Assisting students does not mean lowering standards and expectations. A grade should reflect the student's academic performance with due allowance for adjustments. Often the student with the disability can be your best resource. Your campus office that provides services to students with disabilities is an excellent resource. Review your institution's emergency procedures so that you respond appropriately when assisting students with disabilities during an emergency.
All students are ultimately responsible for their own academic achievement.
Each student must be responsible for class attendance, assignments, and all other course materials. It is up to the individual student to seek outside help and to utilize agreed upon classroom adjustments. One Dupont Circle, Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 200231193.
