I transferred from UC Davis to Sac State partially due to disability accommodation problems I had while attending UCD. While Sac State is attempting to enlarge their disability program, UCD made it very difficult to be successful in school.

One of the biggest problems that occurred at UCD was to successfully get the paperwork every quarter in order to extend accommodation privileges. It was hard enough to make it to class at times, but every quarter I had to get a letter from my doctor in order to qualify for services. I had a long-standing disability; it wasn't like it was going to change in such a short amount of time. Electronic doors didn't always work, and students would walk around me rather than hold a door open for me. In one building, I had to use a freight elevator to access the second floor as they didn't have a public elevator. And trying to access psychological services was a joke - they were more interested in getting out the door at the end of the day than helping a student in crisis. I got the heck out of UCD before I ended up dropping out of school altogether and never completing my education.

I felt like I was invisible at UCD and not worthy of attention. I'm pleased to see Sac State is acknowledging that this particular group of students exists. That's more than I got from UCD.
