Procedures to Follow Once Found Eligible

At Aims Community College, students with disabilities are empowered with the right to choose if, when and how accommodations will be utilized. Once eligibility is established, an accommodation plan prepared and the Intake process completed, students may decide on a case-by-case basis whether or not they would like to request specific accommodations. When the student decides that he/she needs a classroom accommodation or accommodations, he/she must schedule an appointment to meet with the professor of the course in which accommodation(s) is/are required.

During this meeting, the student must:

• Present the professor with a copy of the Faculty Accommodations Memo which verifies registration with DAC and identifies appropriate accommodations.
  
  
• Request the specific accommodations needed.
  
  
• Discuss the method by which the accommodations will be provided and how the professor can assist in this process. This discussion is essential. If this discussion between the professor and the student does not occur, the professor will not be informed of his/her role in the provision of accommodations and the student will not be protected under Federal and/or state disability laws.
