Welcome to BenefitsU!

On behalf of Associated Students UCLA (ASUCLA), welcome to UCLA, new Bruins, and welcome back, returning students! ASUCLA is your student association, composed of four pillars: the Undergraduate Students Association, the Graduate Students Association, Student Media (such as the Daily Bruin and other newsmagazines) and Student-Run Enterprises (the UCLA Store, ASUCLA Restaurants and Student Union). 

ASUCLA was created at the same time as UCLA, in 1919, and is now the largest student association in the country, employing over 1,500 students each year. The organization operates as a nonprofit, governed by a board of directors that consists of a student majority, ensuring that Bruins have a leading voice in shaping the services, programs and initiatives that impact campus life. ASUCLA has brought CalFresh to campus with acceptance at four UCLA Store locations and offers a variety of free, student-centric programs throughout the year such as wellness events, Kerckhoff patio concerts (Noon Tunes) and more.

As part of the services and communications provided by ASUCLA, BenefitsU emails serve as communication to the student body on ASUCLA Restaurants menu updates and limited-time offerings, weekly student union programs and events, new UCLA Store drops, blogs and more — meant to benefit you! 

The BenefitsU blogs, like this one, offer you communication on all things related to UCLA, any relevant events for that month and more. The blogs are created for students, by students. 

In addition to BenefitsU, stay connected with ASUCLA on Instagram @asucla, TikTok @asucla and through text alerts! We look forward to seeing you all this school year. Go Bruins!
