Student Responsibilities in the Accommodation Process

Accessible Learning Services shares some best practices considerations:

  • Accessible Learning Services (ALS) Best Practice Considerations posted in the Communiqué focus on equipping faculty to better support students with disabilities. To every extent possible, ALS encourages students to be actively involved in the accommodation process. 

  • For example, students with disabilities connected with ALS are responsible for renewing their Accommodation Letter each semester.  

  • Students are required to contact faculty to request accommodations in advance of a test and/or in advance of an assignment due date to request an extension. 

  • We encourage faculty to actively dialogue with students regarding accommodation requests. 

Visit our ALS Information for Faculty website to learn more about accommodating students with disabilities.
