DISABILITY SERVICES HANDBOOK 2008 - 2009

Accommodation Procedures: Priority Registration

Priority registration allows students to register for their classes early in the registration period. Priority registration may be granted to students with disabilities on a case-by-case basis when there is a disability-related need. All priority registration requests are reviewed and approved by the Director of Disability Services or his/her designee. Eligibility for priority registration will be periodically reevaluated; prior approval does not constitute automatic entitlement for on-going eligibility.

Please follow the steps below to access priority registration.

• The student must sign a release that allows DS to give the student's name and social security number to the Registrar's office so an early registration time can be assigned to the student.

• The student should make an appointment with his/her academic advisor as early as possible during the advising/registration period to plan a class schedule. The advisor will provide the student with an Advising Registration Code (ARC) that is required to access online registration.

• After meeting with an advisor and receiving the ARC, the student may register for classes online at the time assigned by the Registrar's office.

Please note:

• The student may consult with DS staff regarding academic advising and course registration, but it is still necessary for the student to meet with his/her academic advisor.

• After finalizing a class schedule with an advisor, the student should meet with a DS staff member if the student needs assistance in arranging accommodations for the upcoming semester(s).
