Does the Department of Communicative Disorders have a policy regarding accommodations for individual diversity?
The Department of Communicative Disorders, in keeping with the 2008 Standards for Accreditation, recognizes the necessity of providing reasonable adaptations in curriculum, policies, and procedures to accommodate individual differences among students that may arise from cultural, linguistic, and other diversity. The department follows the policies of the URI Graduate School with regard to English proficiency where specific criteria must be met. All other diversity issues are handled by a student’s faculty advisor in consultation with the department chairperson, other departmental faculty, and personnel from the Disability Services for Students in the Office of Student Life, Division of Student Affairs.
