General Information for UAS Faculty

 

What if a student in my class needs accomodation? 

Should a student in your class require an academic accomodation (e.g. extended testing time, notetaking assistance, etc) a notification letter typically hand-delivered by the student will be provided to you which identifies those accomodations.  If a student approaches you requesting accomodations based on disability without a notoficiation letter from this department, you are under no obligation to provide accomodations; however please refer the student to DSS

Please Use a Syllabus Statement

To inform students of this department, it is recommended that the following be included in your first class session announcements and on your syllabus:

If you experience a disability and would like information about support services, please contact Disability Support Services, located at the Student Resource Center in the Novatney building.   Phone # 796-6000.

  Including a link  or URL address to the Disability Support Services homepage is also recommended.

Additional Information

Disability Support Services serves as a resource for questions regarding academic accomodations including those relating to technology, and other disability issues.  If you have any questions or concerns about serving students with disabilities or would like more information on a specific disability related issue please contact our office at 796-6000 or email us at dss@uas.alaska.edu
