Class will take place in Macgowan Hall, part of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. Macgowan Hall is located beside the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, in the northeast corner of the UCLA campus. On June 23, your first day of class, you will attend a program orientation in Macgowan Hall room 1340 at 9:00 a.m. You will sign in at the tables outside beginning at 8:45 a.m. and receive a name badge to help us get to know you during the first two days of orientation. We ask that you bring and wear your name badge to all classes during Week 1.

Getting to UCLA

General information about transportation to UCLA can be found on the Transportation Web site.

If you have arranged housing in the residence halls and are flying in from out of town, plan to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on the Sunday prior to the first day of class. Please avoid scheduling your flight to Long Beach and Burbank Airports. LAX is approximately 13 miles from UCLA, while Bob Hope Airport in Burbank is 21 miles away, and Long Beach/Daugherty Field Airport is 32 miles away. Exact Sunday check-in times should be verified directly with UCLA Housing at (310) 206-7011.

Housing check out is on Friday, August 1. Please verify exact check out times with UCLA Housing. The approximate travel time to LAX on Saturday morning is 45 minutes. Please schedule your return flight reservations accordingly.

Airport Shuttles

One option to help you get from a local airport to the UCLA campus is Super Shuttle, a transportation van service. One-way fare to UCLA from LAX is about $25.00. You do not need to make reservations in advance. After arriving in Los Angeles and retrieving your luggage at Baggage Claim, proceed to the Super Shuttle sign located on the outer island under the overhead blue van stop.

To return to the airport from UCLA via Super Shuttle, make a reservation by calling (310) 782-6600 or visit their Web site.

FlyAway Bus Service

Taxis

Taxis are readily available at various pick up points labeled “Taxi” outside of the baggage claim area at all local airports. Taxis to UCLA from LAX generally cost about $35 each way. Note: if traveling to campus with another person, sharing a taxi is generally cheaper than taking an airport shuttle.
