The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #51:

Do public universities allow students with Learning Disabilities to register early for classes?

Answer #51:

The procedures are different at each school. Where there is no centralized program for LD students, there is usually no early registration. However, most schools will accommodate individual requests based on valid and documented disability issues. Some schools have special orientation programs lasting two or three days for students with LD so that they can get used to the campus and all of its resources before things get too hectic. The academic advisor should also be able to help ensure that students with learning differences enroll in classes with the proper balance of difficulty. It is also the advisor's job to help the student plan a long-term program which will allow for completion of the degree in a reasonable period of time with a course load each semester that is not stressful or taxing. EDUFAX provides services for the Learning Disabled Student.
