How does a student who is deaf/hard of hearing get services/accommodations through the UWM Deaf/ Hard of Hearing Program?
As soon as a deaf/hard of hearing student has been accepted to UWM, the student should contact the D/HH Student Advisor, Cassie Franklin (414-229-3871 VP/TTY or email at csmanuel@uwm.edu) to set-up an appointment. To register with the D/HH Program, the student will need to submit documentation of disability (usually a complete audiogram) to the D/HH Advisor. Students should register with the program several months before they plan on entering UWM so that the D/HH Program has ample time to arrange accommodation services. If you do not have access to a TTY, you can call the Wisconsin Telecommunications Relay Service at 711. Your call will then be relayed.
