DSS Guide to Accommodating Students with Disabilities

Santa Monica College Faculty/Staff Guide to Accommodating Students with Disabilities
Effective support services and academic adjustments for students with disabilities requires effort by a team comprised of the student, the faculty, the staff and Disabled Student Services.	Santa Monica College is committed to the belief that students with disabilities should have equal opportunity to participate in all the academic and extracurricular activities of the college. Each year, over 1000 students with disabilities identify themselves to Disabled Students Services and request reasonable academic adjustments, as mandated by state and federal law. Others go directly to instructors and staff with requests for accommodations which may or may not be legitimate. We hope this guide will help you to identify and accommodate legitimate student requests for academic adjustment. A Message from the President
