[nabs-l] Advice needed

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi Bridget! I also agree that the Advisor can't  tell you that you can't take a class just because a health problem! In fact, I think, but this is only my opinion, if stoping a class of a program just because of a helth problem, then probably a some day an advisor will stop a blind student of taking tha class of  acourse that they want to take just because he or she is just blind since the adviser will assume that his or her blindness is a health issue! But again, this just my opinion ok? In fact, if you really want to take this class, but your advisor doe snot let you even though you have insisted him, I think you should go to the probost of your college and thel him or her your situation andif that does not work, you probably should take an  an step up,  I think you should go to see the Vice President of the college or University and tell him or her your situation! And by doing that, it will definitely be solved! I actually did that when problems in my college occured! Hope this helps! Hope to hear form you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!

You have the opportunity to take the course in the spring but, your adviser believes you do not want to even though you have told them repeatedly you want to. They dropped you from the program and said you can't take courses from that selection anymore only because of a health problem.
