EOP Campus Resource Guide
Navigating the university landscape can be overwhelming and confusing at times.. Where do I start? What resources are available to support me? Who can I turn to for questions?
Don’t worry! EOP has created a digital resource guide to provide information about various departments and student organizations that you can add to your UC Berkeley roadmap. We offer an extensive campus referral network and partner closely with many of these resources while striving to meet the student’s holistic needs.
Additional Resources to Connect With…
1) UCB COVID-19 Resources & Support
2) UC Berkeley Basic Needs Center Resources
The Basic Needs Center acts as a virtual and physical hub that provides and connects students to essential services that impact health, belonging, and overall well-being. The Basic Needs Center provides education, prevention and emergency relief programs in the core areas of basic needs: food security, housing security and financial stability. All enrolled students including undergraduate, graduate, international, and undocumented students are eligible for Basic Needs Center programs and services. Students can access support from our team by completing our Assistance Form

4) Student Technology Equity Program (STEP)
For students in need of free hardware or internet access. Submit your application by the July 15 priority deadline to be reviewed in time for a device to be sent to students via FedEx by the start of Fall 2020 instruction.
The Student Learning Center is the premier undergraduate academic support unit at UC Berkeley. Founded in 1973, the Center was established to provide a rigorous and inclusive space for undergraduates to collaborate, learn, and grow. We view peer collaboration as the touchstone of academic and personal success.
6) Assist
ASSIST is an online student-transfer information system that shows how course credits earned at one public California college or university can be applied when transferred to another.
Located at 120 Sproul Hall, Cal Student Central enables students to visit one location to inquire about registration issues or charges on their account, verify enrollment, order a transcript, pay their tuition and fees, drop off financial aid documents, apply for an Emergency Loan or pick up a refund check.
BPSA allows students the opportunity to study in universities throughout the world. Also, review the Benjamin A.Gilman International Scholarship for scholarship opportunities offered to students with financial need that are interested in study abroad.
