Communication With Faculty

Communication with Faculty

During the first two weeks of school, after being approved for accommodations by the Office of Student Disability Services, students should make appointments to discuss their accommodations with their instructors.  They should avoid waiting until there is a crisis.  Upon approaching faculty members, student should consider these recommendations:

Make an appointment during instructor’s office hours.  Explain to the instructor your affiliation with the Office of Student Disability Services
Make it clear that you are a serious and motivated student.  When appropriate, discuss what has worked in the past
Understand and be able to articulate needs in relation to the specific accommodations
Initiate discussions on any other disability-related concerns that may not be accommodations per se, but need to be brought to the attention of an instructor early in the semester, such as elevator break downs, responding to emergencies or attendance issues.
Discuss other concerns/considerations besides the accommodations.

Be assertive-not aggressive and remain calm and courteous.  If there is a disagreement, or the instructor has indicated an unwillingness to provide authorized accommodations, immediately make an appointment with the Office of Student Disability Services staff to obtain assistance.
