Students-Menu – UCLA EPSS

The UCLA Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences allows students to submit questions to the Department’s Undergraduate Counselor electronically, and stores the correspondence for future review. Students may submit questions via the MyUCLA Message Center.

The MyUCLA Message Center is the best way to communicate with our advising staff.

The MyUCLA Message Center has replaced e-mail as the electronic means of communication for the EPSS Undergraduate Counseling Office.
