Eligible for Reasonable Accommodations

Student taking notes in a notebook

Faculty need to be prepared to make adaptations, or what we call reasonable accommodations, to instructional practices so that students with disabilities can do the same things that other college students are required to do.  This may mean making changes in the delivery of some course materials and assessment of knowledge.

Each student must provide evidence of the need for each accommodation.  For example, note-takers are provided only if there is a documented impairment that limits the student's ability to take notes.
