UC Campus Programs & Support Services

It can be overwhelming if you’ve never been to a UC campus. There are so many buildings, and everyone seems in a hurry. The good news is that there’s a lot of help available for you if you need it—and even if you don’t think you need assistance, these programs are an excellent way to meet other students with similar interests and get involved on campus.

Disabled Student Programs

Disabled Student Programs (DSP) offer various services to students with disabilities. Students who have been diagnosed with a disability, whether permanent or temporary, are eligible for these services if they meet the criteria listed below:

A physical or mental impairment substantially limits one or more major life activities.
Have an educational history that indicates the need for special services to participate in DSP-supported classes.

The application process for DSP is quite simple: you need to submit an online application form and provide documentation from your doctor stating that you have a qualifying condition. Once accepted into our program, we will assist with registering for classes, completing coursework assignments and providing academic accommodations such as extended time on exams or tests so that all students can succeed academically regardless of their abilities!

Transfer Student Resources

Transfer students have a different experience than first-year students. They’ve already been in a college or university setting and may be looking for more specific resources than first-time freshmen. UC Berkeley’s Transfer Student Resource Center can help transfer students with course planning, financial aid, and academic advising. In addition to providing general educational support services for all transfer students (such as workshops on time management), this office also offers programs specifically designed for California community college transfers.

The Transfer Student Resource Center offers the following:

A variety of workshops on topics like time management, study skills and note-taking, as well as one-on-one sessions with an academic advisor who can answer questions about transferring credits from other schools;
Tutoring sessions focused on preparing students for their major field(s) of study;

Veterans Programs

The UC Office of the President has several programs for veterans, including:

Tuition and fees. Veterans who are California residents may be eligible for a waiver of nonresident tuition at all UC campuses (except UCLA) and most CSU campuses. For more information, visit the Veterans Affairs website or call (800) 723-2311 ext. two #
Housing assistance. The University offers on-campus housing with exceptional support services for veterans’ needs near campus. Eligibility is based on service branch, dates served, and discharge status (see below). To apply directly through our Housing Office, click here.

Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP)

EOP provides academic support and resources to students who have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education. EOP helps students develop the skills they need to be successful at UC Davis by offering tutoring, counselling, workshops, peer mentorships and more.

EOP also focuses on developing leadership skills through its Student Success Scholars program. Students in this program complete service projects around campus that benefit not only their fellow students but also the broader community at large.

Non-traditional students programs

Non-traditional students:

Students with disabilities: The UC system provides support programs for students with disabilities, including financial aid and tutoring.
Veterans and military families: The University of California offers several resources for veterans, including an online veteran centre that provides information on benefits, educational resources and more.
Current or former foster youth: If you’re a current or former foster youth looking to attend college, visit the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s website for information about applying to college, as well as scholarships available specifically designed for this population!

EOP Programs (Educational Opportunity Programs): These are federally funded programs designed to help first-generation college students succeed academically by providing them with academic advising services and other resources, such as peer mentorship programs that match incoming first-year students with upper-level students who have gone through similar experiences in high school so they can share tips on how best prepare themselves academically before starting classes on campus next week!

Current and former foster youth programs

Financial aid: If you are a current or former foster youth, UC can provide additional funds to help cover your tuition and fees.
Admissions: We’re here to help with the application process and answer any questions about eligibility requirements, the application process and more.
Housing: UC has partnered with several community-based organizations throughout California that provide housing options for students needing affordable accommodations near campus. For more information on these options, please visit Housing & Residential Life at ucsc.edu/housing/.
Life skills: Whether learning how to cook for yourself or budgeting your time wisely — we’ll help prepare you for life outside of school!
Career planning: We’ll connect our students with opportunities from employers who value diversity in their workplace through events like career fairs held on campus each year during the fall quarter (Oct.-Dec.). Students can also take advantage of professional development opportunities offered through various departments within Student Affairs, such as the Career Services & Internships Office (CSI), Center for Student Involvement & Leadership Development (CSILD), Student Health Center/Counseling Services Program Office, etc…

You can get help with many different things.

The UC Student Aid Commission (SAC) offers a variety of financial aid programs, including scholarships and grants for low-income students. If you qualify for these programs, they’ll pay your tuition costs directly to the school–no loans involved!
Many campuses offer tutoring services through their libraries or learning centres. These resources can be beneficial if you have trouble understanding a class or want extra practice before an exam. You can also use free online resources like Khan Academy or Coursera that provide interactive tutorials on subjects like math or science topics covered in your classes each semester; check out these websites today!
