Power to the Transfer!

THE CENTER

The Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) at UCLA develops and strengthens academic partnerships between California community colleges and UCs including UCLA. 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.

POPULATIONS OF FOCUS

Our Mission

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. CCCP works closely with community college administrators, faculty and staff to:

  • Create strong academic support programs
  • Improve students’ academic preparation and competitiveness for admission to the university
  • Increase the diversity of UCLA’s transfer admit pool
ACCOMPLISHING OUR MISSION

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 and equity plans with community colleges. To accomplish this, the Center:

  • Strengthens relationships with administrators, faculty and staff at community colleges to establish strong lines of communication and cooperative student-based programs aimed at improving academic competitiveness and increasing the diversity of the applicant pool;
  • Works intensely with community college partners, particularly those with large underrepresented populations
  • Integrates UCLA’s K-12 and community college outreach, recruitment and retention programs;
  • Facilitates stronger and more effective working relationships between community college programs and offices serving potential transfer students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, such as MESA, PUENTE, EOP/S and TRIO.
IMPACT STATEMENT

IMPACT STATEMENT

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.

FRAMEWORKS

CRITICAL RACE THEORY (CRT) IN EDUCATION

“Accounts for the role of race and racism in U.S. education, and works toward the elimination of racism…eliminating other forms of subordination such as gender, class, and sexual orientation.”

Five CRT in Education Tenets:

  • Intercentrality of race and racism and other subordinations
  • Challenges dominant ideology in higher education
  • Experiential knowledge is valued
  • Interdisciplinary and intersectional approach
  • Commitment to social justice

COMMUNITY CULTURAL WEALTH (CCW)

Developed by Dr. Tara Yosso, CCW is an array of knowledges, skills, abilities, and contacts possessed and utilized by communities of color, and other minoritized groups, to survive and resist macro and micro forms of oppression. 

Forms of Capital:

  • Aspirational Capital
  • Familial Capital
  • Linguistic Capital
  • Navigational Capital
  • Social Capital
  • Resistance Capital
  • Cultural Capital 

Frameworks from “Whose culture has capital? A critical race theory discussion of community cultural wealth” Tara J. Yosso,  University of California , USA, Published online: 23 Aug 2006.

SOLIDARITY STATEMENTS

BLACK LIVES MATTER

To our students and colleagues in the Black community and across the diaspora: We stand with you. You are a valued and important member of our on- and off-campus family. We all need to acknowledge the challenges systematically imposed and work to change them. We must work together as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and allies, people who are concerned about our future, to eliminate these systematic disparities. We stand today and always because Black Lives Matter.

STOP AAPI HATE

CCCP condemns hateful acts of violence, harassment and rhetoric targeting Asian American, Pacific Islanders and Desi Americans (APIDA). Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an alarming increase in the discrimination and violence perpetrated on the APIDA community. These acts of violence are nothing new. We are disturbed by these xenophobic, racially motivated attacks. CCCP stands in solidarity with all of our students, colleagues, and community partners who experience marginalization and threat.

POWER TO THE TRANSFER BOOK

 Purchase our book

“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 Assistant Director, Santiago Bernal; and CCCP Director and Vice Provost, Alfred Herrera.

Believe in Your Power to Change the World!

The goal of the CCCP Scholars 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.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The CCCP Scholars Program is a one-year commitment beginning in Summer and taking place throughout the academic year until the end of the following Spring. The program operates under the UCLA quarter system which includes Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. Once a participant applies and completes a summer program, they officially become a scholar, are assigned a peer advisor, and are invited to exclusive events throughout the academic year. A culmination ceremony is held in the following Summer to celebrate scholars who have completed the program.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, CCCP had residential programs under the name SITE (Summer Intensive Transfer Experience) where students were invited to spend 1-5 days on the UCLA campus during the summer. Students who attended a multi-day summer program had the opportunity to stay in a residential hall and experience student life. Throughout the academic year, we would invite them back each quarter to attend our Saturday Academies. Since the COVID-19 Pandemic, our program has transitioned to an online format with the Power to the Transfer Webinars (P2TT-W) taking the place of the residential SITE programs and online activities replacing the Saturday Academies.

