Disability Services

If a student discloses a disability, provides documentation, and requests accommodations from me, do they need to register with your office?

All accommodations and documentation must go through DS. When a student discloses a disability, refer them to DS to complete the registration process and await Academic Accommodation Letters from them with approved accommodations.

A student has asked for disability-related accommodations beyond what is listed on their Faculty Contact Sheet. What should I do?

Professors should only follow accommodations as listed on the student’s Academic Accommodation Letter. Should the request be outside of the approved accommodations, refer the student to DS.

I suspect a student in my class may have a disability, but they have not provided me with a Faculty Contact Sheet. What should I do?

If a professor suspects a student may benefit from our services, walk them through campus support services. Be cautious to not make assumptions or diagnose students and include the DS statement in your course syllabi.

Who do I contact for Deaf/Hard of Hearing services?
