Who Should I Contact?

The MLFP Program Assistant Director is the MLFP graduate students' first line of contact. If a student is better served by an alternate person or department, our Graduate Assistant Directors are trained to guide individuals to the appropriate UCI staff, faculty, or unit.

The role of the MLFP Program Assistant Director

  • Assistant Directors are graduate student services staff who can help you with questions regarding, but not limited to; enrollment, tuition and fees, academic petitions, leave requests, and career guidance. In short, these individuals can help you with most administrative tasks, and are qualified to assist with a wide range of situations.

The role of a Faculty Program Director

  • Faculty Program Directors are university faculty who lead our individual graduate and doctoral programs. Students with questions regarding curriculum or other programmatic inquiries should refer to the MLFP Program Advisor/Director
