Depending on the nature of the disability and the accommodations requested, the amount of advance notice provided may impact the University's ability to provide accommodations. Delays in presenting requests or providing documentation will affect promptness in arranging accommodations. Upon completion of the Request for Accommodation form, letters will be sent to the faculty specified by the student. Letters will be sent within 3 to 5 days to the department mailbox for each faculty member specified or students can personally deliver the letters. Letters will describe how the student's disability may impact classroom performance and list specific accommodations within the classroom.
Confidentiality is emphasized .
This would be an ideal opportunity to meet privately and discuss specific accommodations relative to course procedures and expectations. Students that prefer their letters be mailed to faculty will need to schedule a follow-up meeting with each faculty member to discuss accommodations. This is essential to establish communication with professors at the start of the semester. Arrangements need to be made in advance for all accommodations, but especially for extended test time. This cannot wait until the day of the test.
