Suggestions for Students
- Some accommodations require extra time to set up, so it is imperative to self-identify and request accommodations as soon as possible.
- Attend classes and follow instructions provided in the class syllabus concerning absences, emergency needs, or other information specific to class.
- Discuss with instructor ahead of time the possibility of any absences.
- Contact other outside agencies for possible eligibility in additional services.
- Arrange for personal attendants if needed, whether paid for by an agency or family (colleges are not required under ADA to provide personal attendants, tutors, or personal items such as hearing aids, prostheses, individually designed and fitted special extensions or wands for computer or other resource operation).
- Students with disabilities should process their own college business transactions such as registration, drop/add, refunds, etc.
- Keep in touch with Disability Services on your campus at the beginning of every semester and anytime during the semester. We want to know how students are doing and how we can help.
- Adhere to the college’s Code of Conduct.
