If you have a disability that could affect your performance in any class or that requires an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, please contact your instructor or Student Disability Services at 487-3558 as soon as possible so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Any student requiring accommodations due to a documented disability must provide the instructor of the course notification of needed accommodations no later than five business days prior to the use of the accommodations.

Students who have an accommodation for extended time allowed on tests shall not be required to spend more than six hours per calendar day in final examinations.
