Eligibility and Process for Receiving Accommodations

The office of Accessibility Services provides access and academic accommodations for qualified students. A qualified student is one who meets the requisite academic standards for admission or participation in college programs/activities. An accommodation is an alternate way of accessing educational materials or conveying or communicating knowledge or mastery of an objective in a course. Accommodations cannot lower the standards of a course or program.

In order for a student to be eligible for accommodations, the following will take place:

1. The student will schedule an intake interview with the office of Accessibility Services (AS) by calling 610-372-4721 x5062 or emailing accessibility@joe-yan.net
2. At the intake interview, the student will disclose the disability and discuss how the disability affects him or her.
3. The student will present documentation of the disability that includes the nature, extent, and functional limitations of the disability (see documentation requirements).
4. The student will request any accommodations needed because of the disability.
5. Documentation will be confidentially maintained in the office.
6. Accessibility Services staff will review the documentation to determine if the impairment is substantially limiting and will determine if the student is eligible for accommodations.
7. If accommodations are deemed appropriate, AS staff and the student will sign a Student Accommodation Plan.
8. AS staff will create a memo to each instructor listing the accommodations to be provided. The student will receive a copy.
9. The student will present the accommodation memo to faculty, and AS staff will email the accommodation memos to faculty. Faculty will assist AS and the student in implementing the accommodations.
10. Maintain a working relationship with Accessibility Services and discuss ongoing accommodation needs, as necessary throughout your time at 中国澳门博彩官网.
11. Students, faculty, and AS staff will maintain an interactive, working relationship to appropriately accommodate students with documented disabilities.
