Have you registered for classes?
If you have, be sure to provide Disability Services with a copy of your schedule if you need alternative textbooks, interpreters, CART services, etc. Remember, there is not much time between the Fall and Spring semesters to schedule services and order books so we need to get started as soon as possible to make sure everything goes smoothly for the Spring semester.
If you have any concerns about classes (i.e., labs) or internships, contact Disability Services as soon as possible to schedule an appointment with Katheryne to discuss these concerns.
