The student with a disability must be in class in order to receive notes from their note taker. Note takers will leave class if a student is more than 10 minutes late for class. If the student misses class, it is not the responsibility of the note taker to get your notes. The student will be required to speak with the instructor in order to make up any missed work.

 

 

Only students who have a documented need are able to tape record lectures. Please see the office of student services in order to secure a tape recorder and sign it out for your class.

 

 

Tests must be taken during normal business hours. Tests must be scheduled with the office of student services in advance so that a testing room can be reserved. All tests must be turned in and completed by the close of business.

 

 

Owner of the service animal must have a documented need for the animal on file with the ADA Student Coordinator in the Office of Student Services. The documentation must clearly state that the student needs to have the animal in order to attend class. The student who has the service animal is responsible for its care and well being and will be held responsible for any damage done by the animal.

 

 

Prior to the beginning of each semester, students who have documented disabilities on file will be given the opportunity to register for classes early. This will allow the student time to meet with an advisor and schedule appropriate classes. It will also be an opportunity to review and update any needed accommodation requests.

 

 

Interpreters for hard of hearing and deaf students are hired each semester based on need. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the ADA Student Coordinator in the Office of Student Services in order to make sure an interpreter can be available for their scheduled classes.

 

 

If a student has been diagnosed with a specific learning disability, an appropriate course substitution may be needed. The student and the ADA Student Coordinator will meet in order to discuss the need for a course substitution. The ADA Student Coordinator will compile the necessary documentation in letter form and submit this to the appropriate dean for determination.
