Suppose a student asks you for extra time on an exam. How should you respond? What are you required to do by law? How many students are likely to make such requests? Join us for a discussion of these and other questions about accommodations faculty may be asked to make for students with disabilities. Kathy Quade will provide a brief overview of Student Disability Services, followed by a discussion of several short cases involving faculty and students. Kurt Stimeling will explain the role of the Dean of Students Office in these matters.
Student Disability Services (SDS) is the designated office on the St. Olaf College campus that acts as a resource/ advocate for students with disabilities, verifies and files documentation, certifies eligibility or services, and establishes reasonable accommodations.
