💛 Resources & Support

UC Santa Cruz recognizes that many students have different learning styles, educational backgrounds, and may require accommodations to ensure a positive academic experience. Whether it's connecting with fellow students to learn in peer-to-peer groups, access to specialized equipment, or supportive staff with experience assisting under resourced communities, our campus is here to help make your learning experience a positive one. We highly encourage students to use academic support services as they are paid for through your tuition.

Slug Facts about academic support:

- Our Modified Supplemental Instruction program provides out-of-class practice sessions for students to work together on practice problems, go over key concepts as a group, prepare for exams collaboratively, and build community!
- Our Educational Opportunity Program promotes the retention and academic success of first generation college students from low-income families and low performing schools.
- We also have Services for Transfer and Re Entry Students, and our Veterans Education Team Support Program.
