Please create your MyUCLA Account, complete your Statement of Intent to Register/Statement of Legal Residence, and review the additional information below. ***Note: your SIR/SLR is non-binding

1. Create your MyUCLA account  

Previous UCLA students may logon directly to MyUCLA to complete this process. If you are new to UCLA, click Create UCLA Logon/Password under the “Sign In” box at MyUCLA. You will need your UCLA ID and date of birth to create your UCLA Logon.  

MyUCLA provides easily accessible, secure, real-time access to your financial and personal University records. The site is designed to walk you through the steps to access your records, from checking your billing account, changing address information or email address, to checking your registration status.   

MyUCLA is where you complete your SIR/SLR (Statement of Intent to Register/ Statement of Legal Residence). This is important to complete at your earliest convenience, as the SIR/SLR is necessary to complete before you can finalize your enrollment, apply for housing, and more.  

Step-by-step instructions

 2. Complete your STATEMENT OF INTENT TO REGISTER/STATEMENT OF LEGAL RESIDENCE  

To help us process and coordinate your admission and financial aid status, please complete the online Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) and Statement of Legal Residence (SLR) at MyUCLA.  

Please note:  The SIR and SLR are only available to you on MyUCLA once you have created an account and logged in.   

The SLR will ask you several questions to determine your residency for tuition purposes (in-state vs. out-of-state tuition). If you have any questions, you may contact the Campus Residence Deputy at residencedeputy@registrar.ucla.edu. 

Both forms are required to process your matriculation to the School of Medicine. The SLR must be completed with the SIR, regardless of your tuition status.   

3. Review ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  

• REGISTRATION AND ENROLLMENT  

As a DGSOM student, you will be automatically enrolled in classes during the summer enrollment period. Enrollment is handled by DGSOM and not main campus Registrar’s Office. You will also be eligible to receive the UCLA Health BruinCard (UCLA’s photo I.D.). The UCLA BruinCard is a mandatory student identification card that is used to electronically confirm student status and eligibility for services.   

• BRUINBILL  

Billing for student charges occurs online via the consolidated BruinBill; an online statement accessed by students through MyUCLA. You can manage BruinBill at my.ucla.edu 24/7. To access BruinBill, go to my.ucla.edu and log on. Select the Finances and Jobs tab, then BruinBill from the menu under the BruinBill section.    

BruinBill records University charges and payments associated with registration, as well as service charges that are assessed to students. BruinBill accounts are administered electronically and all students are issued an account. You are strongly encouraged to check your BruinBill account balances on the first business day of each month after enrollment. Students will receive bi-monthly email reminders prior to payment deadlines. All charges (including registration fees) must be paid in full by the 20th of each month or the preceding workday if the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday. A $20 delinquent fee is assessed for any late payment. Also, if registration fees are not paid in full by the payment deadline, a $50 late fee is assessed.  

Note: The UC Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP) fee is part of registration fees and is due at the time registration fees are paid. For information about waiving the UC SHIP fees, see http://www.studenthealth.ucla.edu.  

• FINANCIAL AID NOTIFICATIONS & DISBURSEMENT  

You will receive your Preliminary Award Letter through email via our UCLA Applicant System. You will only be able to see your official award notification in your MyUCLA records in July, prior to matriculation.  

Come July, the DGSOM Financial Aid Office will be in contact regarding additional instructions for Financial Aid including loan processes. 

If you receive financial aid, most financial aid funds are automatically credited to your BruinBill account prior to the beginning of the term. These funds pay your registration fees and other outstanding charges. The balance of any financial aid is distributed through your BruinBill account and is disbursed through BruinDirect, an electronic deposit process.  

Sign up for BruinDirect as soon as possible. This can be done when accessing your BruinBill account. Your early sign up will allow ample time to coordinate the automatic deposit process with your bank so that your funds will be available as soon as they are disbursed to your BruinBill account.
