Coursework for Parents of Deaf or Hard of Hearing Children
Pursuant to Maryland (Educ.) Code Ann. Section 15-106.10, a parent (or legal guardian) of a deaf or hard of hearing child may take one course at an institution of higher education that teaches a language or a communication mode that they have chosen to communicate with their child. Parents meeting all requirements by providing appropriate documentation are exempt from paying tuition and associated mandatory fees for the course.
Parents (or legal guardians) of a deaf or hard of hearing child interested in taking a language or communication course at Towson University should contact the Registrar’s Office at 410-704-2701 or recordsandregistration AT_TOWSON for assistance with this process. Please note that course availability is not guaranteed, however, the Registrar’s Office will work with the chairperson of the Languages, Literature & Cultures or Deaf Studies program coordinator to determine course availability prior to having the parent complete the non-degree application process with Admissions. Please note there is a $50 non-refundable fee for the non-degree application – no other fees will be incurred.
