Campus Resources

The Division of Student Affairs strives to support every student's success through a wide range of educational programs, resources, and services critical to student enrollment, persistence, and graduation. Students are encouraged to become familiar with all Student Affairs units early in their UCSB experience.

Departments and Services

 

Campus currently has two options available for students whose mobility is impacted:

The Mobility Transport Program is coordinated by Veterans & Military Services and provides on-campus transportation to students with permanent or temporary mobility limitations. Per their website:

"Our job is to empower students to successfully navigate the campus more easily, ensuring they can attend classes, and access campus facilities without hindrance. We transport students using electric carts to and from campus, whether that be from their residence, a campus parking lot, or any location on or near campus. Students that live much farther can be transported with our Van and link up with a cart to get access to the central portion of campus."

The Associated Students Lyft/Uber Reimbursement Program (AS Rides) is funded by Associated Students which has provided funding for this pilot transportation program. Renewal of this program is on a quarter-by-quarter basis and the program is subject to change or termination at any time.

Reimbursement will be provided for academic and treatment-related travel expenses using a transportation service (Lyft, Uber, etc.). Associated Students will reimburse the use of service to and from class, medical appointments, and physical therapy appointments within the Isla Vista/Goleta/Santa Barbara area.

The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) is a “Schedule A” recruitment program that connects federal government and private-sector employers nationwide to highly motivated college students with disabilities. UCSB currently participates in WRP, providing access to opportunities that range from summer internships to full-time positions for all class levels in all occupational fields.

CIRM COMPASS – Paid Internship Program for Regenerative Medicine Research at UCSB

The CIRM COMPASS Program is a robust, two-year research internship that aims to train undergraduate scholars in stem cell
biology and engineering, with the goal of preparing the next generation of diverse leaders in regenerative medicine. Areas of
research include stem cell biology, cellular and tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and gene therapy. The COMPASS
program will span twenty-four (24) consecutive months during the student’s junior and senior years.

DSP recognizes the CIRN COMPASS program as a partner to and for Disabled Students.

DSP is given information about the upcoming COMPASS application cycle during early summer and will forward the information via email to DSP students who may meet the eligibility requirements. For questions outside of the application cycle, please email Dr. Britney Pennington at bop@ucsb.edu.

 

Allison Jackson Memorial Scholarship

  • Are you currently enrolled at UCSB?
  • Are you an African American student?
  • Do you have a 2.0 GPA or higher?
  • Do you demonstrate financial need?
  • Are you from the LA area?

If so, then there is a $1000 scholarship opportunity for you - The Allison Jackson Memorial Scholarship.

The Allison Jackson Memorial Scholarship was established by family and friends, in memory of Allison Lilia Jackson, who died in early September 1988, just prior to beginning her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. As a graduate of John Muir High School in Pasadena, California, Allison was accepted to UCSB for the fall quarter of 1988. Unfortunately, Allison suffered from sickle cell anemia - a condition that made her strong and confident in her outlook on life. The disease claimed her life during her participation in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Summer Transitional Enrichment Program (STEP) just short of her beginning to fulfill her promises and aspirations as a university student.
