Admission to OYM is based on the program acceptance rubric which takes the following into account:  

• Student commitment/engagement   

• Likelihood of academic fit  

• Student openness to feedback/learning   

• Level of independence skills, or the willingness to learn.   

• Emotion regulation capacity  

• Management of co-occurring conditions

• Academic Rigor 
• Grades
• ACT/SAT scores if submitted
• Interview Score

The cost of the program is $4,000 per semester. Marquette financial aid will not cover the cost of this program, however, 529 savings plan funds can cover the cost. We do operate with a sliding scale fee. We highly recommend that you look into outside funding sources to help cover the cost of the program including Vocational Rehabilitation and IRIS. 

Required elements include weekly executive functioning meetings, weekly mental health sessions, weekly seminar (for the first 3 years only), and regular check ins with your peer mentor.

Though On Your Marq is a program under the Office of Disability Services, OYM is a voluntary-participation program for Neurodivergent students specifically that provides supports geared towards bolstering student success beyond traditional accommodations. The Office of Disability Services works with students with many different medical and mental-health diagnoses (including Neurodivergent students) to explore, approve, and coordinate accommodations under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Students may choose to interact with either, or both offices. Many will choose both.

OYM is designed to support students throughout their time at Marquette. Our supports grow with the student starting with supporting their transition to University, and evolving into supporting them into their transition to the workplace. This happens across all aspects of our programing.
