Welcome to CLAS!

Campus Learning Assistance Services (CLAS) assists students in their mastery of University course material through course-specific tutoring and academic skills development. CLAS services complement University instructions and lead to increased understanding and improved performance.

Over 7000 students each year are assisted by our staff of program coordinators, learning skills counselors, instructors, and over 160 graduate and undergraduate tutors and peers. Instructional groups for a wide range of math, science, statistics, and economics courses and workshops addressing a variety of academic skills are available and require advance sign-up. In addition, drop-in tutoring is available for writing, math, science, statistics, economics, and foreign language. All services are available to registered UCSB students at no extra cost.

CLAS is committed to working collaboratively with faculty, teaching assistants, administrators, staff, and students to sustain a rich academic support environment. CLAS provides quarterly reports to programs within the Student Affairs division, design and implement applied workshops upon faculty request, and supports UCSB summer programs including Orientation, Freshmen Summer Start Program, Early Start Program, Transitions for Transfer Students, and STEP (the Summer Transitional Enrichment Program).
