More on the disabilities policy (not to be included in the syllabus)

You may receive a letter from the Disabilities Service Coordinator, a division of the Collegiate Support and Counseling service (CSC), Sullivan Hall, East. In that letter, there will be listed a number of accommodations for the particular student with disabilities enrolled in your class:

• The student must be allowed to have a note taker in the class. The student will be responsible for getting the assistance (with help from the CSC).
• The student must be granted extra time to take an examination. You need to discuss this with the student and determine how much time may be needed. If the time is excessive, you may suggest to the student that the exam be taken as described below.
• The student may need to take an exam in the Alternate Test Area in Sullivan Hall. Proctoring service will be provided by the staff there. The instructor must supply the exam and any exam requirements and limitations to the staff at the testing center. The completed exam may either be picked up by the instructor or it can be mailed to the instructor. The service provided by the CSC is for students with disabilities only. Other students must arrange their own proctoring needs.
