Job Summary Statement: In support of Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools (UARS) efforts to meet annual new student recruitment and enrollment goals, the Admissions Officer assists in all areas of undergraduate admissions evaluation for freshman and transfer applicants. This expertise is acquired through training and experience in the position. The position serves as resource to staff in UARS, including other evaluators, public relations staff and recruitment specialists, for issues and problems related to admission to the University.

The Admissions Officer also visits community colleges in California, and possibly a limited number of high schools, providing substantive information about UCLA specifically, and the University of California generally (as required) to prospective students and counselors related to University admissions requirements, processes and deadlines, as well as general information about scholarships and financial aid, housing and campus services.

Under direction and guidance the incumbent interprets UC's complex requirements for admission and will ultimately make independent decisions regarding the acceptance of transfer coursework for domestic and foreign institutions to the University, and represents the University and UARS at conferences and meetings. The incumbent may participate in interdepartmental and UC system wide meetings regarding admission to the University.

The Admissions Officer may be assigned a specific target population or have a specific set of duties and may specialize in that area, but will be sufficiently well-versed to work with a variety of prospective student audiences. Examples of special populations and programs include, but are not limited to: back-up liaison with UCLA campus departments or programs; assisting with two- and four-year college articulation; evaluation of international student records, and more.
