Checklist

Things to do before you leave UCLA:

  • Visit the Commencement website.
  • Stay connected by joining the UCLA Alumni Association through GradPak.
  • Collect on professors’ promises of letters of recommendation. Even if graduate school isn’t your plan right now, your interests may change later.
  • Network as much as you can while you still have a chance. Connections are still the way to go, even after you’ve landed your first job.
  • Sign up for BruinWorks, the online professional networking site for UCLA alumni. As a student, you can begin by using the Career Network
  • Take a celebratory wade in the Inverted Fountain.
  • Enjoy your flexible schedules and late mornings, before the nine-to-five grind becomes a reality.
  • Go to Spring Sing in May.
  • Order your cap and gown from Grad Etc and pick them up before commencement. Bring your Alumni Association coupon to get money back.
  • Contribute to Student Giving. UCLA's longstanding tradition of giving back begins with you.
