CAC Representatives oversee a referendum funding that supports community service efforts conducted by UCLA registered student organizations primarily off-campus. All registered campus organizations (undergraduate & graduate) are eligible to apply for CAC funds. The committee has one big annual deadline at the beginning of fall quarter with a large budget and a quarterly deadline with a smaller budget pool. Student appointees evaluate fund proposals and participate in hearings where clubs advocate for their funding requests. Examples of this work include group proposal reviews and running hearings where organizations present their budgets. There is no specific prerequisite knowledge required to participate in this committee; however, appointees would benefit from having some knowledge regarding the various community service–oriented clubs on campus and the impact that they make, which would help in evaluating funding proposals.

CUARS oversees matters relating to undergraduate admissions and relations with schools. The committee sets the conditions for freshman and transfer admission to UCLA, including establishing holistic review criteria used by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to select eligible students. CUARS coordinates with the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS) to establish undergraduate admissions policies for the University of California, in consultation with the Regents and systemwide Administration. CUARS also monitors undergraduate admissions policies and UCLA guidelines in relation to other UCs and community colleges in LA. Student appointees read over BOARS proposals, participate in discussions with committee members, and analyze proposed admissions changes. No specific prerequisite knowledge is required.

The primary mission of the Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is to provide advice to the University Administration on policies/programs to advance faculty diversity, including the recruitment and retention of women and underrepresented minorities. The Committee provides advice to the Academic Senate on issues relating to diversity and equal opportunity in the University community. CODEI also conducts analysis on various UCLA departments to measure how they’re performing outreach to bring in students and professors from diverse backgrounds. 

Student appointees provide input on letters that CODEI sends to the administration regarding diversity and fair-practice measures, advise on proposed DEI policies, and offer insights into how those policies may affect student experiences and perceptions. Examples of CODEI’s work include providing feedback on UCLA’s newest student protest policies, reviewing UC-system responses to executive orders involving colleges and DEI initiatives, and conducting program reviews for various departments to ensure that UCLA is actively working towards its DEI initiatives. Student appointees to this committee are expected to contribute their thoughts, opinions, and recommendations in various in-person and Zoom meetings in order to facilitate the creation of impactful DEI policies. No specific prerequisite knowledge is required, however a familiarity with current events, politics, and the importance of diversity is recommended.

The regulations within the UCLA Student Conduct Code (“Code”) have been developed to create and maintain a safe, supportive, and inclusive campus community that engages students in order to foster their academic success, personal growth and responsible citizenship. The student conduct process has been established to respond to incidents involving allegations of prohibited behavior within our community. This process provides educational opportunities which encourage students to evaluate their own actions, consider their own decision making, and acquire new skills to improve their choices in the future. The committee holds hearings for students who may have potentially violated a portion of the Code. 

Student appointees serve on these panels: they ask questions about the case to the dean, the student, and any witnesses, then deliberate to determine whether a violation occurred. No prior knowledge is required, as all appointees receive full training before participating.

The Undergraduate Council (UgC) makes policy for undergraduate education at UCLA; recommends to the Legislative Assembly undergraduate programs leading to new degrees; authorizes, supervises and regulates all undergraduate courses and programs of instruction and preparatory education; periodically reviews and evaluates all undergraduate programs of study and all programs of preparatory education in conjunction with the Graduate Council; and sets standards for honors and recommends procedures for awards of undergraduate scholarships. Essentially, the UgC reviews anything related to learning or teaching at UCLA—such as evaluations of classrooms, reviewing courses, and adding new degree programs. 

Student appointees in the Undergraduate Council provide advisory votes on agenda items, work with the policy analyst to propose items for each meeting, and have the opportunity to question stakeholders such as ASUCLA and University administration. The committee meets bi-weekly to discuss a variety of education-related policies, referendums, program evaluations, and more. There are no prerequisites to apply to this committee, but applicants would benefit from an understanding of education policy and familiarity with campus stakeholders.

CPB's charge is to make recommendations based on established Senate policy to the Chancellor and Senate agencies concerning the allocation of educational resources, academic priorities, and the planning and budgetary process as well as formulating a Senate view on the campus budget and each major campus space-use and building project. CPB discusses with the Executive Vice Chancellor and Vice Chancellor for Finance the current strategic and budget issues. CPB maintains an active relationship with the Systemwide University Council on Planning and Budget (UCPB) through its UCPB representative. 

Student appointees take meeting minutes, contribute the student-body perspective on budget and planning discussions, and speak on behalf of the student body. Meetings are held bi-weekly. No prior experience is required, though a basic familiarity with finance or economics terminology can be helpful.

The Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication (COLASC) takes, as its principal obligation, to reflect and articulate the views of UCLA faculty members concerning the role of the University Library in the acquisition, storage, and provision of scholarly materials. COLASC maintains an active relationship with the Statewide University Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication (UCOLASC) through its UCOLASC representative. 

Student representatives serve in a non-voting, advisory capacity. They listen to discussions on publishing, open-access initiatives, and future library goals; advocate for student library workers; and bring forward student experiences and concerns about resource access and usage. To be an effective student appointee, prior experience working in or regularly using UCLA library services is recommended, along with awareness of library functions beyond books and study space and the unique needs of different departments.

COLASC meets once per quarter. In these meetings, the University Librarian reports on administrative updates, faculty members strategize resolutions for departmental and publishing issues, and the student representative highlights current student-body concerns related to library services. Student appointees  gather ideas and issues from their peers and voice them at committee meetings.

CPC Representatives oversee a student services/referendum funding that supports cultural or educational programming conducted by UCLA registered student organization on the UCLA campus. The committee has 6 deadlines throughout the 24-25 academic year with a large budget and 3 deadlines quarterly with a smaller budget pool. Deadlines have not been finalized.

Student appointees review and allocate funds every quarter and participate in proposal-review meetings. Applicants should be comfortable reviewing budgets and engaging with student organization representatives.
