General Information for UAS Faculty
What if a student in my class needs accommodation?
Should a student in your class require an academic accommodation (e.g. extended testing time, note-taking assistance, etc) a notification letter typically hand-delivered by the student will be provided to you which identifies those accommodations. If a student approaches you requesting accommodations based on disability without a notification letter from this department, you are under no obligation to provide accommodations; 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 Mourant building. Phone # 796-6000.
