• Resources within the Physics Department and STEM Diversity Programs include MARC, IMSD, CAMP and UC LEADS. 
• WEST- Workshops for Engineering & Science Transfers (WEST) is designed to give students transferring from other institutions a jump-start on entering UCSC science and engineering majors. WEST fosters collaboration between students of different educational backgrounds and actively engages participants in the real processes of research through inquiry-based activities while helping build a community of STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) transfer students. These 2.5 day workshops are held every year in September, just before the start of fall quarter classes.
• Career Center The mission of the Career Center is to promote the career development and related life planning skills of UC Santa Cruz students and alumni, and to provide access to internships and employment opportunities so students may explore career choices and nurture career goals.

• EOP EOP represents the University of California's effort to identify, retain, and graduate a diverse student body. With that in mind, the mission of EOP is to promote the retention, academic success, and graduation rates of first generation college, low-income, and educationally disadvantaged student populations, and to assist these students with preparation for admission to graduate and professional schools.
• ACE The Academic Excellent Program provides discussion sections in biology, pre-calculus, general and organic chemistry and physics. Sections meet for 4 hours each week with professional teaching staff and take the place of the required secondary discussion section for your math or science lecture.
• DRC The Disability Resource Center assists the UCSC campus with equal educational access for students with disabilities.
• LSS Learning Support Services offers Small Group Tutoring (SGT) and Modified Supplemental Instruction (MSI) services.
• SGT Small Group Tutoring provides a setting of 1-6 students which allows for more individualized group learning opportunities, these sessions are led by advanced Student Tutors.
