What our students say about us

"This [Understanding Your Grade presentation] is very important for my academic career in case I find myself struggling a lot in one of my classes. I need to know my options when faced with a problem like that. They also offered their services if I ever find myself in that position. It is good to know that I have experienced people who could help me in my decision..."

"I met with Chrystle for both of my Sci-X appointments and genuinely felt more assured of my academic path and progress following both meetings. Following this meeting, I knew how to proactively search for both research and work/study opportunities in pursuit of bolstering my academic CV for graduate school."

"I learned that [Sci-X] can be a very helpful tool, particularly for freshmen in STEM classes. Sci-X can help students get involved in research, explore internship opportunities, and help students succeed in their classes. They host virtual and in-person workshops to teach valuable skills and help students make connections with faculty and other like-minded students."

"One thing I will say is that I appreciate all of Amy’s help. Each time I have met with her she has always provided me with a solution or directed me to someone else who might be able to help me."

"Coming to UCSC as a first-generation student, it was hard for me to find resources to help me throughout my college experience. Thanks for this Chemistry 3A course—it allowed me to learn about Sci-X and be able to reach out and get guidance. It has been extremely helpful and I can honestly say without it I probably wouldn’t have been able to declare on time for my major."
