Faculty and Staff Resources

残障人士服务中心在每学期开始时会通过电子邮件发送学术录取通知书, 或者在学生要求这种交流的时候. 这些电子邮件是通过Maxient(一个软件程序)发送的。, 学术访问信以PDF格式附在邮件中.

Direct the student to contact DAS. 如果你还没有收到DAS的住宿信, then the student has most likely not registered with our office to received approved accommodations. 如果学生目前在你的课程中接受住宿, 你可以自由地为学生提供额外的住宿, but please consider cc’ing DAS on such agreements in order that we have record of when additional accommodations are granted.

Additional accommodations should in no way change the course’s goals or alter the academic requirements.

Students are instructed to follow up with professors if they intend on using the accommodations in that class. Some classes are already accessible, in which case a student may not request accommodations. When a notetaker is requested, DAS will email professors a recruitment statement to post for class. When accessible media is needed, instructors are responsible for sending materials to DAS to be converted into accessible formats.

Remember, you may not ask a student what their disability is; however, 学生可以自愿向你透露他们的残疾, which DAS supports and encourages.

Information from a student’s documentation helps guide DAS in determining reasonable accommodations. Accommodations are meant to provide equal access; they do not guarantee success or necessarily fit a student’s preferred learning style.

Students often experience a temporary medical condition, such as an injury, surgery, or illness. Typically, these do not qualify students for ADA accommodations since they are not permanent disabilities; however, DAS recognizes that temporary medical conditions still impact a student’s learning experience. 教授和学生可以共同制定学术安排, OR professors can refer students to DAS, 我们将在哪里帮助他们制定沟通计划.

适应是对通常做事方式的修改. The purpose of effective accommodations is to provide students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate and benefit from college.

The following are examples of the most common accommodations that permit a student with a disability to effectively participate in the educational process:

• Changes to a classroom environment or task: extended time for an exam, isolated testing location;
• Removal of architectural barriers: adapting a classroom to meet the needs of a student who uses a wheelchair;
• Exceptions to policies, 实践或程序:优先注册或提前获得任务;
• 提供辅助帮助和服务:提供手语翻译, or providing a note-taker or scribe.

康考迪亚大学不需要提供住宿, 接纳或继续接纳残疾人士参加任何课程, program, 服务或活动或提供教育机会和其他服务，当:

• The educational standards or mission of Concordia University would be substantially altered;
• 课程、项目、服务或活动的性质将从根本上改变;
• The student is not otherwise qualified (with or without accommodations) to meet the academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in an education course, program, service or activity;
• An undue financial or administrative hardship (university-wide) would be caused by the accommodation; and
• 如果个人会对自己或他人的健康或安全构成直接威胁.
• Additionally, CU不需要提供个人性质的住宿, 如个人护理人员或个人使用的设备.

Concordia faculty and staff have a responsibility to satisfy obligations of compliance under ADA statutes and regulations.

Accommodations must be requested within a reasonable timeframe and must be reasonable given the situation. When reasonableness clearly exists, instructors must coordinate the appropriate accommodation. When questions about reasonableness exist, 教师应向DAS咨询如何最好地解决这种情况: [email protected], 949-214-3039.
