The Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) at UCLA acknowledge the Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin, So. Channel Islands) and are grateful to have the opportunity to work for the taraaxatom (indigenous peoples) in this place. As a land grant institution, we pay our respects to Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
We hope this finds you and your loved ones well, safe and healthy. We understand that COVID-19 has changed the ways in which we go about our daily lives. As we are all learning how to be our best selves during this pandemic, we realize how, now more than ever, our work needs to persist. Our commitment remains your academic preparation. As a result of the new challenges, we have temporarily suspended the summer component of our CCCP Scholars program for 2020-21 and are moving our services to an online platform. We are happy to announce our Power 2 the Transfer Webinars series for 2020-2021.
Please join us for an informative, fun and empowering virtual series. We are excited to provide new and continuing community college students with a webinar designed to highlight the transfer experience through a cultural lens.
Each of the sessions will provide information from the perspective of that community, and you will hear from students, staff and faculty. Join us to learn about what makes each of us unique and how we support our diverse communities. These sessions will include: students perspectives on the transfer process; information about the support programs available to assist as you prepare for transfer. Join us to learn about the specific support for each community, the importance of networks and ways to connect to navigate your transfer journey.

The Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) develops and strengthens academic partnerships between UCLA and California community colleges. Through a multi-faceted approach with efforts at the student, faculty and administrative levels, CCCP works to increase the academic preparation and competitiveness for community college transfer students, particularly those who are first generation, low-income or historically underrepresented. CCCP also helps community colleges to develop a transfer-sending culture, and the university to develop a transfer-receptive culture.
To accomplish this, the Center:
CCCP at UCLA is responsible for developing and strengthening academic partnerships between UCLA and California community colleges, particularly those with large historically underrepresented student populations.
In its commitment to social justice and diversity, UCLA CCCP works to increase transfer rates and success of underserved community college populations by holistically equipping students with skills and knowledge of available transfer pathways to empower them to become self-advocates and leaders in their communities.
UCLA CCCP contributes to the scholarship that focuses on transfer issues (research, policy-making, publications, etc.), ultimately enhancing transfer-sending and transfer-receptive cultures through the leadership and success of our peer mentors, scholars and alumni, and through the collaboration of staff and faculty at universities and community colleges.
CCCP works closely with community college administrators, faculty and staff to:
The Center works closely with the UCLA Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the Community College Transfer Recruitment staff and other campus departments to help coordinate UCLA’s transfer strategic plans with community colleges.
Due to the current state of affairs we will not process any campus visit request until further notice. thank you for your understanding.
CCCP has been recognized as a 2019 Examples of Excelencia!

It is a great honor to announce that after a long writing process the book, “Power to the Transfer: Critical Race Theory and a Transfer Receptive Culture (perspectives on Access, Equity, and Diversifying Pathways in P-20 Education)” is available. You may order your copy here.
“This book aims to provide direction toward the development and maintenance of a transfer receptive culture, which is defined as an institutional commitment by a university to support transfer students of color. A transfer receptive culture explicitly acknowledges the roles of race and racism in the vertical transfer process from a community college to a university and unapologetically centers transfer as a form of equity in the higher education pipeline.”
The book is written by Dr. Jain, former CCCP staff member and Assistant Professor of Education at CSUN, CCCP Director and Vice Provost, Alfred Herrera and CCCP Assistant Director, Santiago Bernal.

The goal of the program is to motivate, inform and prepare students to transfer from a California community college to a selective Top Tier Research institution such as UCLA. Students in the program have access to our summer and year-long academic preparatory transfer programs which guide students through the community college experience, the application and admissions process, research and pre-graduate opportunities and career exploration. We use Critical Race Theory as a framework to address issues from a social justice perspective, academic excellence and educational equity.
