If either students or parents/guardians have a physical disability (temporary or otherwise) that may affect participation in Orientation, please notify the Office of Orientation and Testing Services once you have selected and registered for an orientation date.  We can talk to you about what accommodations are available and special arrangements may be made, if possible, through the Office of Student Disability Services.

ATTENTION:  Students who are in a Wheelchair, Blind or Visually Impaired, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, or who have a Psychiatric Disability, Traumatic Brain Injury, Learning Disability, ADD/ADHD, or other Health Impairment that may be recognized as a Disability, please see below:

Incoming students who have a documented disability need to register with the Office of Student Disability Services.  This should be done well in advance of the start of your first semester in order to ensure that you can take full advantage of any accommodations available to you.  In addition, students who may be eligible for accommodations on Placement Testing should bear in mind it can take 4 weeks or more to register your disability, so you should start the registration process as soon as possible.
