At the beginning of each semester, students bring in their course syllabi for the semester along with their most recent transcript. This accommodation sheet is delivered by the student in person or through campus mail. Students are also advised to make personal contact with each instructor from whom they request accommodations. Our tutors are graduate students who are specifically trained to work with students with learning disabilities. Tutors are supervised by the Tutor Coordinator.
Students meet with tutors each week for regular scheduled appointments.
Due to high demand students are usually limited to one session per semester. The LDSS staff will also refer students to the many other tutoring resources on campus. In this way, advocates in various departments are identified and engaged in the lives of students with learning disabilities. The university is committed to making reasonable, effective, and appropriate accommodations to the needs of students with disabilities. LDSS is dedicated to helping students identify and obtain the appropriate accommodations to help them succeed at the university.
