[Students] Student Disability Resources and Services moving date

[Joan Lawrence]

The office of Student Disability Resources and Services (SDRS) is
excited to announce that we will be officially moving to the Gee Library
room 132 next week.  Therefore, our office will be closed Tuesday,
August 19th through Thursday, August 21st.  If you need our assistance
next week, you may contact us through phone or email to set up an
appointment for Monday, August 18th or Friday, August 22nd.  We
apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.  We are
hoping to be completely moved and settled in starting Monday, August
25th.  

 

Also, the website for SDRS has now been launched on the Texas A&M
University-Commerce website:
http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/deanstudents/sdrs/

Please visit this site for important information and up to date
procedures as well as forms and helpful links.

 

 

If you have not already done so, please read this information that was
sent to the student list serve on 8/12/08.

 

  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. If I have already met with you
concerning this, please remember to submit student note taker service
agreement form ASAP and also please remind your note taker to submit
green form to SDRS in order to receive credit for services.
