The Math Bootcamps are computer-based, self-paced, and in-person assisted learning programs focused on individual learning progress. This is a free, non-credit, and non-financial aid eligible program offered by the Math and Science Zone to develop and reinforce the basic mathematics skills that students need for college-level math courses.

Students may use this program to build confidence and prepare for math courses for the upcoming semester without pressure. Bootcamps are offered for most CCD math courses.

Bootcamps are offered in the week preceding the start of the course in the Fall and Spring semesters. For more information, please check back closer to Fall semester or contact the Math and Science Coordinator. 

Bootcamps will also be offered for two-week sessions during the summer semester upon request. To register for a summer bootcamp, please fill out the form at this link: Bootcamp Registration Summer 2025

If you are a student who has enrolled in CCD’s high school diploma program (HSDP) math course for a future session and you would like to review some relevant math concepts before beginning the course, we have materials for you to use.

Our HSDP review is entirely voluntary, online, and self-paced. Your completion of it does not affect your grade or status in the actual CCD HSDP math course in any way, and you will only be able to access the review materials until the program starts. It is designed to be a study resource for students who want it.

If you are interested in the HSDP review, please contact the Math and Science Coordinator directly via email (see above).


Workshops

The Math and Science Zone offers specialized workshops before exams to help students reinforce their understanding of key concepts and enhance their problem-solving skills. These workshops provide targeted review sessions, practice problems, and effective study strategies tailored to the specific content of upcoming exams. By attending these workshops, students can boost their confidence and improve their performance, ensuring they are well-prepared for their tests.

Workshops are typically offered before exams during Fall and Spring Semesters. Keep an eye on this page or ask your instructor for future dates.
