Transition Services
Welcome
NKU’s Office of Testing and Disability Services welcomes you to the 2011-2012 school year. While construction and new planning continues across our campus, we are still here to offer you the tools you need to succeed in college. As a reminder, we have many accommodations to assist you during your college years. From alternative textbooks to extended time testing, we make sure you have what you need to be on the road to success! If you are unsure of the accommodations for which you have been approved, please feel free to make an appointment with our office to go over this information.
Online Skills Workshops
To better serve students, we are providing our popular skills workshops in an online format. You can review the powerpoint presentations using the links below. In the near future, the workshops will be expanded to include audio and video components to enhance the learning experience.
