Faculty Resources
Students with disabilities must be provided an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from all FHSU programs, services, and activities. Faculty may not enforce policies or practices that limit access or participation, such as prohibiting the use of approved assistive technology or restricting service animals. Because some disabilities are not visible, faculty should foster an inclusive environment in which students feel comfortable discussing their accommodation needs.
Faculty are encouraged to:
- Include FHSU's Syllabus Statement on Accessibility in the course syllabus.
- Communicate their willingness to support students with approved accommodations during the first class session.
- Consult Student Accessibility Services (SAS) if they believe a student who has not disclosed a disability may benefit from accommodations.
- Remember that accommodations are implemented only after a student completes the SAS process and provides an official accommodation letter.
- Become familiar with common academic accommodations and their implementation.
