Save the dates for Bruin Family Weekend! Take part in this fun-filled opportunity to enjoy time with your student as you get a taste of campus life, hear from star faculty, learn about campus resources and take part in Bruin traditions. Registration will open later this month.
Yom Kippur Observance: Yom Kippur is one of the most widely observed and holiest days of the Jewish Year. It begins on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 24, and concludes on the evening of Monday, Sept. 25. Hillel at UCLA invites students and their families to observe the rituals of Yom Kippur.

UC Student Health Insurance: All registered students are automatically enrolled in UC SHIP, UCLA's medical insurance program. If your student would like to waive UC SHIP, they must submit a request by Sept. 25.

Career Exploration for Students: The UCLA Alumni Association brings alumni into campus experiences to train and prepare students for their careers. Encourage your student to take a look at hands-on programs during their time at UCLA and beyond.

True Bruin Values: At UCLA, we commit ourselves to the highest ethical standards. Now that your family is a part of the Bruin community, take a look at UCLA’s True Bruin Values and join us in pursuing a spirit of excellence and inclusivity.
