General Awareness<\/h2>\n

As an instructor you will rarely know the specifics of a student’s disability. In some cases a student may ask to meet with you to discuss his or her disability, but in most cases, you will be emailed a notification from the student’s Disability Specialist stating that the student is working with CLASS. This email will list the accommodations they are eligible to receive as a result of their documented disabilities (but it will not give the specifics of the disability). Students need to meet with a Disability Specialists before they can\u00a0take exams in the Groves Accommodations Lab. If someone indicates to you that they have a disability and need accommodations and you haven’t received an email from a Disability Specialist about them, please tell the student to contact our office.<\/p>\n

If you have questions or concerns about a student you are working with, you can\u00a0call our office\u00a0and ask to speak with the Specialist who is working with that student. The Specialist may not be able to tell you what a student’s disability is, but they may be able to provide you with some guidance for working with the student.<\/p>\n

Syllabus Statement<\/h2>\n

Faculty are strongly encouraged to include on their syllabus a statement directing a student to CLASS\u00a0in order to make it clear to a student that it is their responsibility and right to get the process of receiving accommodations started. An\u00a0example of a statement is:<\/p>\n

Disability Accommodations and Accessibility: If you need disability-related accommodations to have equal access in this course, please contact the CLASS Office (Disability Resources) at class@augsburg.edu<\/a> or schedule a meeting with CLASS at www.augsburg.edu\/class<\/a>. Phone: (612) 330-1053. Location: Lindell Library, 216. If accommodations are required, the CLASS Office will notify me privately about your needs. Please note that you will not be required to disclose your disability, only your accommodations.<\/p>\n

Textbook selection for Alternative Formats<\/h2>\n

Students whose disability impacts their reading may receive an accommodation for their course reading materials (textbooks, handouts, syllabi, lab manuals) to be in an accessible format. Formats include compact disc, Braille, large print, e-text, or scan-and-read access.\u00a0Depending upon the particular format, it can take up to 8 weeks for a recorded text and 3 or more months for a Brailled document.\u00a0We\u00a0ask that\u00a0faculty choose texts for their courses well in advance of the term to give us time to\u00a0complete the conversion. If you give students handouts to read, please make these available to the student\u00a0in advance so the student can get them in an accessible format.<\/p>\n
