Faculty members should include the following statement in the course syllabus and ensure students are aware of it as they review the syllabus. This proactive approach demonstrates the faculty member’s willingness to support students with disabilities who may need accommodations:

In keeping with University policy, any student with a documented disability interested in utilizing ADA accommodations should contact Student Accessibility Services (SAS), the office of Disability Services on campus for students. SAS works with students and faculty in an interactive process to explore reasonable and appropriate accommodations, which are communicated to faculty in an accommodation letter. All students are strongly recommended to discuss with their faculty the accommodations they plan to use in each course. Faculty who receive Letters of Accommodation with Disability Related Flexible accommodations that go beyond the default accommodations will need to fill out the Disability Related Flexibility Agreement.  Any questions from faculty or students on the agreement should be directed to the SAS specialist who is indicated on the letter.
