Timely Topics Series
Timely Topics is a series of opportunities to engage with subject matter experts on topics relevant to those who support and advise graduate students and programs. Every session is available to all UConn faculty and staff. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming session:
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.
