Resources and Services
Advising
If you have questions or need advice about Open Campus registration procedures and guidelines, please contact UC Davis Extension before you enroll in any courses.
Inquiries about UC Davis admission policy, graduation requirements and other matters pertaining to a degree program should be directed to UC Davis Undergraduate Admissions, the dean's office of the appropriate UC Davis college or Graduate Studies.
International Students and Scholars
International students and scholars planning to enroll in Open Campus may need to obtain clearance from their sponsoring institution each quarter. If you are in J-1 status and have a DS-2019 issued by UC Davis Services for International Students and Scholars (SISS), OR you are in F-1 status and have an I-20 issued by UC Davis Extension, please complete the International Student Clearance Form prior to enrolling to confirm your study plan is appropriate to your immigration status. Those with a DS-2019 from another institution should consult with their sponsor or program manager before enrolling. Please contact the Open Campus office if you have any questions about how your visa status relates to your enrollment options.
Parking
Parking on campus requires a valid parking permit on weekdays and weeknights for automobiles, motorcycles or mopeds. Students may purchase a "C" permit to park on campus at the Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) office, located on Dairy Road, north of the West Entry Parking Structure on Hutchison Drive and east of La Rue Road. Students must present their course confirmation receipt (or other proof of enrollment) and a driver's license when applying for a permit. For additional information, please call Transportation and Parking Services at (530) 752-TAPS (752-8277) or visit their Web site at http://www.taps.ucdavis.edu.
Other Resources - UC Davis Library, Computing Labs, MyUCDavis, SmartSite and the ARC
Upon enrollment in an Open Campus course, students may receive a library card application, which must be taken to the Shields Library circulation desk to obtain a UC Davis library card for the quarter.
In addition, Open Campus students (who submit birth date and Social Security Number at time of enrollment) are eligible for a UC Davis computing account. Initiate the campus computing account (either in person at Shields Library IT Help Desk or online at https://computingaccounts.ucdavis.edu/) to gain access to a UC Davis email account, campus computing labs and MyUCDavis (http://myucdavis.edu). Activation of your computer and email account may take 48 to 72 hours after initiation.
MyUCDavis and SmartSite are Web portals that integrate several UC Davis Web applications and online services into one convenient location, and provide students with access to course information, information from the instructor, and a campus email account. A UC Davis computing account is required to access MyUCDavis or SmartSite.
Students in Physical Education classes that meet at the Activities and Recreation Center, or students wanting access to the recreation facilities, must purchase a monthly pass to use those facilities. Contact the ARC at (530) 752-6071 to confirm fee amount and obtain more information.
Services for Students with Disabilities

Please call (530) 757-8777 if you would like to register for a course and you have disability-related needs or concerns. Please contact us at least 30 days before the start of the quarter to ensure that necessary accommodations can be made.
