Faculty

Faculty Responsibilities

• Refer request for accommodations to the Office of Disability Services.
• Forward any documentation provided by students to the Office of Disability Services. (Or return to the student, shred, etc.—do not keep.)
• Announce at the beginning of the term: "Students who may need accommodation for a disability can make an appointment to see me during my office hours to discuss your needs." This approach preserves students' privacy and also indicates the willingness of the faculty member to provide assistance as needed.
• Confidentiality of all disability information is essential. At no time should the class be informed that a student has a disability, except at the student's expressed request. All disability documentation must be stored in the Office of Disability Services.
• Promptly return signed Alternative Test Agreement forms to the Disability Services office to assure efficient program coordination.
• Assertively recruit note takers after receiving notice from the Office of Disability Services.
• Contact Julie Snow, Office of Disability Services Director at #1819 with questions, concerns or clarification if needed.
