教师 Information on Procedures, 资源, and Forms

When a student with a disability enrolls in a course, 教师 and instructors can expect two things to occur. First, an e-mail arrives from the 体育菠菜大平台 Disability Services for 学生 (DSS) office. It lists and describes the specific 住宿 assigned to the student.

第二个, the student with a disability contacts 老师 or 教师 member to discuss how best to implement each accommodation in the specific course. 学生 have a responsibility to communicate their needs to each instructor. If a student does not make arrangements with 老师 sufficiently in advance, the 住宿 listed in the e-mail need not be provided. 然而, when a student requests assigned 住宿, they must be provided as soon as reasonably possible.

偶尔, an instructor or 教师 member may find that an accommodation conflicts with an essential element of the course. 在这种情况下, contact the Disability Services for 学生 (DSS) office for a meeting and provide the accommodation in question until the situation is resolved.

In most cases, the notification e-mail is sent approximately 10 days in advance of the semester. 然而, if a student registers with Disability Services for 学生 after classes have begun the e-mail is sent as soon as possible thereafter. The student's status as a person with a disability is confidential.

For more information about the disability accommodation process, see the Responsibilities section below or contact the Disability Services for 学生 at (308) 865-8214 or unkdso@pronewport.com.

偶尔, a student may claim disability status and ask a 教师 member or course instructor for 住宿 directly rather than going through the Disability Services for 学生 registration process. While granting this request may seem easier in the short term, it creates problems for the student, 教员或教员, 从长远来看，这所大学也是如此.

It is strongly recommended that any student who identifies themselves as having a disability complete the registration process with Disability Services for 学生 (DSS) before being provided any disability-related 住宿. If a student identifies themselves as having a specific disability, 医学诊断, or psychological diagnosis please refer them to Disability Services for 学生 (DSS). Keep in mind that the referral is made after a disability diagnosis is disclosed.  It is not appropriate to ask someone if they have a disability.

The 体育菠菜大平台 Testing Accommodations is located in MSAB 164 and is available for students who require exam 住宿 that cannot be provided in the classroom. Only those 住宿 previously approved by the Disability Services for 学生 (DSS) office will be provided at the DSS Testing Center. The Testing Center Guidelines describe student and 教师 responsibilities in this process and must be followed in each testing situation. Testing Accommodations Guidelines for 学生 & 教师

In the event an instructor does not submit a test to the DSS Office Testing at the appointed time, the student will wait approximately ten minutes and then contact 老师 for guidance as to when the test will be delivered to the Testing Center.

A transcriptionist may be in the classroom to facilitate communication between the deaf/hard of hearing student, 老师, 同学们. Instructors should interact with the deaf/hard of hearing student just as they would with their other students. The transcriptionist will position her/himself in the classroom where she/he can easily access instructor and student discourse. Depending on the student's degree of hearing loss and preference, the transcriptionist will raise her hand and communicate the student's questions or comments.

Transcription may also be provided remotely by an off-campus transcriber using the student’s laptop, 手机, 或者其他设备.  The student will need to be allowed to have this device in the classroom.  It may also be helpful for a Zoom link to be provided if possible and for instructors to speak clearly and repeat student questions so that the transcriber is able to capture the classroom discussion.

学生 with many types of disabilities, 比如视力低下的人, 学习障碍, 或者严重的关节炎, require assistance in taking notes during class. Instructors are asked to make a request that a volunteer from the class share their notes with a student who has a disability. The intention of this accommodation is to assist students who cannot generate a complete set of notes on their own; it is not a replacement for attendance. Therefore, notes are only provided when the student with a disability attends class.

If the student with a disability has a complaint about the quality or delivery of the notes, it is his/her responsibility to alert the Disability Services for 学生 Office. The instructor may be asked to assess the quality of the notes, or ask for another volunteer.
