    Membership Benefits

    • Why join the Faculty Club?
      • The UCLA Faculty Club provides members with a home away from home on campus — a quiet, attractive haven in the heart of UCLA’s huge, bustling campus. It is a place where members eat, meet, and celebrate. Offering a variety of rooms and settings, the Faculty Club is suited for members' needs, whether for reflecting, entertaining, meeting, networking, or conferencing. Members can use our facilities from Monday to Friday, 7 am to 8 pm. All our dining options accommodate a range of dietary needs and culinary preferences.

        Members can benefit from our expertise to organize meetings, conferences and events at competitive rates, being exempt from the non-member surcharge of 18%. We have a wide range of rooms and setups available for hosting large and small scale events. Our meeting and events services include served dinners, buffet dining, hors d’œuvres, sweet treats, and break time offerings. All our rooms have attached patios that guests can enjoy as well. Each room is set up for projection and sound, and our helpful staff is ready to attend to your meeting needs.

        Membership allows members to receive privileges at more than 100 other faculty clubs nationwide. The roster includes all campuses in the UC system, as well as USC, Stanford, and CalTech. Some clubs even offer hotel accommodations.

    FAQs

    • Membership Privileges & Responsibilities
      • Bringing Guests To The Club
        Q: May I bring guests to the Faculty Club?
        A: You may bring such guests on rare or special occasions, but this is discouraged as a regular practice. Obviously, the Club can't monitor the eligibility status of all its guests, so members are on their "honor" with regard to this policy. Individuals wishing to enjoy the Club's services should support of the club through regular payment of dues and fees. For a guest only to reimburse a regular member for such direct costs as meals doesn't begin to help sustain our club.
        Billing Cycle & Form of Payment
        Q. Do I have to pay my monthly bill in full?
        A. Yes, always. We require members to have a valid credit card on file at all times.
        Putting Membership On Hold
        Q: What happens to my membership status if I go on sabbatical or extended leave?
        A: If you're officially absent from the campus for at least one quarter - a minimum of four months - you may put your membership on leave status once every 24 months. Advanced written notification is required to be exempt from payment of all fees and dues for the period involved. "Sabbaticals-in-residence" or absences during the summer months do not qualify for this exception to monthly payment of fees and dues.
        Membership Status & Retirement
        Q: What happens to my membership in the Faculty Club when I retire?
        A: Dues are reduced to $25 per month for emeriti and retired members. You must notify the club in writing in order to be billed at the lower rate.

        Visiting Other University Clubs
        Q: Can I use my Faculty Club card in other university faculty clubs?
        A: Yes, because of reciprocal arrangements, you may use your card at other faculty clubs. We have reciprocal arrangements with more than 100 other faculty clubs domestically. If you're planning a trip, ask the office for a list of participating clubs in cities you'll visit. All clubs require payment at the time of your visit.

        Re-joining The Faculty Club
        Q: I resigned from the Faculty Club some time ago, but now I wish to rejoin. How do I do this?

        Q: Does the Faculty Club take reservations?
        A: You may make reservations for lunch and dinner. For lunch in the Main Dining Room, seating is on a first-come-first-served basis.

    • Event Booking as a Member
      • Members Sponsoring Non-Members' Events
        Q: Can a member sponsor a non-member wishing to hold an event at the Club?
        A: Yes, but the Club requires that the sponsoring member provide a letter in advance to the Club assuming full responsibility for all charges associated with the event. These would include food, beverages, or any damage to the facilities. Reservations in all cases would be made by the sponsoring member.

        Guest Surcharges And Taxes For Events
        Q: I am booking an event at the Faculty Club. Will I have to pay gratuity and/or taxes?
        A: As a private membership club, we are obligated by law to charge Federal and State Tax. We do not charge gratuity, but we do charge an 18% guest surcharge fee on all non-department/social bookings. This fee is subject to change.
        External Food & Beverages
        Q. I have an event at the Faculty Club, and a guest wants to bring his/her own meal. Is this allowed?
        A. Unfortunately, no. Members and guests are not allowed to bring their own meals to any event or into the Faculty Club building.
