Study Strategies | For Continuing Students

After transitioning into Cal, students face further transitions as they select a major, take upper division courses, consider research opportunities, and prepare for graduate or professional school. The following services can help you meet the challenges of these transitions.

  • Learning and study strategies
  • Health, well-being and balance
  • Personal and social issues
