Information Specific for Incoming First-Year Students
Students are encouraged to self-identify as soon as possible after
making their decision to attend Clark University.
Early Orientation Program:
An early orientation program begins one day before "Week One" (freshmen
orientation). Students who have self-identified and follow the time-line below
will be invited to attend Early Orientation.
The major focus of Early Orientation is to provide students and parents with
an overview of disability services. Some of the benefits of attending
Early Orientation include: meeting and working with your Week One peer
advisor before the incoming class arrives on campus; meeting other students
attending programs that begin early; having some additional time to transition
and find your way around campus; the ability to attend small workshops offered
by various offices on campus; forming lasting friendships with your peers as a
result of attending a small pre-orientation program.
We hope that the following time line will be helpful:
May: Make a decision to enroll and submit disability
documentation to the coordinator disability services. You must
self-identify prior to June 15th to attend Early Orientation.
June 15th - July 1st: Schedule a summer meeting or
telephone conference with disability services to discuss disability
documentation, academic accommodations, early course selection, and
registration.
June 30th: RSVP to the coordinator of disability
services regarding Early Orientation attendance.
July 30th: All meetings/conference calls to review
disability documentation, accommodations, and course selection must be completed by this date.
