Faculty Resources - Advising Students with Disabilities |
| |
Students with disabilities are assigned an academic advisor the same way all other university students are. Each student with a disability is required to meet with the DSS Office after registering for the semester in order to determine accommodations for the semester. Advisors may also refer the student to the DSS Office prior to enrollment for consultation. Advisors are encouraged to contact the DSS Office for any information that is pertinent to the advising process.
If the student informs the advisor of a disability, the advisor should encourage the student to contact the DSS Office, if the student has not already done so; however, the advisor may notify the office. The DSS Office will encourage students to inform advisors of their disability and will send pertinent information to the advisor. If students are unable to participate in the regular registration procedure the DSS Office will make arrangements with the Registrar for these students. The DSS Office will also assist students who require accessible classrooms or special furniture/equipment.
Concerns that the student and advisor might discuss include a reduced class-load, special scheduling of classes in order to get from one area of the campus to another, and scheduling classes at times of the day which take into account the student's physical needs (e.g., fatigue, medical schedule, and meals). |
