Accommodations

Providing appropriate accommodations to students with documented disabilities is a requirement of federal law. Using our sample policy verbatim is a safe and easy approach. Note that the sample includes the following points:

• Assurance for students with disabilities that you will work to provide appropriate accommodations.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities:

If you have a disability and require accommodations but do not already have them approved by the Office of Disability Resources, please apply for accommodations through the Application section of the  Disability Resources Online Portal. If you already have accommodations approved with Disability Resources, please use the Accommodations Management section of the Disability Resources Online Portal to notify me about your accommodations, and discuss your accommodations and needs with me as early in the semester as possible. I will work with you to ensure that accommodations are provided as appropriate.
