Informing Your Faculty
Memo of Accommodation
The student will be asked to sign a consent form allowing the director to create a confidential memo of accommodation, which the student will deliver to the faculty member.
Talking with Faculty
When a student delivers a memo of accommodation to a faculty member, there is an opportunity for meaningful conversation. This conversation might include:
- An overview of the accommodations listed and ideas on how these accommodations can be implemented.
- A request for more detailed information on the course format, including exams and assignments.
- More detailed information on the ways in which their disability impacts academics possibly including learning style, strengths and weaknesses.
- Make clear that they are serious, motivated students who will succeed in class as long as reasonable accommodations are made for their specific needs.
- *If a student encounters an unsatisfactory situation or is uncomfortable in making initial contact with faculty, they should contact the Director of Disability Services for assistance. Please note students must request accommodations each semester. Students who are registered with Disability Services will receive an email reminder, sent to their Assumption.edu email account at the start of each semester.
