The Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services (OASIS) is the learning center at UCSD. We provide most of the free tutoring on campus in a collaborative, supportive environment.

OASIS also provides peer mentors and peer counselors to support students with issues that can be a distraction from academic priorities, such as personal and family issues, setting and reaching goals, etc.

Who uses our services: The majority of students who use OASIS are outstanding students who want to earn high grades. Such achievement maximizes their ability to access graduate or professional school or employment after graduation. OASIS works with more than 3,000 undergraduates each year.

Our goals: Our focus is the achievement and learning of UCSD students. Our services contribute to students' grades and their skills in areas like math, science, writing, language, and critical thinking. We also recognize the mission of UCSD as a public institution: to prepare students for their active, successful future in an increasingly diverse society.

Our teaching philosophy: Research shows that learning is a social process. Likewise, research shows that the most successful college students (and those who enjoy their college experience the most) work collaboratively with other students as well as with faculty and staff.

We help students to access other campus services that develop students' leadership ability and cultural competence. We believe that with such preparation, UCSD graduates will contribute mightily to a more just society and a more positive social fabric for the state of California.
