BruinBill
All students are assigned a BruinBill account which records all charges and payments associated with registration, housing and transportation, as well as other charges including health services. Your BruinBill is available to manage nearly 24/7 through MyUCLA. It is the student's responsiblity to check their BruinBill to avoid payment delinquency.
BruinDirect
It is highly encouraged to sign up for BruinDirect via BruinBill. It is the fastest, most secure way to receive funds (fellowships, awards, loans) directly into a bank account. Please note that regardless if you sign up for BruinDirect or not, disbursed funds will first pay for any registration fees that are unpaid on BruinBill before being deposited into a bank account/mailed as a check. For example, if a student is receiving a $5,000 stipend but has a $1,000 fee balance at the time of disbursal, the amount the student will receive would be $4,000 as the stipend would cover the existing fee balance.
