Academic Advising Schedule and Information(Effective Summer 2025):
Virtual Drop-In Advising
Virtual Drop-In Advising conducted via Zoom:
Day and Time: Mondays, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
CaSB offers drop-in advising virtually starting SUMMER 2025. The virtual drop-in session will be from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM every Monday, given that the CaSB advisor is available. The Zoom meeting information is sent out every Monday morning before 10:30 AM to confirm that CaSB will be conducting virtual drop-ins. If CaSB will not be offering virtual drop-ins on a given Monday, then a cancellation announcement will be made instead. CaSB will either send students the Zoom invite link OR an announcement cancelling virtual drop-ins via BruinLearn every Monday before 10:30 AM. Since the CaSB undergraduate advisor will be managing the waiting room and seeing students, sometimes communication with the waiting room can be difficult. We have automated messages that are sent to the waiting room when 1. a student joins, and 2. when drop-ins are at capacity and seeing the CaSB advisor is unlikely. As long as a student joins and fills out the sign-in sheet, which they will receive the link to in the waiting room, before 2:00 PM, a student is likely to be able to see the CaSB academic advisor.
Seeing the CaSB academic advisor during the virtual drop-in window is not dependent on the time the student joins. Instead, a student must join the waiting room to receive the sign-up sheet. The sign-up sheet determines the order students will meet with the CaSB academic advisor.

Remote(Zoom) 1:1 Advising Appointments can be booked by students via MyUCLA.

Considerations for Advising Appointments:
If, for any reason, you prefer a phone appointment, please specify “Phone Appt” in the “Description” section when booking a remote appointment.
Appointments are scheduled for 20 minutes, but may last up to 30 minutes.
Please be mindful of other students when booking appointments and, if needed, please cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 2 hours in advance so another student can have your time slot.
Please be on time for appointments. If you are more than 5 minutes late, your appointment will be considered a “No-Show” and you will need to reschedule. If a student misses (or cancels with less than 2 hours’ notice) three or more appointments in a quarter, students will lose access to the online booking system and will have to email the counselor to set up an appointment.
CaSB only has one Academic Advisor, so it can be difficult to find an appointment during high-volume times of the quarter. This includes when enrollment opens for a quarter and the weeks leading up to finals. If an urgent appointment is needed, the CaSB advisor will NOT make exceptions to book 1:1 advising appointments to meet with students. It is the responsibility of the student to meet with the CaSB academic advisor during the virtual drop-in window OR to book a 1:1 appointment with the CaSB academic advisor.
CaSB Undergrad BRUIN LEARN Page: Effective Winter 2023, this is the primary method of mass communication for the CaSB Undergraduate Office. The BRUIN LEARN forums are used to inform current students.
You will receive email alerts when a new message is posted to BRUIN LEARN. If you want to view past announcements, you can log in to the site and view the forum using your UCLA login and password. Note that email notifications will be sent to the email address that you have on file on your student record.
