[Students] Student Disability Resources and Services

[Joan Lawrence]

If you are registered with the office of Student Disability Resources
and Services (SDRS) and will be needing accommodations this fall, please
remember to contact our office for accommodation letters.  It will be
your responsibility to pick up the letters and deliver them to your
instructors.  Please remember accommodations are not retroactive, so
they will start when you deliver the letter to your instructor.

 

*         You must contact SDRS every semester that you are enrolled in
order to receive accommodation letters.  

*         If you need alternate textbooks, you must first purchase the
textbook and also fill out a request form through our office in order to
receive a copy of the text in alternate format.  Please note it does
take time to get textbooks converted, so please submit request form at
least 4 weeks in advance.  

*         If you are requesting an interpreter, you must contact our
office 4-6 weeks prior to the date needed and also fill out a request
form.

*         In order to take exams/tests in SDRS you must sign up (stop by
or email) at least five days in advance of the test date to reserve a
space/time.  You must also sign a testing agreement form which outlines
all rules that must be followed when testing in SDRS.  

*         If you have been approved for a note taker, you must contact
our office to set up an appointment.  The procedure for note takers has
changed and you will be using a note taker out of the class you need one
for.  There is an informational/step by step packet for you as well as
one you need to give to your note taker.

 

We are hoping to be moved to the first floor of the Gee library in the
next month in order to improve accessibility to our office.  We will
notify you when the move has taken place.  In addition, we are waiting
for our new website to be launched, so be on the lookout.  It will
contain important information as well as forms.  Finally, please note
several updated procedures have taken place, so please feel free to
contact our office with any questions or concerns.
