UCLA's Summer Readmission and Retention Program brings together various campus resources during a twelve week program designed to facilitate student success and retention.

Through group and individual learning, the program helps dismissed students build the skills and confidence necessary for success and to find new sources of motivational and self-esteem that are vital to persist through graduation.

How does the program work?

  • SRRP consists of two six-week sessions (June 23 through September 12)
  • Students selected for the program will be eligible for the $158* per unit UC Student summer session class cost and a campus fee of $57.00*.  Instructional enhancement initiative fees will be charged as applicable.  (*Fee subject to change)
  • Students will be eligible to be considered for summer financial aid.
  • All students selected for SRRP will be required to complete three courses (12 units minimally). 
  • During “A” Session (June 23 – August 1), students enroll in one course (mandatory), Education 80, Understanding the Collegiate Experience.  This course, which involves lecture and discussion sections, looks at the factors and issues involved in the decision to attend college and how students achieve success and gain maximum benefits from the college experience.  Students also participate in weekly workshops that focus on developing academic skills, facilitating peer support, encouraging individual ability, and self-esteem.
  • During “C” Session (August 4 – September 12), students enroll in two courses, chosen in consultation with and with the approval of their academic advisor (who will be assigned upon acceptance into the program).
  • Students who receive a “B” or better in Education 80 and a “B” or better in their “C” Session classes will be eligible to enroll in classes for the Fall Quarter. 
  • Students who receive between a “B-” and a “C” in Education 80 may continue and take “C” Session classes.  They will continue to receive financial aid and will pay tuition at the UCLA student rate.  Continuation into the fall quarter, however, is not guaranteed and students must file an appeal, the success of which will be highly dependent upon receiving excellent grades in “C” Session classes.  Students who receive a “C-” or lower in Education 80 during “A” Session will not be allowed to continue in SRRP and will not be eligible to continue into the Fall Quarter.  They can still enroll in classes in “C” session, however no financial aid will be available and they must pay the non-UCLA student course fees.  Any financial aid received for the summer must be returned to the University. 
  • Students will participate in weekly meetings with peer counselors.  In addition, students will meet throughout the process with their academic advisors.
  • Students who successfully complete SRRP course work will be readmitted for the Fall Quarter.
  • Tutorial support for Education 80, writing/composition, plus some gateway classes in mathematics and science will be available.
