Students MUST register with the Access Office for access to accommodations and assistive technologies. The Access Office cannot reach out to students who may need such accommodations. It is the responsibility of the student to register.
There may be times when the design of a class presents a barrier to access. In the event that a student anticipates or experiences a barrier, he or she may request a Faculty Letter be sent to the instructor with instructions on how to remove the barrier. For example, if a time limit creates a barrier for a student with a disability, the student may request extended testing time by submitting the form below.
It may be necessary for a student to attend class to get information about course design to determine if any barriers to access exist. Once a student is aware of any barriers in the classroom environment, they should notify the Access Office team as soon as possible. Faculty Letters can be requested at any time during the semester, but students should be aware that 1.) Faculty may need some time to implement the methods listed, and 2.) Requests will not be retroactive.
Please note that all requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Most requests for Faculty Letters take less than 2 business days to complete; however, some requests take additional time to process (e.g., scheduling a sign language interpreter). Other requests may require additional information about essential course functions to determine an appropriate resolution. Students are welcome to contact the Access Office at any time during the process to determine the status of the request. Students should contact the Access Office immediately if there has been no contact (receipt of a Faculty Letter or some indication that the request is in process) within 10 business days.
Faculty Letters are sent via 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 email to both the Instructor and the student to facilitate communication. If a student encounters any difficulty with the implementation of any method of instruction or assessment included in the Faculty Letter, they should notify a member of the Access Office team immediately so that efforts can be made to intervene as needed. There may be times when a method listed in a Faculty Letter interferes with an essential function of a course, test, or assignment. For example, if “use of dictionary” is approved initially, but the course uses a vocabulary test to assess learning, then the use of a dictionary is no longer a reasonable accommodation. In the rare event that the Access Office is notified of such a conflict by an Instructor, the Faculty Letter will be amended and resent to both the Instructor and the student.
