Tutoring
By request participants are matched with a personal tutor for regularly scheduled appointments throughout the academic year. Tutors are available to assist you in a variety of subjects that include math, biology, chemistry, physics, and writing.

Mentoring
SSSP mentors are assigned to help students with a variety of academic, social and personal concerns. Every first-year student in the program will be assigned to a mentor. Your mentor will be able to assist you in your transition to UCSD, to serve as a resource for academic and campus information, and to be an overall advocate for your academic and social successes here at UCSD.

Counseling
On staff Counseling is available to assist SSSP students in the areas of personal counseling, career and graduate school assistance.

OASIS Learning Community Seminars (OLC)
Every first year student will be placed into an OLC. OLC’s are designed to examine the strategies through which college students acquire a network of support during their first year that contributes to their academic success and socio-cultural satisfaction as they transition from high school to college or community college to a four-year. The seminars will also connect theory on college students’ development with the practical experiences of UCSD students. This is done by connecting you with a consistent, small group of first-year peers who you can collaborate with for study groups and other activities throughout the year. OLC's will also help you with strategies and necessary tools to excel at UCSD and maximize your learning and preparation for active participation in an increasingly diverse society. OLC's meet weekly each quarter of students’ first year.
