The Graduate School makes every practical effort to ensure that our programs are accessible to physically challenged participants and participants with special needs. We can arrange for special materials, readers or interpreters for our participants who are visually or hearing impaired, provided we receive adequate notice - there is no guarantee we can meet late requests.
You must be officially enrolled in a class to initiate any ADA accommodations request. Please plan ahead to contact the Registrar’s Office at least four weeks before the course or program begins to discuss your specific needs and arrangements. You can contact the Registrar’s Office online or by calling (202) 314-3320, (888) 744-4723, or our TDD number for the hearing impaired, (888) 744-2717.
