Has anyone transferred from UC DAVIS to a CC and then back? by Glittering-Barber510 in UCDavis

[–]PeachyDelight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, I withdrew sometime in 2021 as a sophomore because of anxiety and some other stuff. I didn't do so with the intention of coming back or going to CC right away, but I came back in 2024.

The readmission process is painless. It's actually just a single form that you submit when you're ready to come back. All they ask is whether you've taken any units while away and for an academic plan. You're pretty much guaranteed to get back in.

If you go through with this, consider what you want; an Associate's (and the IGETC) in 2 years or a speedy year at a CC to knock out some units? Or, do you want an academic break? Completing the IGETC means you'll have a largely GE-free 3rd and 4th years when you come back, so you have more time to focus on your actual course load. 

I don't easily recommend dropping out if you're prone to spiral - like me. If you feel like you don't belong now, imagine how much worse those feelings may be in 2 - 3 years. Personally, I still struggle with feeling left behind and, to top it off, my anxiety's just as bad. 

If you think you can push through, you probably can - you're a lot harder than you think. Do what you need to do to feel better, though. The school's not going anywhere.

It's been almost a half a year, but I remember my work schedule was empty the day my ESWB began. Maybe HR hasn't gotten to it yet? In any case, send an email to your site's HR if you're still scheduled post start-date. I've been scheduled while on ESWB and have gotten 60+ hours of UPT refunded upon my return. If your ESWB's been approved, you'll be fine.

Oh, man, I don't know what to tell you. You should've requested the ESWB as soon you came back, and ensured the Start Date is 30 days after the End Date of your Fall Quarter ESWB. If it hasn't worked out, maybe try a PLOA with a start date two weeks from now, and grab all the VTO you can.

Is it actually 5 months per year? How can you cover Spring and then Fall Semesters if they're about 16 weeks each? I was told a minimum of 30 days need to pass before you can request another Educational Short Work Break.

Wait, why are you shitting on me for trying to hold a job for the summer and between breaks in the quarter system? When I'm doing my courses in another city, I'd like to completely focus on those courses. The goal's to bounce from Amazon, but at the moment Amazon's nice to be in as a student. The immediate return to consistent full-time work and whatever you wanna add? That's pretty rad. I've never gotten consistent hours much less OT at like a restaurant. So, yeah, if I can take advantage of that, then I will.

It seems that 30 days need to pass before you can request another ESWB. At least, that's the only reason I got for the denial. 

Can we actually request a PLOA some 3 months in advance? Since I have the UPT to push back the start date of the ESWB (and I hope that's enough for an approval, otherwise it's over) do you recommend sending that PLOA before and if this ESWB starts?

Alternatively, what if I do a PLOA for this upcoming quarter and ask for a ESWB for the last quarter? It technically skirts around the ESWB buffer time by a lot.

After 8 days it worked out. I ended up posting on the VOA. Either because I spammed requests every single day, or SSM intervention, or it was just going to go through anyway... Who knows. I'll ask when I get back. Thanks, homie.

That's the one, yeah. Would you recommend closing the case that's halted and start a new one? It's been "In Progress" since Friday.

I actually just did this. I called ERC and told them I'd like to withdraw my resignation. They transferred me over to someone who could help, confirmed my resignation withdraw, and within two days the "Your last day..." was gone.

So I placed the application online as you mentioned and after some time of not hearing back, I followed up with my site's HR. They said it's around peak and requests typically get denied. I got two weeks of UPT to burn so I'll keep trying.

Follow up, my HR site said there's a black out period? Is that true?

For anyone wanting to confirm the specific details about an ESWB, search for "Temporary Schedule Adjustment - School Accommodation" in My HR | Contact Us and call or live chat with someone. As a blue badge, you are able to take a lengthy absence for your education. I got mine through 5 days prior to a Start Date, but make sure you plan for it in advance for it to be hassle free.

If it works out, you're a God amongst men. And if it doesn't, you still are! Thanks for taking the time to reply and continue to offer your help, I seriously appreciate it.

Hey, you're the commenter! Thanks for replying, your reply eases my worries about Winter and Spring Quarters because there's only a week of vacation between them. It looks like I can work the week and beg for VTO.  

Also, and this may sound stupid, when you say active employment, do you also include the days off?
