New Student & Transition Programs (NSTP) is your next stop after submitting your SIR! We support your transition to UCLA through the Bruin to Bruin Project, New Student and Family Orientation, New Bruin Leadership Academy, and various other programs throughout the academic year. As you begin to plan your next steps at UCLA, the most important thing to remember from NSTP is that orientation is a mandatory requirement for all new students. In addition to providing important information about UCLA, orientation is an exciting time to meet other new students, receive academic advising for your major, and enroll in your fall quarter courses. Learn more about orientation and our various program offerings here: https://newstudents.ucla.edu.
We look forward to meeting all of our new Bruins and their families this summer at Orientation! Go Bruins! Follow 💙🐻💛
