<p>I am going to attend the july 24-26 orientation and I was wondering if those people who have already attended could tell me what to pack. Was there anything crucial you forgot to bring with you( not including the stuff ucla told you to bring like transcripts and a bruincard)? what did you guys do while you were there? any free time to just explore around the area?</p>
<p>i just brought what they told me and i was fine. there is some time to just explore if you dont go to some of the workshops or if you do not have a department meeting (you will find out when you get there). also you dont have to go to the nightly activities and can just roam around westwood with friends instead. last week was really hot, especially during the 3 hour campus tour on wednesday, so bring clothes to keep cool.</p>
<p>since transcripts are going to be used for course planning, can i bring report cards instead? because i dont have my final transcript, but i do have a transcript that covers 9th grade - 1st sem of 12th grade, and i have a 12th grade 2nd sem report card...</p>
<p>you dont need high school transcripts. you just need transcripts for stuff that you took after high school that UCLA doesnt have yet (ie. you took a class this summer at a community college that can transfer to UCLA)</p>
<p>oh okay. thanks</p>
