If a student gives me a letter from Disabled Student Resources identifying approved accommodations, what is my responsibility as an instructor?

0

First, an instructor is to read the letter to determine what the approved accommodation requires. Is it approving the student for extended time on tests, a note taker, and interpreter, special seating, etc. Second, if the instructor has any questions about how to implement the accommodation or how the accommodation may affect or impact the purpose/nature of the class, the instructor is to contact the DSR specialist immediately to obtain guidance or have questions answered. Third, an instructor is not able to deny an approved accommodation; discussion must take place with DSR and the area Dean.
