    Supporting Graduate Students with Disabilities

    The Graduate School and the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) are teaming up to share information about how faculty can support graduate students with disabilities. This session will discuss how CSD can be a resource for faculty, as well as students. We will also address the difference between accommodations and academic exceptions, the importance of ensuring all accommodations based on disabilities go through CSD, and when faculty can make exceptions on their own.
