It is the student's responsibility to request accommodations
each term. To request academic accommodations, students are required
to complete a series of steps, before or at the beginning of each
term. Students registered with the CEA may request accommodations
at any point during the term, but accommodations are only granted
from the date faculty are notified by the student with an official
Accommodation letter from the CEA. For instance, a student may take
the first exam in a particular class without using accommodations
for which the student is eligible. The student may decide to activate
accommodations for the second exam. Thus, the student would receive
accommodations from the second exam forward. Furthermore, students
have an obligation to inform the University in a timely manner of
accommodation request. Students who fail to give sufficient notice
of accommodation requests may not receive accommodations.
Student obligations with accommodations requests are as follows:
- Meet with a CEA staff member to discuss accommodations requests.
- Complete an Accommodation Request Form.
- CEA will prepare an Accommodation Letter to the instructor of
each course for which accommodations are requested.
- Deliver an Accommodation Letter to the instructor of each course
for which accommodations are requested.
- Discuss how accommodations will be implemented with the instructor
of the course. CEA is available to offer suggestions to the student
and faculty member.
- Remind the instructor of exam accommodations at least one week
before scheduled exams.
- Report any problems with accommodations implementation to the
CEA.
Students are required to deliver and discuss Accommodation letters
with faculty before accommodations will be implemented. Instructors
are not obligated to provide accommodations until such time they are
notified by official hand delivered letters to do so. Also, accommodations
are not retroactive. In other words, faculty are not obligated to
accommodate prior exams, assignments, or any course related activity
before an Accommodation Letter is delivered and discussed.
Students are entitled to appeal accommodations decisions of CEA,
Faculty or other University entities. Please refer to 504/ADA
Grievance Process for Students.
