Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

The University is legally obligated to provide appropriate accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Students who seek special accommodations due to disabilities must first set up an appointment with Dr. Jo Ann Hutchinson or her staff at the Disability Support Services (DSS) in the Counseling Center, 314-7682. Students should download the DSS registration forms and bring appropriate documentation to the DSS office (Shoemaker 0126) prior to the meeting

The DSS representative will make a determination of the appropriate accommodations and provide an accommodation form to distribute to instructors. Faculty should request that students both present these forms at the beginning of the semester and make an appointment to discuss the arrangements. When the arrangements involve modifications of testing procedures, students will present a test authorization form which instructors are to complete and hand deliver along with the test to 0106 Shoemaker. This material can also be faxed to 301-314-9478.
