The ESP and LAWR courses listed below have a Course Material and Service Fee to cover the costs associated with the lab/course.
Students who are unable to afford the fee may seek a waiver from the department. The waiver form is available online here "Fee Waiver Form". Completed forms for ESP classes should be emailed to CAO Elle Barnes at ebarnes@ucdavis.edu before the 20th day of instruction. Please include "Course Materials Fee Waiver" in the subject line. Completed forms for LAWR classes should be emailed to CAO Chris Crum at cdharlan@ucdavis.edu before the 20th day of instruction. Only in extreme cases of financial hardship, as of yet unaddressed through financial aid, can the fee be waived. Documentation is required. You are encouraged to seek financial aid assistance from the Financial Aid Office.
For any lab or field classes taught by departments other than ESP & LAWR that count towards the ESM major, please see those departments’ websites for details on course fees and waiver application process.
