• CARE Program
  The Campus Assault Resources & Education program provides a safe place for survivors of sexual violence to get confidential support.

• Title IX/Sexual Harassment Prevention
  Every member of the University community should be aware that the University will not tolerate sexual harassment and that such behavior is prohibited both by law and by University policy. The University will take whatever action is necessary to prevent and correct such behavior and, if appropriate, discipline persons whose behavior violates this policy. For more information on disciplinary actions, visit the website of the dean of students.

  Any student who believes that she or he has been sexually harassed may contact a Sexual Harassment Information Center counselor for help and information. Complete details on contacting a counselor and a link to the complete UC policy on sexual harassment are available on the Dean of Students’ web site. Scroll down to “Student Conduct” and then select “Responding to Reports of Sexual Harassment.”

• Emergency Preparedness
  No one knows when an emergency will occur, so everyone should understand basic safety practices. Safety information is posted in UCLA classrooms and offices and printed in campus phone books. Be prepared to respond safely to fire, earthquake, or other emergency situations. Campus emergency announcements and bulletins are broadcast via e-mail, online on the UCLA Home Page, and through campus-wide voice mail messages. Details on UCLA’s emergency preparedness program, which includes emergency planning and procedures, seismic safety assessment, earthquake preparedness presentations, and emergency response information, and drills are available on the website.

Parking & Transportation

• Parking
  Current and incoming UCLA graduate students are eligible for student parking. However, because UCLA is in a densely populated urban area, parking for students near campus is very limited. Student parking on campus is assigned by a need-based point system that includes class standing, employment/academic obligations, and commuter distance. Apply for parking, by submitting a Student Parking Request Form prior to the quarterly deadline. Only a limited number of permits are issued to students each quarter.

  Student parking is generally assigned prior to the start of Fall Quarter classes and offered for the academic year. Individual commuter parking is generally granted for the academic year, with the option of paying a quarterly or annual fee. Those who pay the quarterly fee are automatically mailed a renewal form for the following quarter. Two-person and three-person carpool parking is granted for the quarter only.

• Bicycles
  Riding a bicycle is a fun, healthy, inexpensive way to get to campus. The UCLA Recreation Center provides shower and locker facilities to cycling students. More than 1,500 free bicycle parking spaces are available on campus. UCLA recently opened a Bicycle Community Center where students can rent bikes and tools or have trained staff fix their bicycle. The center is located next to the Outdoor Adventure Center in the northwest corner of the Wooden Center.
• Motorcycles and Scooters
  Motorcycles, scooters and mopeds park free at UCLA in designated spaces. There are nearly 1,200 motorcycle/scooter parking spaces, including specially designed areas in parking lots and structures. Motorcyclists and scooters are only required to display a permit when parked in a designated parking stall in an area/lot where a permit is required.
