Incoming Fall 2025 Students
Congratulations on your admission to UCLA! At this time, we ask that you please refrain from visiting the BruinCard office or scheduling an appointment for your first card. Undergraduate students will receive their BruinCard during orientation if they submitted a photo by their session's respective deadline. Graduate or special program students may receive specific instructions for obtaining their card.
You may schedule an appointment after September 1, 2025 if:
- you did not receive your card during undergraduate orientation.
- you did not receive special instructions from your graduate department about obtaining a BruinCard.
BruinCard Appointment / Walk-in
Both appointment and walk-in services are available from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. at 123 Kerckhoff Hall, Monday through Friday. We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment in order to designate a service time and improve the efficiency of your office visit.
Pick-Up Appointment Requirements
For first-time, replacement, or exchange BruinCards, the cardholder must:
- Be an active University member
- Have an approved BruinCard photo on file
- Have sufficient BruinCard Easy Pay funds if applicable (replacement cost is $25.00, exchange is $5.00, and first-time is free). You may also pay with a credit/debit card in person.
