also not even mentioning that selecting classes early means we can select the time frames we’re wanting? like yes actually people with disabilities may perform worse early in the morning or late at night, also if you are physically disabled you should be able to choose classes that have the correct access to you??
This person just sounds jealous folks are getting accommodations but what they are saying is just inconsiderate. At my school, early registration is available to sign up through our ADA disability department, but it also is an option for students that need to take classes only during specific hours like if they are working or have recurring drs appointments
i feel like it shouldn’t be automatic and you should have to request early registration, cause i’m registered with disability resources at my school but i really don’t have a need for early registration. some people would definitely benefit from it and they should have access to it but some of us don’t need it
It alleviates the burden of everyone rushing to sign up for classes all at the same time and gives more grace to those who struggle with time blindness and executive dysfunction. It can be really great for planning schedules and coordinating classes with things like work, medical care, etc., as well.
But not to the same extent. Having a disability is, in fact, disabling. That’s like saying “everyone has difficulty running” to someone with a disability that affects their legs. Yes, everyone has some difficulty running to an extent, but the person with that disability has even more difficulty and is starting at a disadvantage to an able bodied person
Like I said in my post I take a stimulant medication that helps me focus and it lasts about 8 hours, when I can register early, I am gaurenntef to have my classes happen in that 8 hour time frame so I’m not worried about not being able to pay attention :) like if I had 3 morning/afternoon classes and then one later evening class that same day, I would struggle greatly in that evening class. I appreciate you asking questions instead of assuming the worst of those who register early. thank you <3
The accommodation shit is out of control, tbh. Universities aren’t offered accommodations due to necessity. They’re catering to every whiner out of fear of being hit with a lawsuit. No one needs to register for classes early. Be fucking serious. If you don’t get the class you want, take it later. If that isn’t an option, tough shit. That’s being a student.
