Special Support Services

web.oasis.ufl.edu/

The Office for Academic Support and Institutional Services (OASIS) in 200 Walker Hall, coordinates and directs support and enrichment services for all regularly and specially admitted minority students (African American, Asian American, Hispanic American and Native American). This includes participants in the Upward Bound Program, the Student Enrichment Services Program and other regularly admitted students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This office works closely with the Office of Admissions and counselors in high schools and community colleges to facilitate the admission of minority students.

Once students are admitted, OASIS continues to assist their retention by providing academic counseling, tutoring, referrals and advocacy. OASIS works closely with the Academic Advising Center to provide training for and information about its special programs.

OASIS strives to enhance academic progress. Tutors are provided in math, English, biological sciences, statistics, economics, chemistry and physics. Referrals are made and tutoring arranged in other areas through the Teaching Center, S.W. (Broward Hall), the Reading and Writing Center and other campus-wide offices. OASIS helps students develop coping and social adjustment skills by providing successful peers and role models. Enrichment services include recruitment, retention workshops and seminars, academic progress monitoring, orientation programs, research and evaluation activities, and educational and social activities.
