The nature of some students’ disabilities necessitates that they take a reduced courseload. Because taking less than a full-time load can have implications for health insurance coverage and eligibility for University programs and services, SSD may recommend that a student with a disability take a reduced courseload as an accommodation while still being considered full-time. This determination is made on a case-by-case basis and is re-reviewed every semester. If you receive a reduced courseload letter, please take it into consideration when outlining the student’s program of study, approving course schedules, and the number of hours taken, and satisfactory progress reports. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the SSD staff member who wrote the letter.
