The Dashew Center would like to inform all international students holding an F-1 or a J-1 status that the   March 2020 guidance   issued by   Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP )   pertaining to online course enrollment exception will come to an end at the end of 2022–23 academic year. What is the F-1/J-1 Visa Guidance from March 2020? The March 2020 SEVP guidance was put in place during the COVID-19 global pandemic as an accommodation for the federal regulations regarding what a full-time enrollment for international students (F-1/J-1) entails. Per this guidance, international students on the F1/J-1 status were allowed to enroll in one in-person course in combination with online courses to meet the full-time enrollment requirement. Students who had established their F-1/J-1 status at UCLA prior to March 2020, were allowed to enroll in fully online courses to meet the full-time enrollment requirement. For the past couple of academic years, SEVP has ...

I am sending you a quick reminder to share with your graduate students. The Grad Slam registration deadline is   this Friday , and the last two professional development workshops for Grad Slam prep will take place   this week . The workshops are open to all graduate students regardless of whether they are registered for Grad Slam or not (see further details below). Grad Slam and the professional development workshops are excellent ways for students to gain valuable skills, including public speaking and research organization ,   that will prove invaluable in today’s competitive job market. In addition, past participants say the contest helps them focus their research in a way that allows them to better secure grants, land nonacademic jobs and share the value of their research with people outside their field of expertise.   As always, thank you for sharing this with your graduate students, and please let me know if there are any questions.

The Collegium of University Teaching Fellows (CUTF) is an innovative program that creates unique learning opportunities for both graduate students and undergraduate students on campus. Through the program, some of UCLA’s very best advanced graduate students have the opportunity to develop and teach a lower division seminar in their field of specialization on a one-time only basis. This experience serves as a “capstone” to the teaching apprenticeship, preparing them for the academic job market and their role as future faculty. At the same time, undergraduates enrolled in CUTF seminars have the chance to take courses that are at the cutting edge of a discipline and to experience the benefits of participating in a small-seminar environment. Each Winter quarter, graduate students who will advance to doctoral candidacy by the following Fall may submit an application to their home department to develop and teach their own lower-division course. Departments are asked t...
