Get Your UCLA BruinCard 

The BruinCard is not just an official university ID, it's your Passport to Life at UCLA. Get one at the BruinCard Center in 123 Kerckhoff Hall.

Access UCPath Portal 

UCPath Portal is an online, self-service tool that gives employees the ability to view and update personal information, sign up for direct deposit, update tax withholdings, view or enroll in benefits, see vacation and sick leave balances and more. New employees will have access to the Portal on their effective job start date. However, new employees need their Single Sign-on (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA or DUO) set up in order to log into the Portal.

Enroll in Direct Deposit 

Direct Deposit electronically transfers your payments to your bank account while keeping your payroll information strictly confidential. If you prefer Direct Deposit, you can enroll through the UCPath Portal. To learn how to sign up for Direct Deposit, go here.

Enroll in Benefits 

If you are eligible for health and welfare benefits, you may enroll yourself and your eligible family members within your 31-day period of initial eligibility (PIE) through the UCPath Portal. To learn how to enroll in UC Benefits, go here.

If you are eligible for retirement benefits, you have 90 days from your eligibility date to choose a primary retirement benefit - either Pension Choice or Savings Choice. Choose wisely as your enrollment window closes once you submit a choice and no option selected will result in automatic enrollment in Pension Choice. Enroll before your 90-day period ends at myUCretirement.

Attend UCLA New Employee Orientation 

Some employees may be required to attend the New Employee Orientation as soon as possible following their date of hire or before their period of initial eligibility expires (preferably) to learn about benefits and what makes UCLA a "best in class" employer. LHR will register you for an orientation session at the UCLA Wilshire Center.

Complete Required Compliance Training 

All UC employees must complete compliance training requirements specific to the work they perform at UCLA. Log in to UC Learning Center and click "Required Training". Employees should complete all required compliance training during normal working hours.
