Welcome to UC College Prep Online, a statewide initiative of the University of California. 

UCCP develops and distributes high-quality courses and course content to benefit California students, with a special emphasis on helping underserved students prepare for college eligibility. 

Beginning this academic year (2007), UCCP will make its best course content freely available to California students and teachers.  At the same time, UCCP is developing exciting new online content and courses from the various UC campuses, programs and resources for use online and in schools.

UCCP currently offers students, educators and schools access to its content through digital lessons, open courses, and licensed courses.  Instructed courses will be available for the spring 2008 semester:

• Digital Lessons, or learning objects, are online lessons extracted from UCCP’s high quality multimedia courses.  Students can access these dynamic lessons to enhance their learning and educators can use digital lessons to complement their instruction.

• Open Courses are UCCP courses without assessments that are openly available for students and educators to use as supplemental study or complementary teaching material.  A student can go through the entire course if they wish.  Open Courses do not include instruction or course credit.

• Licensed Courses are complete UCCP courses with assessments that can be licensed by a school or school district and placed on the school or district's learning management system for the purpose of instructing students online using the school's or district's teachers.

• Instructed Courses are UCCP courses that may be instructed for credit statewide by UCCP partners.  These courses will be accepted by the University of California as UCCP courses.  This option will become available for spring 2008 semester.  Please check back at this web site for more information.

In 2008, UCCP will debut an extensive online repository of courses, content and resources geared toward student interactivity and usage, as well as new platforms and formats for the instruction of UCCP courses.  Please check this web site regularly for more information on new educational opportunites from UC College Prep Online.
