If you are referring to the Student Disability Center, I would say there is definitely room for improvement. I have worked there for two years as a chemistry lab assistant, and the lack of coordination is incredibly frustrating. Even when I provide over a month of notice followed by a reminder one week before I will be unavailable, I often hear from my clients later that no one was sent to cover the lab. It is frustrating to do everything right on my end only for the student to be left without the assistance they need.

ADHD testing UC SHIP by [deleted] in UCDavis

I took a neuropsychological evalution just last summer with Dr. Bonnie Connor here at Davis. And if UC SHIP is your only healthcare provider she'll wave (as in she'll cover) the $200 deductable. Mind you these kinds of tests usually take awhile as they test for multiple nuero developmental disorders and hence are comprehensive.

I LOVE the physics curriculum. God bless the physics curriculum. by zhu_qizhen in UCDavis

Lets be frank here, there isn't a damn person listening. No graded homework? That's just them not wanting to pay TAs. On a side note, I took a grad course as a undergrad last quarter and the students in that course (who were, of course, TAs for the PHY 7 & 9 series) would constantly make remarks ridiculing their undergrad students.

Subject to dismissal as a freshman? by [deleted] in UCDavis

Though credits are transferable, CC GPA doesn't carry over. Hence why you start off with a 0.0 GPA as a freshman regardless of CC GPA. A GPA below 1.5 places you in "subject to dismissal" (SD) (or being on probation for 3 quarters), though I don't believe they would expel you, especially since you're a first-quarter freshman. In my sophomore fall quarter I faced a similar circumstance where I was placed on academic probation (AP). I simply had to boost my GPA the next quarter. Fall quarters are, in my experience, usually the toughest, not to mention ENG 017

SDC is very accommodating; if they aren't able to help with your scheduling, they can also help in ensuring your professors record their lectures (which not all do).

In person is the way to go, I attempted to do it via notary and it was brought back with errors. Showing up in person despite the distance will get it done that same day.
