How do I know that the accommodation requested by the student is appropriate and legitimate?
If you receive an instructor Letter, prepared by a specialist at Disabled Students Program, you can be assured that the student has provided the University with proof of a disability under the legal definition of the word. The student will only be allowed to request accommodations which have been deemed appropriate given the nature of the specific disability and its impact on the student. A student who males a claim to you regarding disability but has not submitted an instructor letter can be referred to Disabled Students Program to begin the application process to our program.
