Clark University
Orientation

 

Bridge to Clark Early Orientation begins on August 19th and will conclude on August 20th. Bridge to Clark provides you with a solid overview of Clark’s accessibility services, managed through the Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS). You can connect with other students and have the time to transition and find your way around campus.

Please Note

In order to participate in the Bridge to Clark Early Orientation, you must have completed the registration process with Student Accessibility Services.

To Attend Bridge to Clark Early Orientation

Self-identify as a student with a disability (this usually happens when you say, “Hi, I am looking for accommodations”) and submit appropriate documentation for review. View documentation and registration guidelines.

Accommodations are processed on a rolling basis; however, any students who submit documentation after June 6 may miss early course registration and may need to register during general course registration times.

Schedule and complete an intake meeting with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) staff. This meeting can happen over the phone or via Zoom and should take no longer than 30 to 40 minutes. The intake meeting should be completed so you can take advantage of early registration.

Register for Bridge to Clark through your intake meeting with Student Accessibility Services. After registering for the program, be sure to keep up with the rest of your onboarding tasks. Visit the To-Do List for first-year students.

First-year students registered with SAS are able to participate in early registration for their first semester of courses. Please note that this occurs only for the first fall semester unless otherwise accommodated. SAS staff and advisers can assist with course selection and planning.
