Academic Counseling

College Academic Counseling

College Academic Counseling (CAC) is one of four undergraduate advising units of UCLA, which aim to guide the undergraduate career of students to reflect their academic and personal goals. CAC offers insight towards degree requirements, general education (GE) requirements, and credit transfers from AP/IB and community college, as well as developing a four year plan. We recommend students speak with a CAC counselor 1x/quarter to ensure that you are on the right track towards graduation.

To learn more about CAC and use their services, visit the CAC website or stay connected through the following:

Note: College Academic Counseling is open to students with majors within the College of Letters and Sciences. See list below for other advising units.
