As part of the University of California’s systemwide Student Academic Preparation and Educational Partnership (SAPEP) efforts, UCLA’s APEP programs work with students and schools in traditionally underserved areas to enhance the student preparation pipeline from passing the high school exit exam (CAHSEE), to completing UC and CSU A-G eligibility required courses and taking prescribed tests to achieve UC and CSU eligibility, to graduation. Each program listed on this webpage is funded, at least in part, by SAPEP funds.

UCLA’s student/school/family focused programs that receive UC Student Academic Preparation & Educational Partnership (SAPEP) funding include the Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP); Student Initiated Access Committee (SIAC); community college APEP efforts in the College’s Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) and in the Student Affairs’ Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools office; P-20 Regional Intersegmental Alliance programs in Center X in the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies; graduate and professional school programs in the Graduate Division, Law School and Medical School; and the ArtsBridge program in the School of Theater, Film & Television.

Oversight of the UCLA’s APEP programs rests with the Dean of the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies (Aimée Dorr) and the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (Janina Montero) who serve as co-chairs for UCLA APEP programs. The campus APEP co-chairs are responsible for coordinating campus units engaged in Pre-K – 12 and community college APEP activities, coordinating with other campus units that can assist these efforts, reporting to the UC Office of the President on UCLA’s APEP efforts, and well as serving as the main source of information and referral for campus vis-à-vis academic preparation and educational partnerships.
