Paying your enrollment deposit starts your Bruin Bound journey. It tells us you’re ready to join the Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox community and can’t wait to be a Bruin!

How it Works

During Bruin Bound Summer, you’ll receive a link to the Class Registration Survey, which helps us work together to handcraft a great class schedule for you. This is where you'll indicate your major and schedule preferences.

In order to fill out the Class Registration Survey, you’ll need to watch the Enrollment Services orientation video and complete a short quiz in your . Upon completion, you’ll be taken to your Class Registration Survey.

After receiving your survey, our academic advisors will map out your class schedule this summer and will notify you when you’ve been enrolled. You can then schedule an optional Class Confirmation Appointment with your admissions counselor to review your schedule together. Make sure to bring your questions with you to that meeting!

What to Do

• In order to begin classes in the fall, your final high school transcript (with proof of graduation) must be sent to Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox.
• Prior to class registration, you will need to complete the Annual Financial Agreement To Do list item on your MyÂ鶹´«Ã½Fox Tasks tile. Also, don't forget to sign your Release of Information form (you'll use your MyÂ鶹´«Ã½Fox login for this) if you'd like your parent or guardian to have access to your academic information. 
• Bringing in AP, IB, or college credit? Make sure your most recent official college transcript and/or AP or IB scores are sent to us. Students actively enrolled in college classes will receive their initial registration based on their current transcript evaluation. As updated transcripts, with final grades, are received/evaluated your registration will be adjusted accordingly.

On-Campus Jobs

If you plan to work on campus you'll need to apply for a job on Handshake.  Jobs are typically posted throughout the summer and school year, so check back often to view new opportunities. Once class registration is complete, incoming students are eligible to start working on campus as early as this summer.

Parking

Parking will be extremely limited this year due to construction on campus. Because of this, we highly recommend leaving your car at home during your first year, unless you plan to work off-campus. Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and shops are all within a safe walking distance from campus. If you plan to bring a car, you'll need to register it. Vehicle registration opens in July. Visit our  Parking 101 page for details.
