Faculty/Program Advisors

Each student with a disability is assigned a faculty or program adviser from his/her program major, in the same manner that any student without a disability is assigned an academic adviser. The academic advisors are intended to advise the student during the class scheduling period. By disclosing a disability to the advisor, the advisor may better understand the reasons behind the request for balancing class schedules in a manner that accentuates the student’s academic strengths and diminishes the academic weaknesses. However, do not assume that by disclosing the disability to the advisor, the advisor fully understands the nature of the disability or its impact upon the academic environment.
