Academic Support at Reinhardt 

The Academic Support Office (ASO) provides support to RU students with documented disabilities. However, the ASO is well known for the support that it offers to students with specific learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorders over the years. Since 1982, students assisted by the ASO have been successful at Reinhardt, and many have graduated and become successful in their chosen careers.  What makes ASO unique is that it is staffed by full-time professional educators who are also very proficient in working with students with disabilities.

ASO Program Requirements

Applicants:

• must meet regular Reinhardt entrance requirements.
