Bruin Online Services Overview

Bruin OnLine services enable you to connect to UCLA protected systems and services such as restricted library resources, email systems, read Usenet News, and much more. For a complete list of services available to eligible users, please access the Bruin OnLine FAQ. Access to BOL services also allows you to check and send email, establish personal webspace on the BOL Web Server, browse the internet, and provide a place to connect to the Internet from home.

UCLA Logon IDs are permanent.

Email and Web Server Quotas

There is a hard quota of 150MB on the email server. What this means is that you can only store a maximum of 150MB on the BOL email server. After you reach the 150MB hard quota, all new mail will be bounced back to the sender. Once you hit the 150MB limit, you will no longer receive email and the only way to clear the mailbox is to download your mail or delete it off the server via BOL webmail.

There is a 100MB quota on the BOL Web Server which means that you can store 100MB of files on the BOL web server. This includes HTML files, graphics, and any other files that you display on your personal web pages.

BOL Services Expiration

Because BOL grants access to resources that are only limited to current students, faculty, and staff, we cannot extend the use of BOL once your affiliation with UCLA ends.

After your affiliation with UCLA ends, your ability to use BOL services will expire. You will receive a warning through email stating when your access will end. Please back up any important information before then (email, address book entries, etc.). Graduates of UCLA may keep their @ucla.edu address via the lifetime email forwarding mechanism.

Information on lifetime forwarding is available here:

If you have any further questions or require assistance backing up your emails, please contact the BOL Help Desk at (310)267-4357, option 1, or at consult@ucla.edu.
