Newly Admitted Students/Orientation

Admitted Student Visit Days

On every Admitted Student Visit Day, a representative from Student Accessibility Services will be available for questions at the Center for Academic Success table during the Student Life Open House on the 4th floor of the Dudley H. Davis Center.

Appointments

For students and families not visiting on an Admitted Student Visit Day, SAS is still available to meet by appointment.  Please call 802-656-7753 or email access@uvm.edu to arrange a specific time.  If possible, please schedule a minimum of one week in advance.

Documentation

Documentation can be submitted at any time to SAS.  Generally, we recommend submitting it beginning in May, after the deadline for enrollment but before New Student Orientation in June.  For students concerned about eligibility before enrolling, SAS can do a preliminary review of documentation by request.  Documentation can be submitted in the following ways:

Email: access@uvm.edu
Fax: 802-656-0739
Mail:
633 Main St.
A170 Living/Learning Center
Burlington, VT 05405

In person: (same address as listed above)

Housing

Students seeking a disability-related housing accommodation should submit documentation in support of this request as soon as possible after enrolling, and before the June 1st deadline.  For more information, please view the housing page.

Placement Exams

Prior to attending New Student Orientation, students are required to take two placement exams tests, in foreign language and math, to determine at what course level the student should begin.  If a student is not taking a foreign language, they are not required to take the Foreign Language Placement Test.  The foreign language placement test is not timed.

All students are required to take the Math Readiness Test.  The test is timed at 45 minutes, but students eligible for extended time as an accommodation based on a documented disability can receive double-time (90 minutes) by contacting the SAS office and submitting the appropriate documentation.  All questions regarding the test itself should be sent to math@uvm.edu
