Information obtained is confidential and is used solely for the purpose of identifying appropriate support services. Information regarding a student's disability is only released with written permission of the student. Services must be requested by the student in writing each semester. Students must also identify themselves to their instructors to facilitate implementation of the identified classroom accommodations. Early and regular contact with Student Disability Services will help ensure the timely identification and provision of services and accommodations.
Assistance is tailored to the needs of the individual student.
Services will be designed in a manner intended to remove barriers which hinder learning and which allow maximum independence. Reasonable accommodations will be based on need, not desire. Services are intended to provide equal access and equal opportunity. The office will provide students with a detailed campus map that highlights accessible entrances to buildings and handicapped parking spaces, and will provide a personal campus orientation upon request. To aid students in securing appropriate services, the office provides instructors with written verification of a student's disability and recommendations for academic accommodations.
