Every year over 7000 UCSB students use CLAS services. CLAS offers something for everyone. Students find that attending a fifty-minute study skills workshop, such as time management or note taking strategies, helps them hone their study skills or learn new ones. Students studying math, science or economics find that attending a CLAS tutorial group helps them improve their problem solving skills and keep up with course reading. Students with papers to write, foreign languages to practice or math/science problems to solve utilize the drop-in labs at CLAS. Students applying to graduate schools or to Education Aboard Programs receive help composing their statements of purpose. All tutorial groups, workshops, and drop-in services are free to registered UCSB students. Students who would like to hire a private tutor can receive referrals through our offices. Students referred by the Intercollegiate Athletics Department or by the Disabled Students Program to CLAS may be eligible for individual tutoring.
