SUBMIT YOUR COMPLETED APPLICATION AND DOCUMENTATION TO THE DIRECTOR OF DISABILITY SERVICES
DETERMINING ACCOMMODATIONS
You will need to meet with the Director of Disability Services to discuss which accommodations will be best for each of your classes. Together, you will complete an Accommodation Memo.
APPROVED ACCOMMODATIONS
You will take the Accommodation Memo to your professors for their acknowledgment and signature. You'll then return the form to the Director of Disability Services.
WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK!
You will need to make sure you ask for your accommodations. It is not the professor's responsibility to make sure you have used your approved accommodations.
If you receive testing accommodations, you need to make an appointment with the Center for Academic Excellence at least three days in advance of your test.
Accommodations are not retroactive--meaning you do not get to redo assignments or tests because you did not make arrangements for an accommodation.
RENEW YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS EVERY SEMESTER
At the start of every semester, you will need to meet with the Director of Disability Services to review your accommodations to complete a new Accommodation Memo for your professors.
