- Visit UA Early College for more information on course offerings.
When should I register with ODS?
Once enrolled in Early College, you may register with ODS. You must have a current course schedule in order to complete an Intake appointment. Students generally contact ODS once they have registered for UAEC 200.
There is no deadline to register with ODS. However, accommodations cannot be retroactively applied to coursework that has already taken place.
Early College students who are accepted to UA as an undergraduate student should contact their Accommodations Specialist to determine whether additional documentation or steps are required to receive accommodations.
Can I submit my IEP or 504 plan as documentation for Early College accommodations?
Yes. Generally, an IEP or 504 document will have sufficient information to provide accommodations for dual enrollment coursework.
However, an IEP or 504 may not be sufficient to determine accommodations at the undergraduate level. Please review ODS' documentation requirements if you plan to enroll at UA as an undergraduate student.
Will I receive the same accommodations I receive in high school?
It depends. Early College courses function like an undergraduate course and students are earning college credit. Accommodations or services offered in high school may not be reasonable in the college setting. An Accommodations Specialist can discuss these differences in detail during your Intake meeting.
Can ODS communicate with my parents?
ODS cannot communicate with parents, guardians, or family members without your consent. You may complete a Release of Information in the ODS Online Portal if you want to grant permission to speak with someone on your behalf.
More information about confidentiality is available in the ODS student handbook.
