TRIO SSSP: Academic Year Services

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

TRIO SSSP mentors are assigned to help students with a variety of academic, social and personal concerns. Every first-year student in the program (freshmen and transfers) will be assigned to a mentor. Your mentor will be able to assist you in your transition to UC San Diego, to serve as a resource for academic and campus information, and to be an overall advocate for your academic and social successes.

Professional counseling is available to assist SSSP students in a variety of areas, including personal advising/ development, career exploration, and graduate school preparation and planning.

TRIO SSSP offers a number of workshops and activities that aid in the holistic development of its students. These workshops and activities range from academic, cultural, and self-development.

Examples of workshops and activities offered:

• Financial literacy
• Career exploration
• Graduate/ professional school preparation and planning
• Study skills and time management
• Graduate school visits
• Cultural activities and field trips

The TRIO SSSP Learning Community will be a place where you will meet with other TRIO students starting at UCSD to learn about essential campus resources and develop strategies for your success during your transition to UC San Diego.

This will be a weekly 50-minute seminar during first year at UCSD. (For transfers, this will be required for your first two quarters at UCSD.  For first years, this will be every quarter.)
