How do I qualify for services with the DRC?

Documentation must be from an appropriate medical provider, be current (usually no more than three years old, or 6-12 months old for psychological documentation), and must meet specific UC system-wide guidelines for documentation.

There are four types of guidelines for assessing disabilities. Be sure to review, below, the one(s) appropriate for you. If you have more than one disability please provide adequate documentation for each:

Send or bring documentation to:

Disability Resource Center
146 Hahn Student Services
1156 High Street
Santa Cruz, CA 95064
Fax: 831-459-5064

Note: You are strongly advised to give a copy of the guidelines to your treating clinician. Insufficient documentation that does not meet UC criteria may result in a delay of services. Disabilities have a wide range of severity and effect. The more specific information we receive, the better we can determine appropriate accommodations for you.

Documentation can be faxed, mailed or hand-delivered to our office. Be sure to call us at 831-459-2089 (V) or 831-459-4806 (TTY) to make an appointment with a Coordinator once you have your documentation. If you ask the doctor to send your documentation to us directly, be sure to follow up by calling us to make sure it has arrived, and to make an appointment.
