The DSS staff can assist students in developing and applying effective learning strategies and self-advocacy skills. Students who understand their learning style, structure their time efficiently, communicate their needs assertively, and use effective study skills are usually more successful in their college courses. Support groups are offered throughout the year. DSS professional staff can also refer students to additional resources. The DSS office can assist students in obtaining items from the library or bookstore.
Students are responsible for scheduling in advance.
Classroom Furniture Students who require a table or special chair in a classroom may contact the DSS staff for assistance. If a student needs a service not described in this booklet, and it is within the bounds of reasonable accommodation, DSS will make every effort to provide that service. It is the student's responsibility to make his or her needs known to DSS and to provide appropriate documentation. IU does not provide personal attendants, individually prescribed devices, readers for personal use or study, or other personal devices or services. DSS staff can refer students to appropriate resources in the community.
