Welcome New Students! Welcome to UCSC. Hopefully most of you attended our annual orientation and have familiarized yourselves with our procedures for obtaining accommodations. If you haven’t already scheduled an appointment to see a Service Coordinator please do so ASAP. Please call 459-2089 to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions regarding accommodations. We are open 8-5 Monday through Friday.
Part Time Status Forms for Undergrads are due at the Registrar’s Office by Wednesday, October 15, 2008. If you are enrolled as a full time student and are considering taking 10 or less units this quarter you need to submit a Part- Time Status Form to the Registrar’s office. The deadline is October 15th in order to receive partial reimbursement of your tuition. The Part-Time Status forms are available at the DRC along with the form required by the Registrar’s office. Our office hours are 8-5 Monday through Friday except holidays.
Add/Drop/Swap Classes Ends Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Deadline to process enrollment transactions. Service Request Reminder If you are in need of accommodations this quarter please complete a Service Request Form ASAP if you haven’t already done so. You will need to come by our office to fill out a new Information Sheet for the year and complete a Service Request Form at the same time. Remember to attend each one of your classes at least once so that you know what accommodations you will be requesting.
Tutoring Reminder All students can sign up for Writing or Subject tutoring sessions on-line at https://eop-apps.ucsc.edu/OTSS/tutorsignup/ You will need your Student ID and date of birth in order to register and access the system. Learning Support Services offers subject tutoring in courses such as Math, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Physics, Psychology, Sociology and many more!
Sign-ups begin on October 7th and will remain open until November 21st. If you anticipate that you will need a tutor this quarter we suggest that you sign up early. Please contact Learning Support Services at 459-4333, or go by their office at the Academic Resources Center (ARCenter) if you need assistance with the on-line tutor sign-up system.
DRC Drop Box Doh! I forgot to pick up my notes at the DRC and now it’s the weekend!!
If you cannot get to our office during business hours there is a small stainless steel drop box located on the wall directly across from the South Entrance door to the Hahn building. The South Entrance is the door closest to the metered parking area. Just give us a call anytime between 8-5 Monday through Friday to request that we put your papers in the box and you can pick them up when it is convenient for you. Now there is no excuse not to review your notes over the weekend!
Check Your Final Schedule We know, we know, it’s way too early to be talking about finals but…once you've enrolled in your Fall courses, be sure to check the Schedule of Classes for your final exam dates and times. With extra time given to some DRC clients for test taking it is not uncommon to have exam time overlap. Contact your service coordinator EARLY in the quarter if you have schedule conflicts.
