The University of Tennessee is committed to ensuring that no person, on the basis of a disability, shall be excluded from participation in, be denied benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination in any program, activity, or facility of the University. Offices providing disability services are located on each of the University of Tennessee campuses. The office s primary objective is to provide services which give all individuals equal access to the academic, social, cultural, and recreational opportunities of the University. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Disability Services to assure that campus facilities and services are adequate to meet their needs.
Staff can be of service to students to the extent their individual needs are made known.
Only upon receipt of documentation will accommodations begin. Specific course information must be given to DS each semester. Each accommodation is determined on an individual basis. Other services, such as an alternative testing environment, oral exams, access to books on tape from Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic and the Arkenstone Reader, may be appropriate accommodations for students with learning disabilities. Accommodations will be determined after reviewing the student s documentation and the one intake interview.
