Based on communication from the University, the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) will continue to collaborate with faculty and students remotely for the Fall 2020 semester.
The CSD will continue to engage in an interactive, case-by-case, class-by-class process with you and your student regarding the coordination of accommodations, including testing accommodations. Should a student have an extraordinary circumstance based on their disability that would prevent them from accessing an assessment if it is not administered by the CSD, please have the student contact the CSD to discuss those disability-related, extraordinary circumstances.
Instructors should plan to administer their assessments with approved accommodations for students with disabilities along with the rest of the class.
CSD’s Accommodation team will be available for virtual drop in hours on Tuesdays from 9am - 11am and Wednesdays from 1pm – 2pm beginning Tuesday, August 25 through the month of September to discuss with faculty the coordination of testing accommodations. Faculty virtual drop in sessions can be joined at:
