Troubleshooting: Notetaker Concerns

If you are concerned about the timeliness and/or the quality of the notes you are receiving: talk to the notetaker directly about the problem. If your concerns cannot be resolved directly, contact the DRC and let us know about the problem as soon as possible.

Asperger’s Group

Counseling and Psychological Services will be continuing the Asperger’s Support Group on Mondays 3:30-5:00 at Counseling and Psychological Services. Please call 459-3630 for more information.

Don’t Forget the Campus Climate Survey

Please help ensure that the views of students with disabilities are
included in the UCSC Community Survey.

This is a very important, confidential survey about learning, living,
and working experiences of our students, faculty and staff. The
results will provide valuable insight about students’ experience at
UCSC, their perceptions of campus climate overall, and their views on
university actions to support diversity and equity. It takes about
20-30 minutes to complete.

Go to http://survey.ucsc.edu to log in.

There are great prizes for students who complete the survey: a $10,000
undergraduate scholarship, iPads, a 7-day meal plan for one quarter,
and $75 Flexi Dollar cards.

Thank you!
