Disabled Student Services works to meet the needs of the students with documented disabilities by providing academic accomodations and related services. Staff will work as a liaison with students' instructors. Writing assistance and study skills instruction may be of special interest to students with learning disabilities.
Academic accommodations provided to students include readers, materials in large print, and note takers. Test taking accommodations, including extended time for test taking, oral examinations and scribes, can be arranged through this office. Assistance is provided in obtaining taped texts. Classes scheduled in inaccessible locations will be relocated for students with mobility impairments upon request. Priority enrollment is available to qualified students. Efforts will be made to provide interpreters for students with hearing impairments, upon request. Tutorial assistance is available to all students for some classes.
An Assistive Technology Center located in Hale Library, Microforms and Periodicals, includes a computer equipped with enlarging software, an Arkenstone reading machine, a CCTV, and voice recognition software. Special equipment available for use by students includes FM listening systems, a talking calculator, and TTY (telephone for the hearing impaired). A shuttle van, equipped with a hydraulic lift, operates on campus between all buildings. Transportation is available to students with either a temporary or permanent physical disability.
