Accommodations

Student Accessibility Services will send out "Accommodation Letters" to faculty after the Add/Drop period has ended each semester. These letters will include information on what accommodations a student will expect to receive in class for the semester. However, it is the student's responsibility to discuss accommodations and accommodation logistics with faculty. If faculty members have questions about implementing accommodations, the SAS office welcomes contact by [[sas]] or by calling 757-221-2512.
