Requesting Accommodation
Timeline 
The request for accommodation and the provision of the accommodation must be appropriate and timely. The Accessibility Support Services office will address requests for accommodations in a timely manner, but the institution cannot guarantee the availability of appropriate accommodations without ample lead time to make preparations and/or investigate resources.

For specialized services, such as sign language interpreting and/or captioning, the request must be made via telephone, e-mail, or in person, at least 90 days in advance of date of service. The Accessibility Support Services office requires four to six weeks advance notice to process textbooks in an alternate format.

Access to Accommodations
Accommodation might include: class notes, preferential seating, enlarging of printed text, removal of physical barriers. To learn more, contact Accessibility Support.

Documentation Guidelines
冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Accessibility Support Services looks to the Association for Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) for direction regarding disability eligibility. This includes who is entitled to accommodations, how those determinations are made, and by whom. The AHEAD guidance interprets the Amendments to the ADA, with the stated purpose "to make it easier for people with disabilities to obtain protection under the ADA."

Documentation to support a request for classroom accommodations may take a variety of forms, formal and informal. It is part of an interactive, deliberative process to gather evidence to establish disability and identify barriers to learning with connection to the disability. It may include, but not be limited to, student self-report, history of having used accommodations, observation and interaction with Accessibility Support Services professionals and records from medical and educational professionals.

Federal legislation acknowledges that post-secondary institutions may request a reasonable level of documentation to support specific accommodation requests without requiring extensive evidence from medical/psychological professionals. The goal of documentation is to support a student's request for a specific accommodation in cases where other attempts to find evidence of disability fails to show connection between disability and the accommodation.

Process for Requesting Accessibility Support Services
  1. Complete and submit Request for Services.
  2. Submit quality documentation. This documentation will assist staff in determining eligibility and appropriate accommodations and/or services. Information shared from personal experiences will help with eligibility and accommodation determination decisions. It is most helpful if documentation is current enough to explain how the condition(s) affects a student now, especially in light of anticipated needs for assistance to accommodate.
  3. The Request for Services and documentation will be reviewed as soon as possible after received. Email and/or mail notification will be sent concerning the need for additional information. 
  4. Students will be contacted in order to schedule an appointment with Accessibility Support Services to explore and determine access.
  5. Students utilizing accommodation services must observe the same college policies and academic regulations required of all students.

Accessibility Support Services agrees to keep information and records concerning the student's disability confidential in compliance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), North Dakota state statutes and the professional and ethical standards of the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD).

International students are automatically enrolled by semester in the student health insurance plan by their institution. A student may opt-in to NDUS health insurance coverage prior to automatic enrollment to expedite confirmation of coverage. The premium cost is billed to the international student's campus connection account. If an international student wants to waive this health insurance coverage, comparable coverage must be in place and verified through the waiver process.

Suggested Syllabi Language
Suggested Course Syllabi Language
Do you have an example of a "welcoming and inclusive" statement that I can put in my course syllabus?
We have used the following statement on course syllabi. Feel free to copy and/or edit this statement to best fit your needs:
Because this class requires us to talk about aspects of our lives and those around us, a high level of respect for yourself and others is required. The use of discriminatory words and terms will not be allowed within this classroom. As students you are expected to have an open mind in this class and to expand your perspectives of the world around you. Remember to keep your sense of humor as there may be cases of disagreement and sensitive topics. Listen respectfully to one another and reserve judgment. Anyone who is unwilling to follow these guidelines will be asked to leave the class.
This course deals with subjects that many people find sensitive and highly charged.  Some of the readings contain strong language and graphic descriptions of violence and sexual situations, and some of the authors take political stances with which you might personally disagree.  Please keep an open mind both to the readings and to the views of your classmates with whom you might have differences.  Please remember that in a university classroom, you must be able to differentiate between emotions and personal opinions on the one hand, and reasoned analysis of the course material on the other.
