Here at the University of Maryland our Disability Support Service will often work with financial aid and the registrar's office to authorize a reduced course load to count as full-time status. Of course, this decision is done after full consideration of the student's documentation. Usually it is a reduction to 9 credits but I have seen a situation where a student who was newly blind was allowed to enroll in 6 credits and have it count as full-time status. I would recommend that you talk with your Disability Support Service people and/or your registrar. -----Original Message----- From: Open Forum for Learning Assistance Professionals [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Debbie Cunningham Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 11:15 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Full Time Status Accomodation for Students with Disabilities We have a student with a documented disability who is requesting a reduced work load as an accommodation. Specifically, s/he is asking to be allowed to carry a reduced course load but still be considered full time. Is anyone aware of similar practices on other campuses?
