Special Transitional Enrichment Program

The Special Transitional Enrichment Program (STEP) helps students develop skills that will improve their performance at the University. STEP begins with a four-week summer residential program and continues for students’ first two years on campus. It provides transitional classes and skills development activities along with intensive counseling and academic advising. Participation in STEP allows students to: experience campus life and develop friendships while living in the residence halls; enroll in fall quarter classes; sharpen their skills through preparatory classes; and, learn about campus resources.

Program Objectives

  • To assist students in strengthening their learning skills and study habits in areas where improvement is needed.
  • To help students prepare for university-level work by providing three weeks of instruction prior to the fall quarter.
  • To assist students in making a good social adjustment to the UC Davis campus by providing living/learning experiences in the residence halls and a general orientation to campus life.
