麻豆原创 students seeking to register for academic accommodations must complete the application process with AARS to formalize accommodations. The student must create an鈥� and upload current documentation to the profile which establishes that the student has a disability. The student will then schedule an intake with an AARS team member, in which documentation will be reviewed amongst the team member and the student, and appropriate accommodations will be determined. Once this process is complete,鈥痑n email will be sent out to professors with information on each accommodation that the student is approved to receive.鈥疶he faculty member is expected to implement these accommodations in the classroom. The student and faculty member are encouraged to meet and discuss how implementation of accommodations will look in the classroom. Faculty can contact AARS if there are any questions or concerns.鈥�

Generally, a student鈥檚 home campus is responsible for establishing and providing accommodations. Below is a list of coordinators:鈥�

There are many accommodations offered to students, however the following often yield the most questions from professors. For this reason, we are including descriptions of each of these accommodations so that you as the professor can get a better understanding.

Alternative Testing (Proctored Tests)鈥�

This is a brief run through of the steps that a student and professor will need to take for proctored testing.鈥疐or further details about scheduling, deadlines, etc., please contact the SDRC.鈥�

鈥�

Step 1. At the beginning of each semester (and/or once a student is approved of academic accommodations by the AARS office), students are responsible to go into their AIM portal and request to send emails to professors that inform professors of the student’s accommodations.鈥�

These emails will come from the AARS email address.鈥�

Step 2. If step 1 is completed, and the student has approved accommodations for alternative testing such as 鈥淩educed Distraction Testing鈥�, 鈥淧rivate Testing Room鈥� or any extra time for testing, then, any time that a student wants to use their accommodations on a test, they can request to test with the SDRC through the AIM portal.鈥�

Step 3. Once the SDRC receives the test request, they will decide whether to approve it or not. (This will be based on if the test request was done on time, on space availability, etc.) Once the SDRC staff approves the test, an email is automatically sent to both the student and the professor informing them of the test approval.鈥�

Step 4. The SDRC approval is only a “tentative” approval, because they still need the professor’s approval to know if the date, test length, etc is accurate/permitted. If the professor also approves, then they should upload the test using the link that is sent in the tentatively approved email (or deliver the test to the SDRC in another way).鈥�

Step 5: The test will be completed by the student in the SDRC facility and proctored by SDRC staff. Any additional testing accommodations will be administered by the SDRC staff in the facility.鈥�

Step 6: Once the test is completed, the SDRC staff will scan the test back to the professor (unless another method of return is requested).鈥�

鈥�

Alternate Deadline鈥�

鈥疭tudents may need occasional flexibility with assignment due dates due to disability-related challenges. This requires timely communication and a clear plan鈥痓etween instructor and student.鈥�

Faculty Support Example: A student may request an extra 48 hours to complete a major assignment due to an acute flare-up of symptoms.鈥�

鈥�

Alternate Deadline鈥� (Formalized Agreement)

In cases where ongoing or repeated deadline extensions are needed, a written鈥痑greement outlining expectations may be required. Deadlines should not extend鈥痓eyond the last instructional day.鈥�

Faculty Support Example: A student and instructor agree that up to 3 assignments may be turned in up to 3 days late, with specific conditions.鈥�

The AARS Office offers the student and professor with an agreement form for both parties to sign and agree upon dates of alternative deadlines. 鈥�

Occasional Absences鈥�

Students with an occasional absence accommodation may have a disability with unpredictable or cyclical acute episodes, and will therefore need flexibility with attendance.听

At the start of the semester, students and faculty should come to an agreement on how many absences are permitted throughout the semester, and what alternatives are available for missed assignments, exams, participation points, coursework, or other material that could impact a student鈥檚 grade or access to course content.听

Students should make every effort to attend all classes except when they need to use their accommodation and should provide continuous proactive communication on absences throughout the semester.听

AARS can be contacted should there be any questions or concerns pertaining to disability-related absences. If necessary, the department chair or other appropriate administrators may also be included in these discussions.听

Audio Recording Lectures鈥�

The accommodation to audio record lectures听through the use of听an audio recording device allows students with disabilities to have equal access to receive and process information presented in class by supporting their notetaking needs.听听

Methods听of听making an audio recording may include an audio recording device, a听Livescribe听pen, or the use of recording software on a laptop or a cellular phone (e.g.听Messenger Pigeon,听Genio,听Audionote, Otter.ai). This accommodation is approved on an individual basis to听ameliorate听the symptoms that may听impact听a student within a classroom setting.听听

Students who have been granted access to record audio lectures through the formal accommodation process, are subject to and agree to abide to the following conditions:听

• Recordings of class lectures are only for the听student’s personal use听in study and preparation related to the class. If a student is studying or preparing in a public or semi-private space, including a dorm room, library, coffee shop, community spaces, or others, they must ensure that any content is strictly limited to their personal use and not to be heard by others.听

• The student may听NOT听share these recordings with any other person,听whether or not听that person is in their class.听

• Recordings must remain on student鈥檚 personal device for personal use in study and preparation for course and cannot be shared or transferred by any method currently available or any method which may become available in the future. For instance, recordings may not be uploaded to file-sharing sites, posted on the web or to any form of social media, AI, provided to journalists, newspapers,听blogs,听or shared in any other way.听听

• The student acknowledges that the recordings of lectures are sources, the use of which in any academic work is governed by rules of academic conduct at 麻豆原创 and the Claremont Colleges, in addition to federal copyright laws. Students acknowledge that course lectures and materials are the protected intellectual property of the professor, and the student could be subject to disciplinary action for violating those rights and this agreement. Student agrees to not upload, broadcast, publish, quote, share or release all or any part of these recordings.听

• All students who receive this accommodation agree to destroy any recordings, in any and all formats, within 10 days of the completion of the academic term for the course.

Students who have been granted permission to audio record class lectures as an accommodation must agree to abide by each of these provisions. All students will sign the听听with the information noted above. Their signed agreement may be shared with faculty upon request.

Classes That Involve Contain Sensitive Material (i.e., Self-Disclosure)

Occasionally, courses may involve a great deal of self-disclosure, personal reflection, or confidential discussions from students or presenters as part of the class. As such, instructors may object to recording fearing that the recording device will inhibit students from sharing freely or would risk anonymity. In these cases, it is important to remember that the use of the recording device is to substitute and support the student鈥檚听note taking听ability. If these open discussions are not appropriate subject matter for any student to be taking notes, then it would be appropriate to make a general announcement to the class and ask听ALL听students to stop听note-taking听in addition to turning off any recording devices.听

Faculty Right to Privacy and Protecting Copyright听

If an instructor objects to the use of a recording device, it is typically because they听maintain听that their right to privacy of information discussed in the classroom is being violated or because there is a concern about a breach of copyright. However, the instructor鈥檚 right to privacy or concern over copyright does not override the student鈥檚 right to accommodation. It is the responsibility of the Office of Academic Resources and Services to see that the instructor鈥檚 concern for privacy and protection of copyright is respected and addressed while still assuring the availability of accommodation for the student. This is done through听that students must agree and adhere to which details the specific limited use of the recordings and arranges for their disposal when the purpose of the recording has been fulfilled.听

If instructors have questions or concerns听regarding听the recording of their class discussions, the nature of the information presented and discussed, or any questions听regarding听our policy and this accommodation, please reach out the Office of Accommodations and Academic Resources and Services ([email protected])
