Summer Bridge & Academic Transition Program

(SB & ATP)

Academic Transition Program

(ATP)

(SSSP)

The OASIS Summer Bridge Program is a four-week intensive residential, academic, and personal development program for 150 selected freshman students. As part of your extensive orientation to academic life, you will earn 8 units of credit to prepare for the intellectual challenges you will meet during your first year at UCSD. Summer Bridge will challenge you, and attending will give you more confidence, provide you with knowledge about the campus, and help you feel at home at UCSD. Many of the friendships made through Summer Bridge will last throughout your college years and beyond. The Summer Bridge Program is just the beginning of the support provided by OASIS. During the academic year, Summer Bridge students will continue to receive support through the Academic Transition Program. (Please see ATP for more information). The Academic Transition Program aims to ensure that freshmen reach their academic potential and enjoy positive involvement on campus. ATP provides an individualized package of tutoring, mentoring, counseling, and networking for each student to ease the transition from high school to university life. Students are assigned an Academic Transition Counselor (ATC), a peer mentor, who will follow your progress throughout your year. In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in quarterly social events. The Student Support Services Program is a U.S. Department of Education TRiO program designed to serve students who are first-generation college students and/or from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. SSSP is committed to enhancing each participant’s potential for successfully completing an undergraduate degree at UCSD. In addition, SSSP strives to enhance each participant’s prospect for entrance to graduate and professional school and to foster a home-base environment supportive of its participants. SSSP consists of a variety of services/activities: a one-week non-residential summer transition program for incoming freshmen and transfer students, individualized tutoring, placement with a peer mentor, workshops that focus on student issues and concerns, weekly seminars, and cultural activities and fieldtrips. TRiO SSSP will provide these services throughout your academic career at UCSD.
