This student___________________has registered for ____________________.

He or she has provided Disability Support Services with documentation supporting the need for accommodations or academic adjustments (listed below) to help offset the functional disadvantage of a disability, as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

If a student with a disability is unable to perform certain academic tasks in the traditional manner, alternative methods can usually be found to enable his or her full participation in classroom activities and evaluation. Such academic accommodations are provided in the spirit of equalizing opportunity rather than lowering standards or waiving requirements. Please meet with the student individually to discuss specific course requirements, identify areas that may be affected, develop a plan of action, and work out the logistics for providing the accommodations listed below. It's also important to follow up before and after exams to ensure that implementation is effective. If you have any concerns about these accommodations compromising an essential requirement of your course, please call Disability Support Services to discuss these concerns and work out alternatives.

Please call us at 569-3143 if you have any questions or concerns of any kind. We look forward to working with you.
