The University of Texas campus also has a dedicated Center for Services for students with disabilities. Adapted instructional materials and test assignments are available to all students who need assistance.
Depending on the student’s needs, a sign language interpreter can be provided at no cost to the student, or the overall course load can be reduced. In an effort to make the campus a welcoming and comfortable place for all students, the University of Texas offers special accommodations for students who are deaf-blind, students in wheelchairs, students with speech impairments and other disabilities.
The goal of this program is to help deaf and hard-of-hearing students attend Texas State Colleges and Universities. The suspension covers all fees, charges, and registration fees for which deductions may be legally made, including tuition for correspondence courses, general deposit fees, and student service fees (except for fees or charges for housing, food, or clothing). No money can be used to pay tuition for continuing education courses for which UT Dallas does not receive state tax assistance.
To be eligible for a waiver, you must:
Be a Texas resident.
Apply for a training program when you apply for a dismissal.
Provide verification from the Department of Secondary and Recreational Services of your status as a deaf or hard-of-hearing person.
Enroll in courses for which UT Dallas receives a state tax subsidy (i.e., a course that is not solely dependent on student tuition and fees to cover costs).
In addition, undergraduate students must maintain a cumulative average grade point average of 2.0 and not be charged for excess years, as determined by the Registrar’s Office. Graduate students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
