FAQs about Certificate of Deafness for Tuition Wavier through Office
\nfor Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services (DHHS)<\/p>\n
The following questions and answers are specific to the Certificate
\nof Deafness for Tuition Waiver: <\/p>\n
Do I need to submit a new certificate to my college\/university each
\nsemester? <\/p>\n
No, the enabling statute states your certificate is good for the
\nentirety of your program. The only time a college\/university may ask
\nfor another certificate is if you change your major or focus of
\nstudy. <\/p>\n
I only have a copy of my certificate and the college\/university wants
\nan original, what do I do? <\/p>\n
If the college\/university wants an originally signed document and you
\nno longer have one, you can request one from DHHS. However, the date
\nof the certificate will be the date you originally were deemed
\neligible for the program. You will need to let DHHS know your current
\naddress when you request the duplicate. <\/p>\n
Does the certificate cover expenses other than tuition? <\/p>\n
The tuition waiver only covers tuition and tuition-based fees. If the
\namount of the fee is determined by the amount of your tuition (or how
\nmany hours\/credits you are taking), then that fee should be covered
\nby the waiver. The waiver never covers books, supplies or the cost of
\nany needed accommodation. <\/p>\n
Do I need to re-apply for a certificate after a certain timeframe? <\/p>\n
No, your certificate does not expire. <\/p>\n
Is there a limit to the educational level I can achieve using my
\nCertificate? <\/p>\n
There is no limit. Individuals who qualify can enroll for studies up
\nto and including the post-graduate level, as long as enrollment is at
\na state-supported college or university. <\/p>\n
Can my old audiogram be used for my Certificate of Deafness for
\nTuition Waiver application? <\/p>\n
As long as the audiogram reflects your current hearing status there
\nis no time limit on when the test was done. <\/p>\n
If I meet the criterion in Part II, do I need to complete Part III
\nand\/or Part IV? <\/p>\n
No. Parts III and IV are alternate criteria to establish eligibility
\nwhen the regular criterion is not met. <\/p>\n
