students a better opportunity to demonstrate
their academic abilities.
Services include readers, scribes, note-takers,
sign language interpreters, alternate exam
arrangements, advocacy, academic advising,
books on tape, screening and referral for diagnosis
of a disability, and liaison with other
University and state agencies. A learning disabilities
specialist and graduate assistants provide
one-to-one learning skills instruction. The
University also has an FM hearing assistance system
for the Galvin Fine Arts Center and Christ
the King Chapel. Personal transmitters and
receivers are available for the classroom.
Accommodations are not limited to those
above. Students are encouraged to meet with the

equal access to the opportunities provided by the
