How does EAS collaborate with faculty?

Provide Resources

Confidential

If a student reports a disability or impairment when requesting help, please refer the student to EAS for consideration and determination of support.

The student’s registration with Educational Access Services, any student-shared disability details, and the fact that they receive accommodations should be kept confidential.

  • A resource to applicable students that are struggling
  • Protection for specifics of disability
  • Protection for integrity of course

Fundamental Alterations

Proctored Exams

Students may request a proctored test in the EAS office to receive accommodations that cannot otherwise be received in the classroom.

An accommodation that fundamentally alters the nature of a course or the program curriculum may be considered unreasonable. Contact EAS to discuss these concerns.

Service Animals: is a dog or miniature horse individually trained to do work or perform specific tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability.

Questions you can ask:

  1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
  2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
