Student Rights

Students with disabilities have the right to:

  • Have the information about their disabilities remain confidential, unless a “need to know” situation arises.
  • Participate in programs and classes for which they are qualified, with appropriate accommodations/access services.
  • Be treated equally with other students regarding grades and class participation.
  • Receive accommodations in a timely manner, upon completion of the accommodation request form each semester.

Student Responsibilities

Students with disabilities must:

  • Meet with the Accessibility Services Coordinator (ASC) following the completion and submission of the Accommodation Application (Academic/or None-Academic) and provide documentation as requested.
  • Complete the Continuing Services form (Academic and/or Non-Academic) each semester and notify ASC of the need for accommodations. Accommodations are not retroactive and will not begin until the letter of accommodation has been delivered.
  • Follow the Code of Conduct.
  • Meet course/program requirements.
  • Assume responsibility for using or not using accommodations.
  • Notify the ASC immediately if accommodations are not met or problems arise in class.
