Undergraduate Disability Accommodation Procedures

Student disability accommodations are authorized through Disability Services. An official accommodation form is used to inform professors that a student has an approved accommodation. Professors suspecting that a student has a disability or needs other accommodations are encouraged to refer students to Disability Services.

Authorization of the right to receive accommodations:

• Students must meet with the Director or Special Needs Counselor in Disability Services, Monroe 405.
• Students must provide valid disability documentation. The documentation must be approved by Disability Services.
• Students wishing to receive test or other class accommodations must get signed Accommodation Forms from Disability Services to present to each professor.
• Students must return a copy of each Accommodation Form with the course instructor’s signature to Disability Services.

Students wishing to take exams in our office must adhere to the following procedures:

• Students are responsible for notifying/reminding professors and making exam delivery arrangements at least 48 hours before the regularly scheduled time of the exam.
• Students must notify Disability Services and provide information about exam delivery/pick-up at least 24 hours before the regularly scheduled time of the exam.
• Students must take exams at the regularly scheduled class time. Disability Services needs explicit permission from the professor to administer a test outside of the regularly scheduled time for the test.

Disability Services provides secure administration of exams in our office and secure pick-up and return of exams taken under our auspices. Please notify us if you have any concerns or questions about these procedures.

Any questions should be addressed to the Director of Disability Services, Sarah Mead Smith, or the Special Needs Counselor, Kacey McNally. We can be reached by phone at 865-2990 or by e-mail at enrich@loyno.edu.
