PEER MENTORING PROGRAM
The goal of thePeer Mentoring Program is to improve transfer rates for underrepresented, under-served, and low-income students at our partner institutions.

CCCP places UCLA students who have successfully transferred from a community college as peer advisors at each of the campuses. The program works with faculty in addressing curriculum issues and with staff to provide and improve support for transfer students.

UCTOP: University of California Transfer Opportunity Program
The Center also runs the University of California Transfer Opportunity Program (UCTOP), an aggressive phone calling campaign to encourage community college students to consider transferring to a UC Campus. Transfer students are hired to phone community college students with demonstrated potential for success in the UC system and to visit specific community colleges to meet prospective transfer students.

To speak with a current UCLA transfer student, call (310) 794-4780.

CCCP SCHOLARS PROGRAM 2009-2010 For a CCCP Scholars Handout, click HERE: CCCP Scholars Recommendation Form CCCP Scholars Fall 2009 Tentative Schedule Form UCLA's Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) presents the CCCP Scholars program for the 2009-2010 Academic Year. The goal of the program is to motivate, inform and prepare students to transfer from a California community college to selective Top Tier Research institutions such as UCLA. If selected, students in the program have access to our summer and year-long academic preparatory transfer programs which guide students through the community college experience, the application and admissions process, research and pre-graduate opportunities and career exploration. The programs focus on these processes from a social justice and educational equity perspective. CCCP Scholars are students who may be the first in their family to go to college; come from low-income backgrounds; and/or be from underserved communities. CCCP Scholars targets students who: have recently graduated from high school and plan to enroll in a community college in the fall OR students who have been at the community college who have not yet completed a transfer curriculum at the time of application; students who show potential for transfer success; and non-traditional students who have faced challenges in their academic career. All of the programs are residential (with the exception of STEP) and completely FREE to the student.
