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.
