Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

 

  1. Students will meet with Professor Malickel during the first week of classes to review and sign off on their accommodation plan.
  2. If housing needs are a concern students need to clearly indicate this so that it is addressed over the summer.
  3. Lastly, if students are planning to attend Summer Bridge, then they need to indicate and forward their docs so that the review can be completed, and the meeting can take place on the first day of summer bridge. The summer accommodation plan will then be in effect based on the bridge courses the student is taking and a new plan will go into effect for fall courses (similar to the above process).
