For many students, the sudden shift from a two-year college to a major university can be disorienting. Transfer students often experience feelings of anonymity and a sense that the university is impersonal and indifferent to their needs. As verified time and again in student evaluation comments, TIP's all-transfer classes offer a sense of collegiality and community which can be crucial in helping to navigate this new environment. TIP is most proud of this sense of grounding it seems to provide students. We have tried to arrange the schedule to cover all the major class times, Monday through Thursday, with no overlap.
Classes meet for one hour and fifty minutes twice a week.
Whatever your schedule, there's a TIP course that will fit right into it. TIP courses usually enroll very quickly, so if you think TIP offers the kind of introduction to UCLA you are looking for, you should act soon.
