草榴社区

草榴社区 strives to provide an environment for personal and intellectual growth of all its students, and also complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In order to meet these commitments, 草榴社区 offers educational opportunities and reasonable academic accommodations for the needs of qualified students with disabilities. The standards for academic credit should not be modified for students with disabilities. Students with disabilities have fulfilled the same entrance requirements, have the same range of backgrounds and experiences as other students at 草榴社区, and should be fully capable of meeting 草榴社区's standards. The University's goal is to provide access and reasonable accommodations in helping the students achieve those expectations.

Important Information for Faculty

Students who have not registered with LSS or ODS will sometimes approach professors to ask for accommodations. These students should be referred to LSS or ODS, so that appropriate accommodations can be worked out in conjunction with LSS. Instructors should not make special accommodations for students who have not registered with LSS or ODS.

Please refer to our guidelines on creating a Syllabus Statement and our suggestions for how to Work with Students with Disabilities. Visit the Faculty Section on the LSS webpage or contact the LSS office with any questions or concerns at 610-519-5176.
