Academic Accommodations
Academic accommodations for disabilities are modifications of academic requirements designed to help and support students who have a disability and are registered with the Center for Accessibility Resources (CAR) to meet their academic obligations. Academic accommodations for disabilities include, but are not limited to, extension of time during tests/exams, rest breaks during tests/exams, stop-the-clock test taking, alternative test locations, etc., and will be handled in accordance with University policies and legal requirements. While academic accommodations for disabilities can modify essential requirements (adjustments to time, manner or place), accommodations cannot eliminate essential requirements of the educational program.
Students seeking academic accommodations for their disability must register with CAR and submit the required documentation. CAR consults with the Office of the Dean of Students as needed about the recommended academic accommodations for disabilities to ensure that they comport with essential requirements. While the academic deans can offer support for students and faculty, they are not involved in making decisions regarding appropriate academic accommodations for disabilities. Students who have concerns about their academic accommodations should consult with CAR.
Supportive Measures
Individuals who feel that they have experienced sexual misconduct are encouraged to work with Confidential Resources. Support resources are available to members of the College community regardless of where or when the misconduct occurred or who else was involved. The offices of the Dean of Students/Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Title IX Coordinator are available to discuss resources and supportive measures that may be helpful. Supportive measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the University's educational and working programs or activities without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties and the broader University community, or deter sexual misconduct.
Supportive measures may include:
The Title IX Coordinator oversees all complaints of sex discrimination and identifying and addressing any patterns or systemic problems that arise during the review of such complaints. The Title IX Coordinator is the central repository of Title IX knowledge on the campus, and is responsible for the design and implementation of education around Title IX for ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. If you need to report a sexual harassment/violence complaint, please reach out to:
