Expectations for Students Receiving Accommodations


  • Following the initial meeting, a pdf of the accommodations letter will be emailed to both instructor/s, student, and Testing Center (if applicable) by Support Services. Students are encouraged to discuss the letter with the instructor.
    • Note: Support Services does not supply accommodations for certification exams (i.e., NCLEX, GED, HiSET, etc.). You must request accommodations through the providers of those tests.
  • Students should maintain ongoing communication with their instructors and the disability services office to ensure that accommodations are being properly implemented. If issues arise, they should promptly address them with the instructor or seek assistance from the disability services office.
  • The student will notify Support Services if there are any changes to the schedule that require a new letter to be written.
  • To revise accommodations, make an appointment to meet with Support Services staff in person or virtually.
  • Accommodations are not retroactive. Students cannot expect instructors to redo previous assignments or tests with accommodations.
  • Curriculum students must request letters after they register for classes each semester to receive the necessary accommodations.
    Dept. of Transitional Studies students must request letters at least once per academic year to receive the necessary accommodations.
    Continuing Education students must request letters after they register for any classes to receive the necessary accommodations.
