STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

To receive classroom accommodations, students 
with documented disabilities must present a letter 
to the instructor indicating the appropriate accommodations.
 It is quite possible that on occasion a student, 
without a letter in hand, may approach an 
instructor about accommodations. If that should 
occur, the student will be directed to the Coordinator of 
Disability services. If accommodations are then
 determined to be appropriate, the student will
 be given a letter to present to the appropriate 
instructor that will allow them to implement the
 accommodations. It is never appropriate to ask 
the student about the specifics of their disability. 
 A student may voluntarily offer, however, information
 that may assist the instructor in how best to meet
 the specific needs of the student. As a civil rights
 statute, the Americans With Disabilities Act 
mandates faculty adhere to accommodations
 indicated in the letter. Occasionally implementations
 of an appropriate nature may be discussed with 
the student or reviewed by the Coordinator
 in the campus SAS office. 
For further information contact 
the Student Accessibilities Office at 330.337.4214
or consult University Policy 3342-3-01.3.
(NB: There may be times when
a student is not aware of above procedure 
because the University overlooked the fact
or other extenuating circumstance 
and has no note to that effect. Based on
the above, such accommodations may
be instituted at the instructor's discretion
awaiting arrival of official notification.)
