Services and Accommodations

Depending on the documentation submitted, accommodations for students with disabilities may include:

• Extended time on tests
• Testing in a private room
• Recording lectures
• Use of auxillary aids (calculator, laptop, spell checker, etc.)
• ASL interpreter
• Wheelchair accessible desks
• Wheelchair accessible shuttle service

Other accommodations can be provided on a case by case basis.

Please note that accommodations can only be provided if they do not fundamentally alter the course curriculum and/or course objectives.

It is strongly recommended that students NOT take a "wait and see" approach to providing documentation and establishing their eligibility for accommodations. It is best to have the accommodations in place at the beginning of the semester so that they are available for students to utilize quickly if needed. It is always the student's decision whether or not to use an accommodation, even after determined eligible.
