Undergraduate Services

The Student Retention Center (SRC) serves the campus community by providing services to aid all UCLA students, and particularly students from low income and working class backgrounds. All projects in the SRC offer one-on-one counseling services (academic counseling, writing coaching, math tutoring, and fitness/health counseling) and workshops to promote academic success.

The Campus Retention Committee (CRC) funds SRC projects and programs, supporting undergraduate students facing academic difficulties and assisting with social transitions to college.

The SRC supports seven programs focused on students struggling academically, providing counseling, wellness programs, and liaison office hours with representatives from Financial Aid, Honors Program, Counseling & Psychological Services, and the Academic Advancement Program.

The SRC has been instrumental in addressing these critical issues and has successfully increased retention and graduation rates.

Any UCLA student organization can establish a retention project through the annual call for projects each summer.

Services

All services provided by the Student Retention Center are open to all undergraduate students. Key services include peer counseling, the Bruin Readmission Program (BRP), and various mentorship and internship opportunities to support student retention and academic success.
