What is it?

You’ve come to the right place to learn all about the new MyBruin International Portal.

Note: This is NOT a change in U.S. federal immigration policies, procedures, or systems, but only a UCLA internal system update.

We have introduced anew centralized system called MyBruin International Portal. This means that all F-1 and J-1 related requests and documents are processed in one place. The portal provides users an enhanced user-experience and transparency. It also improves data security, system stability, as well as advanced functionality for UCLA to meet federal compliance requirements more efficiently.

How does MyBruin International work?

For UCLA F-1/J-1 International Students

  • International students use their UCLA Single Sign On (UCLA SSO Logon) to access their profile.
  • International students can access the portal through the login button on our website.
  • The portal communicates with both student and Dashew Staff simultaneously and requests are submitted and tracked on the portal.

For UCLA J-1 International Scholars

  • Current scholars on J-1 status receive an International Portal ID via email from the Dashew Center /dcissj1unit@saonet.ucla.edu
  • Scholars are not able to access the portal with a UCLA Single Sign On (UCLA SSO Logon)
  • Scholars will access the portal through the login button on our website.
  • The portal communicates with both scholar and Dashew Staff simultaneously, and requests are submitted and tracked on the new portal.

For UCLA Departments

UCLA department administrators involved with J-1 scholar services receive information on how to request access to the new portal from the J-1 Visa Unit. The portal allows departments to submit DS-2019 requests electronically.

More Details

 What has changed?

  • The look and feel of the new portal is different from how students & scholars currently request documents & forms.
  • It provides a more friendly & transparent user-experience for submission of requests to UCLA Dashew Center.
  • By default, I-20s and DS-2019s are issued to international students and scholars electronically via the portal once a request is processed by Dashew Center. As a result, Dashew Center no longer needs international students and scholars to provide a mailing option within most requests.

What has not changed?

  • Academic departments still need to review J-1 scholars requests electronically before they are submitted to Dashew Center for processing.
  • The required information and documentation for most requests remains the same.
