An interpreter/signer will be provided as needed, and with no cost to the student, for all classes and related college activities. Students must request this service prior to the start of each semester and sign the Agreement for Interpreting Services. Note that students sponsored by the Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID) must request an interpreter through their VESID counselor.

Each professor will appoint a classmate to take notes. Typically, special carbonized notepaper will be used although notes can also be copied in the departmental office.

Students may be allowed to tape record their classes, including both lectures and discussions. Students are responsible for supplying their own tape recorder and tapes. Note that recordings are strictly for the purpose of reviewing course material and should therefore be erased or destroyed at the end of the semester.

The use of a calculator may be permitted for all math classes, with the exception of certain topics in MA01 (Developmental Mathematics Skills) where the emphasis is computational in nature.

A scribe (i.e., writer) may be provided for in-class writing assignments and exams.

Students may be provided with special seating arrangements, such as seating in the front of the room or a special chair.

Special testing conditions may be provided as follows:

• extended time – typically in the amount of time and a half

• readers/writers – students may be provided with someone to read or write an exam for them

• alternate testing location – students may be allowed to take their exams in a separate location, such as a special testing center or the instructor's office

• spell checker – students may be allowed to use a word processor or spell checker for essay exams. Alternately, the instructor may be advised to omit spelling from the grading process

Priority scheduling is available for students who need a specific schedule, class, or building location to accommodate their disability.
