> you can't tell me that a certified program doesn't have assistance for persons with disabilities, or medical emergencies. that's not allowable if it is a legit program. they can't just tell you that if you don't continue on you can never graduate. there must be provisions (federal guidelines). they may not be the best, or even ones that would work for you...but they MUST be implemented.>
Yep, exactly. That would be a violation of your rights under the Americans w/ Disabilities Act and Section 504.
However, you must have a documented disability and you should have it documented through your school's disabilities resource center.
I am in a similar situation, contemplating whether or not it is even feasible to stay in a very very tought graduate program (10-15 graduate credits + clinical practicum + TAship!). I am choosing to do something other than the lockstep program, because taking that many graduate credits is too much for me.
