Disability Services Overview
The 澳门新葡京博彩区 (ACD) is committed to providing a learning environment that is equal to all students. In an effort to accomplish this goal, ACD complies with all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act 和 第504节 of the Rehabilitation Act. All students will receive a discrimination-free education with all services provided to ensure an equal opportunity for higher education. This section defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities or an individual, a record of such an impairment, 和 is regarded as having such an impairment. If you would like to establish 和/or renew services, please follow the information below.
To request accommodations for the first time, students with DSS self- identify by completing the online application form. You can upload copies of your documentation as part of filling out the form. If you do not have an electronic copy of your documentation, you can skip that section 和 submit the form without it. You may bring paper copies of your documentation to the DSS office for scanning, or you can email or fax the documentation to DSS.
When DSS has received 和 processed your application, you will be contacted by phone 安排预约. If DSS is not able to reach you by phone, we will send an email to your student alamo.Edu电子邮件帐户. DSS appointments are conducted through Zoom 和 In-Person appointments.
Each student will be provided with the accommodations best suited for them. This is based on their supporting documentation 和 diagnosis. An example of possible accommodations we provide is extra time on assignments, double time on exams 和 quizzes, testing in a quiet location, 等.
Once approved for accommodations, the student 和 professor will be emailed a copy of the letter. The professor will be able to access the letter on their end. The student is responsible for reaching out to their professor 和 confirming that they have received the letter of accommodation. This will allow for communication on how the accommodation will be utilized during the course.
There are differences in the accommodations we can provide for in-person courses versus online. We can provide accommodation for both options 和 this can be further discussed during the intake meeting with the student.
