The Center for Educational Partnerships promotes statewide pre-college initiatives that help disadvantaged students develop the academic skills and background needed to enter college. Early Academic Outreach and Academic Development Partnerships provide pre-enrollment services. Early Academic Outreach development programs assist intermediate and high school students to become aware of academic opportunities and how to prepare for admission to the University of California. Workshops, special events, and conferences are offered to program participants and their parents. Staff generate extramural support for discipline-specific initiatives for curriculum reform, professional development, and student academic services.
CAMP provides research opportunities for undergraduates, faculty mentoring, and peer group support.
The goal of SAAS is to help students earn their University degree. See the Division of Undergraduate Education section of the Catalogue for additional information. GPOP offers several programs and services for new and continuing graduate students. Students may be asked to provide verification of ethnicity. Assistance is offered during the admission process, and every effort is made through GPOP advisement and support to ensure that all students will have the opportunity to attain their academic objectives.
