Welcome to UCLA Exchange Program! Let’s get started by checking out Student Guide for your academic
journey!
Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language)
ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills.
Enrollment (课程注册) priority is given to degree students. If space is available, you may enroll. You will then be
asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for you.
Changing Your Course Enrollment List
You may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses
from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change.
Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new
course to the list, as other students may have dropped it.
Withdrawing from Courses
If you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule.
If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the
term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record
is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record.
Taking Exams

students. These exams, which students commonly use for practice, can give you an idea of how instructors ask
questions and what they regard as relevant material. You can also access the exams online.

Thriving in Your First Year of Work: A Practical Guide
Transitioning (过渡) from campus to the workplace is a significant step, bringing new responsibilities and
challenges. For most graduates, it’s the first time they are fully financially independent and dealing with a
professional environment. Adapting successfully requires more than just technical skills. Here are four essential
strategies to help you build a strong foundation for your career.
Set Clear Professional Goals
Begin by defining what you want to achieve in your role, both in the short and long term. Goals should be
challenging yet realistic, pushing you to grow without causing burnout. Break larger goals into attainable tasks
and create a timeline for completion. This structured approach turns abstract ambitions into a clear action plan,
providing direction and a sense of accomplishment as you progress.
Develop Workplace Communication
Effective interaction is significant. You will cooperate with colleagues, report to managers, and possibly
engage with clients. To build strong professional relationships, practice active listening and express your ideas
clearly and respectfully. Pay attention to non-verbal cues (提示) and be open to feedback. Understanding others’
viewpoints promotes teamwork and shows emotional intelligence, which is highly valued in any organization.
Master Time and Task Management
The workload can be overwhelming. Prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance. Use tools like
digital calendars or planners to schedule your day, allocating time for deep work, meetings, and breaks. Avoid
multitasking, as it often reduces efficiency. Instead, focus on completing one task well before moving to the next.
Staying organized is key to meeting deadlines and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Manage Your Finances Wisely
Your first salary brings independence but also financial responsibilities. Start by creating a budget: track
your income, essential expenses (rent, utilities, groceries), and discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out).
Prioritize saving a portion of your income, even a small amount, to build an emergency fund. Additionally,
explore basic investment options to grow your wealth over time. Financial stability reduces stress and provides
greater freedom to pursue your goals.
By focusing on these areas, you can navigate your first year with confidence, laying the groundwork for a
successful and fulfilling career.
