# How does a new staff member gain access to Counselor Desktop?

Please contact the MyUCLA help desk at 310-206-4525 or email your name and phone number and 9-digit <span class="caps">UID</span> to <helpdesk@college.ucla.edu> to be added to the training session reservation system. Once added to that system, follow these instructions to sign up for a training session through MyUCLA.
