Unsure of Which Institution to Choose and How I Can Use Work Experience to My Benefit
#18
You mentioned that reading long text is an issue for you and you change the font. At UMPI you don't have textbooks. All of the course content is self contained in their learning platform so it's kind of like Sophia. Every class has quizzes which aren't included in your final grade but are required to continue to progress through the course. You won't be able to change the font in the learning platform but the text is a fairly large font. The reading material isn't like reading a chapter in a textbook. The content is broken down into numerous webpages so you're not spending half an hour reading about 1 topic. Most topics in the business program are a few pages at the most. There are also pages with links to external articles for additional reading and videos to watch. The external articles and videos aren't included in the quizzes.

I would definitely let your academic advisor know that you have a disability and request those services. They may give you more time on the exams. They may even have a way to change the font on the learning platform that students can't access.
