New Students

Welcome to UC Berkeley, and congratulations for joining the Cal family! We always look forward to welcoming new students to our DSP Program.  We are here to help you to successfully transition to UC Berkeley and to connect you with the accommodations and services that will give you full access to all of Berkeley's academic environments.  

Our Disability Specialists can answer your questions every step of the way: before you apply to Cal, after admission, before you begin classes, and ongoing throughout your time at Cal.  We are here to help.
