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.
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 partner California community colleges’ equity imperatives.

“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.
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:
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:
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.
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:
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:
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.
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.

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.
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.
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:
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.
To apply to the program, participants are required to:
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:
When filling out the online application, we recommend using Chrome or Firefox as your browser. Type out your responses on a word documents and then paste them onto the application. 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:
To complete the program, scholars are required to:
Returning scholars applications will be given priority if you
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.
SUMMER/SITE LITE PROGRAMS
SITE LITE consists of virtual/in person or hybrid activities that will introduce the UCLA CCCP Scholars Program, provide transfer resources, look at multiple transfer educational pipelines, and a critical context to understand the role of community colleges in California. Students will be introduced to transfer requirements and preparation, tips for success at their community college(s), and social justice using a Critical Race Theory in Education Framework.
The Power to the Transfer Webinars (P2TT-W) is a series open to any student planning to enroll in a California community college in Fall with the goal of providing resources for multiple communities including a look at different educational pipelines, strategies to improve transfer opportunities, and a critical context to understand the role of community colleges in California. Participants must attend at least one webinar but are encouraged to attend multiple.

PEER ADVISING
CCCP ACADEMIES AND ACTIVITIES
To address digital equity gaps and the alarming community college enrollment drops exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, CCCP has received funding to develop the Innovation Initiative. This initiative seeks to leverage existing and new social media platforms and technologies within a hybrid environment to provide support, improve retention, and increase university transfer rates of communities impacted by the pandemic, including men of color and immigrant populations. The Innovation Initiative works to deliver transfer-sending content primarily at Antelope Valley College, Compton College, and Long Beach City College.
CCCP is built on the principles of community: we move forward by uplifting each other. Our community of scholars is now twenty years strong, and our center continues to find ways in which we can facilitate connections, share our sources of knowledge, and benefit not only current community college students, but also those who join Team CCCP: full-time staff, peer advisors, and volunteers. Explore the different opportunities available, and apply!
Student staff are current UCLA students, usually community college transfers and the majority whom were CCCP Scholars. They are the heart of Team CCCP: community college stigma disruptors, transfer pride ambassadors and agents for social change and justice. During the summer, student staff along with the full-time staff plan, develop and implement the entering activities for CCCP Scholars, in-person and/or virtually. 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.
The CCCP student staff positions are very competitive. Please review the requirements and expectations; application and interview process, including deadlines; and the expected time commitment along with the intentional communal benefits. If you are not selected during this cycle, we will keep your application on file for future openings.
Student staff play a key role in the success of our programs. We are looking for energetic student leaders who can be role models for a diverse group of students — Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) — who are enrolled in community colleges all over California. Ideal student staff must:

Notes:
The Center for Community College Partnerships offers UCLA students the opportunity to network with prospective transfer students. CCCP is dedicated to making UCLA a place of community and understanding for students coming from underrepresented backgrounds.
Volunteering allows for UCLA students to give back and support community college students and the communities in which they come from. In addition, it provides an opportunity for those CCCP Scholars that have been admitted and enrolled at UCLA to complete the required 20 volunteer hours per year. CCCP creates a setting in which volunteers and students can grow together and learn from one another. Volunteers will assist us in virtual ways, whether it is providing tech support during webinars or by participating in panels, etc. Please contact us if you are interested in being a volunteer.
The Center for Community College Partnerships full-time staff positions consist of Program Coordinator roles. They can be found in the UCLA Career Opportunities website. Currently, we are not accepting new applications as we are finishing up the hiring process for our new coordinator positions.
