Accommodations
- Accommodations are individually arranged through the Disability Support Services (DSS) office with the disability support services advocate.
- DSS students are protected under 504/ADA from being identified with a disability therefore the DSS office provides an accommodation memo to students to present to faculty. With a student’s consent, an accommodation memo can be sent to a designated faculty member.
- Students must meet with their instructors and let them know what accommodations they want to use. Common accommodations requested are:
- Testing: Indicate to the instructor to send the test to the Testing Center one week before the test date.
- Recording Device: Bring to class and listen to recording after class, writing down important ideas.
- Note Taker: Students can ask their instructor for assistance in finding a note taker.
- Distraction Free Space or use of Read/Write software: Students will contact the Testing Center at least one week before the test to make arrangements.
- Advance notice of in-class reading/writing.
- Avoid unexpected classroom interaction.
- Accommodations are available for all future terms as long as the accommodations are directly tied to the current impact of the disability. (Updated documentation may be requested.)
