Responsibility

University Responsibility

The Office of Student Disability Services is charged with the responsibility of determining eligibility for services. Our staff works with faculty and students to find the right accommodations for you. Let us know if your accommodations are not adequate. We will work with you and your instructors to provide reasonable accommodations.

Your professors are likely to be most immediately aware of your needs for attending and meeting the requirements of their class. They want you to be successful in your college experience, so let them know if you experience difficulties. This is true whether you are temporarily disabled or have documented physical, learning or psychological disabilities.

We will work with you and your professor to make accommodations that are as simple, effective and reasonable as possible, Guidelines for exam accommodations have been given to all faculty members. The Test Assistance Form provided by this office is to be used when an accommodation is needed for an exam.
