残疾人士无障碍服务 emails Academic Access Letters at the start of each semester, or at the time a student has requested such communication. 这些电子邮件是通过Maxient(一个软件程序)发送的。, and the Academic Access Letter is attached as a PDF to that email.

指导学生联系DAS. If you have not been emailed an accommodation letter from DAS, then the student has most likely not registered with our office to received approved accommodations. If a student is currently receiving accommodations in your course, you have the freedom to offer additional accommodations to the student, but please consider cc’ing DAS on such agreements in order that we have record of when additional accommodations are granted.

Additional accommodations should in no way change the course’s goals or alter the academic requirements.

Students are instructed to follow up with professors if they intend on using the accommodations in that class. Some classes are already accessible, in which case a student may not request accommodations. When a notetaker is requested, DAS will email professors a recruitment statement to post for class. 当需要可访问媒体时, instructors are responsible for sending materials to DAS to be converted into accessible formats.

还记得, you may not ask a student what their disability is; however, students may voluntarily disclose their disability to you, DAS支持和鼓励哪些.

Information from a student’s documentation helps guide DAS in determining reasonable accommodations. 住宿 are meant to provide equal access; they do not guarantee success or necessarily fit a student’s preferred learning style.

Students often experience a temporary medical condition, such as an injury, surgery, or illness. 通常, these do not qualify students for ADA accommodations since they are not permanent disabilities; however, DAS recognizes that temporary medical conditions still impact a student’s learning experience. Professors and students can work together to make academic arrangements, 或者教授可以将学生推荐给DAS, where we will help them come up with a communication plan.

住宿 are modifications to the ways in which things are usually done. The purpose of effective accommodations is to provide students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate and benefit from college.

The following are examples of the most common accommodations that permit a student with a disability to effectively participate in the educational process:

• Changes to a classroom environment or task: extended time for an exam, isolated testing location;
• Removal of architectural barriers: adapting a classroom to meet the needs of a student who uses a wheelchair;
• 政策的例外情况, practices or procedures: priority registration or accessing assignments early;
• Provision of auxiliary aids and services: providing a sign language interpreter, 或者提供一个记录员或抄写员.

• The educational standards or mission of Concordia University would be substantially altered;
• The nature of the course, 程序, service or activity would be fundamentally altered;
• The student is not otherwise qualified (with or without accommodations) to meet the academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in an education course, 程序, 服务或活动;

When reasonableness clearly exists, instructors must coordinate the appropriate accommodation. 当存在合理性问题时, instructors should consult with DAS about how to best address the situation: (电子邮件保护), 949-214-3039.