CCCP has continued to accept scholars after summer through a program called SITE LITE, the former name of the one-day residential programs. Scholars who join after summer are still expected to complete all the program requirements by the end of spring. The deadline to join our current 2022-2023 cohort has been extended to February 15, 2023 by 11:59 p.m. PST. 

BENEFITS
  • Personalized, intersectional peer advising
  • Guidance on how to maximize academic programs at your community college
  • In-depth information on the transfer and application process to the University of California
  • Early exposure to UCLA resources and support programs
  • Networking opportunities with UCLA faculty, staff, alumni, and current transfer students
  • Exposure to research, university academic writing, pre-graduate program, and career exploration
  • Invitation to exclusive webinars as well as transfer preparation activities and opportunities
  • CCCP Scholars have a higher rate of admission to selective universities and might be eligible for special scholarships
ELIGIBILITY

CCCP targets populations that can most benefit from a student-centered and social justice grounded program accounting for historical context, UC/UCLA access goals, and California/local and partner community colleges’ equity imperatives. CCCP works to support all community college students interested in transferring, but to become a scholar, you must identify as one of the following:

  • Be the first in their family to go to college
  • Come from low-income backgrounds
  • May be non-traditional students who have faced challenges in their academic career
  • Be from underserved communities
  • Have recently graduated from high school and plan to enroll in a community college in the Fall
  • Students currently attending community college who have not yet completed a transfer curriculum at the time of application
  • Be part of California’s higher education equity plans.

Note: Students must be residents of California or the United States (including AB 540/undocumented students). International students who hold a current US Visa (F1 or other visa) are not eligible.

APPLYING

To apply to the program, participants are required to:

  1. Submit an application
  2. Create and/or update their UC Transfer Admission Planner (UC TAP) account

After a few weeks, participants will be sent a confirmation email with their CCCP ID number. To become an official scholar, they must attend one of the required summer/SITE LITE programs.

Notes:

You CANNOT save any changes on the application. If applying for SITE PLUS, enter in the comment section of the application, your first and second choice for the UCLA summer course from the list under the SITE PLUS tab

CCCP apologizes for being unable to update/add a few questions as we had planned to due to utilizing an older application platform; CCCP is working on correcting it. Questions that need to be updated and added include:

  • Gender Responses: at this time we could not add a response to include a nonbinary gender option.
  • The College Promise listed as BOG Waiver; applicants can answer yes if part of The College Promise.
  • Are you interested on resources for formerly incarcerated/system impacted students?
  • Are you interested on resources for LGBTQ+ students?
  • Preferred/Lived name:
  • In the UC TAP, you are able to respond to all these questions. In the CCCP Scholars application, you can indicate you have included information in your UC TAP account in the comment box, before submitting. Again, our apologies for the inconvenience.
REQUIREMENTS ONCE A SCHOLAR

To complete the program, scholars are required to:

  1. Attend at least one CCCP-sponsored activity each quarter​ (Fall, Winter, Spring)
  2. Make at least one contact with a peer advisor each quarter​ (Fall, Winter, Spring)
  3. Maintain enrollment at a California Community College​
  4. Research and apply for at least one scholarship​

  6. Use their UC TAP to report academic and transfer progress each semester enrolled at a community college
  7. Complete a program entrance survey in the summer and a program exit survey at the end of the spring.
  8. If admitted and enrolled at UCLA, engage with CCCP and campus partners in enhancing UCLA’s transfer receptive culture.
RETURNING SCHOLAR?

Returning scholars applications will be given priority if you​

  1. Met satisfactorily current/former year requirements​
  2. Completed CCCP application by deadline
  3. ​Update your UC TAP information

CCCP returning scholars can apply to any summer programs. ​For SITE PLUS, Scholars need to meet all requirements and complete all essays but your response to question four will be the on reviewed more closely.

As a returning Scholars, you will be asked for your CCCP profile ID number which should have been included in your first CCCP acceptance email. If you cannot find it, please contact us.

Student staff mentor/femtor/themtor community college students, motivating them to consider top tier research institutions like UCLA by sharing their own stories, resources and strategies on navigating the transfer process. CCCP provides mandatory training that includes an introduction to Critical Race Theory in Education and a Transfer Receptive Culture.
