Student Responsibilities
The student is responsible to register for services with Disability Resources and provide documentation of the disability.
Identify yourself to your instructors
It is the responsibility of the student to identify him/herself to the instructor that he/she has a disability and to discuss the necessary accommodations. It is also the responsibility of the student to obtain the INSTRUCTOR NOTIFICATION FORM from Disability Resources to take to the instructor and to give timely notification of disability and his/her need for accommodation.
The form will help the student and the instructor discuss methods that will make the course fully accessible for the learning style of the student. Asking for test accommodations one day or less from the exam is not reasonable notification by the student to the instructor.
After disability accommodations have been given to the student, the student should strive to be successful in the coursework as enrolled.
Students are encouraged to utilize the following success strategies
- Regular and punctual attendance of classes
- Consistent and effective study habits
- Read the textbook and other necessary material
- Take good notes
- Do all homework assignments
- Consult with the instructor when there are questions
- Commit to college as a serious goal and objective
- Interview instructors before enrolling in courses
Communicating with fellow students
The student should communicate with fellow students whenever possible to contribute to the class interaction. Peer interaction is an important aspect of learning. It is also important that the class begin to understand that students with disabilities have the same concerns and problems as their peers.

It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for special testing accommodations by going to Disability Resources and completing a REQUEST FOR TEST ACCOMMODATIONS FORM. The form must be submitted at least two (2) days before the test is to be taken.
