Dear AAP Community,

Warmest congratulations on embarking on this exciting journey to UCLA and joining the Academic Advancement Program (AAP)!

For over five decades, AAP has been at the heart of academic excellence at UCLA, and we are thrilled to have you become a part of our vibrant community. AAP has a threefold mission: first, to ensure the academic success, retention, and graduation of all AAP students; second, to inform and prepare students for graduate and professional schools; and third, to develop the academic, scientific, political, economic, and community leadership necessary to lead and transform our society.

AAP has a long and rich history of working with students like yourself. More than a mere collection of academic support services, AAP stands as a welcoming academic home for over 5,000 students from diverse backgrounds, including those from low-income, first-generation, and historically underrepresented groups. We firmly believe that every AAP student has earned their rightful place at UCLA, demonstrating exceptional academic potential. Our commitment is to guide you on your path to academic and personal growth throughout your undergraduate journey.

We eagerly anticipate the moment we can welcome you in person and witness your achievements firsthand.

Welcome to UCLA, and welcome to AAP!

Go Bruins!
