What types of accommodations are professors required to make?
Professors will receive an ODS letter of accommodation from the student at the beginning of each semester informing them of the students disability and what accommodations have been approved for them. Faculty are encouraged to speak to the student about these accommodations and, at any time, are encouraged to speak to a disability counselor if they believe the requested accommodations fundamentally alter what is being taught and measured in the classroom. Am I required to alter my test format (ex. number of multiple choice questions, essays, short answer, etc) or course standards for a student with a disability? Do I have to alter my attendance policy for students whose disabilities affect attendance? Students with disabilities are expected to be evaluated in the same manner as students without disabilities. ODS can provide accommodations to make exams accessible to students with disabilities. In addition students with disabilities are expected to fulfill all of the course requirements
