Office of Student Services

The TFT Office Student Services is the cornerstone of student success, catering to the diverse needs of students in all programs.

The Office of Student Services provides guidance on enrollment, academic advising, student engagement, and retention. Our services help students navigate their academic journey with confidence.

The Academic Advising staff support current TFT students with procedural requests, such as funding applications and petitions. Academic advisors connect students with campus resources, review degree progress, and ensure they stay on track for graduation.

The Admissions and Outreach branch manages the annual admissions cycle, including recruitment, application review, and acceptance.

What can we help you with?

Navigating Campus

Student Services is a core unit of the School of Theater, Film and Television. Our office provides current students guidance throughout their UCLA experience, helping TFT students with policy and serving as a bridge to the larger administrative offices on campus such as the Registrar’s Office and the Division of Graduate Education. The role of our academic counselors goes beyond mere guidance; they are pivotal in connecting students with the right campus resources that align with their individual aspirations.

Beyond the Numbers

Our Admissions and Outreach team is your first point of connection. Whether you’re exploring your options, navigating the application process, or making your final decision, we’re here to provide guidance every step of the way. Through tailored support, engaging events, and meaningful conversations, we help prospective students discover how our programs align with their goals and aspirations.

Progress-to-Degree

Academic Advising is an integral part of the TFT student experience. Supporting the curricular advising that students receive from their faculty, Student Services helps to provide TFT students with tools and a review of their degree progress to ensure they are on track and ready to graduate. Academic Advisors assist students with accurate information about requirements, policies and procedures.
