Program Overview
University of Indianapolis BUILD is a voluntary support program that is designed to help students with learning-related disabilities earn an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. This is a fee-for-service program that goes significantly beyond the appropriate, reasonable accommodations required for ADA compliance.
We hold BUILD preview opportunities four times a year, both in-person and virtually. https://uindy.edu/ssd/build-preview-day
