A STATEMENT OF POLICY ON PRIORITY
AND IN-PERSON REGISTRATION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
PRIORITY REGISTRATION
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee provides advance
guaranteed registration and entry to classes for any student whose
disability makes this service necessary. Provision of this
service is contingent upon the Student Accessibility Center's (SAC)
approval prior to campus registration periods.
Each individual student request for this service will
be evaluated as to reason for the need; a completed application plus
appropriate documentation, to be provided by the student, will be
required, as well as a meeting with the appropriate Program Manager.
REGISTRATION
The Student Accessibility Center will provide limited
assistance with registration for those students with severe mobility or
sensory disabilities which prevent them from registering independently.
PRIORITY REGISTRATION FACTS
What is the purpose of
priority registration?
Priority registration enables a student to
register earlier than their usual registration time in order to provide
equal access to the classroom.
Who is eligible for priority registration?
Priority registration is available to students
who:
1. Use audio books or
Braille textbooks
2.
Need to schedule classes at specific times or locations to accommodate
their
disabilities
Are special students eligible for priority registration?
Special students who use audio books or Braille
textbooks or have other approved needs may be
eligible
for priority registration.
What do I need to do to insure that I receive priority
registration each semester?
Students must meet with their Program Manager
and be approved
for priority registration prior to the campus registration period. All
approved
students will receive an email from Enrollment Services
indicating
when they can begin to register.
Could I lose the priority registration service?
Yes. Students who do not submit timely requests
for audio books
or Braille textbooks may lose
the
priority registration service. Priority registration is authorized for
students
who use these services because advance preparation is required to
provide
the services.
Will priority registration exempt me from other
registration requirements?
No. Priority registration
does not exempt students from
meeting general registration requirements for their school or college
(e.g.,
prerequisites, academic holds, etc.). Please review your registration
instructions
carefully.
