Hi May daughter missed her UC Shape training and now they put a hold on her enrollment. The SHAPE office said it's an automatic update and there is nothing they can do to expedite it. The regsitrar says there is nothing they can do either. She will miss her window of enrollment. Is there anyone else who can help?

Given the situation with your daughter's enrollment hold due to missing the UC SHAPE training, there are additional resources at UCLA that may help her navigate this issue.

Contact Key Offices Your daughter should reach out to the following offices:

Dean of Students Office: They advocate for students facing administrative challenges and may provide guidance or intervention.
Email: dean@saonet.ucla.edu
Phone: (310) 825-3894
UCLA Case Management Services: This office offers academic support and can assist with complex administrative issues.
Email: CRTeam@ucla.edu
Phone: (310) 825-7291
Title IX Civil Rights Office: Since the SHAPE training falls under their jurisdiction, they may help verify her completion manually if the automated system is causing the hold.
Email: TitleIXtraining@equity.ucla.edu
Phone: (310) 206-3417

Immediate Actions To expedite the process, she should:

Complete all three SHAPE training modules in Bruin Learn as soon as possible, as holds typically lift within 2-3 business days of completion.
If the hold is cleared but she misses the enrollment deadline, she may need to file a Late Study List Petition through the Registrar’s Office to enroll after the standard window.

For more information on the Late Study List, visit the UCLA Registrar's Office for guidance on the petition process.

What is a difference between cognitive science degree and psychology degree?

Choosing between a Cognitive Science degree and a Psychology degree at UCLA involves understanding their distinct focuses and career paths.

Core Focus Cognitive Science (B.S.) examines the mind as an information processor, blending psychology with fields like computer science, linguistics, and neuroscience. In contrast, Psychology (B.A.) centers on understanding individual and group behaviors, rooted in social science and clinical observations.

Curriculum Differences

Cognitive Science: Requires advanced math and programming courses, focusing on computation and data modeling.
Psychology: Offers more flexibility with lower math requirements, emphasizing social, clinical, and developmental aspects.

Career Outcomes

Cognitive Science graduates often pursue roles in tech, such as UX/UI design, data science, and human factors engineering.
Psychology graduates typically enter fields like clinical counseling, human resources, and social work, focusing on human-centric roles.

Ultimately, choose Psychology for a social science approach to mental health, or Cognitive Science for a technical understanding of cognitive processes.
