Undergraduate Colleges First-Generation Student Programs & Services

First Generation Student Programs & Services

The Undergraduate Colleges aim to provide a supportive community for our first-generation students from the time that you transition into college through the turning of your tassel at commencement.  Our goal is to empower first-generation students to successfully navigate the college experience through supportive programs, access to a community of first-generation students, staff, and faculty, and leadership opportunities.

In accordance with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home executive order issued March 19, 2020.  All events must be postponed or cancelled until further notice due to the potential transmission of Coronavirus. Your support is very important to us, however our first priority is the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. Please visit the UC San Diego current campus status page on the Return to Learn website for updates to campus.
