Who will know about my disability?

by

All documents which Disability Support Services collects are regarded with strict confidentiality. Disability Support Services does not reveal the condition or diagnosis of any student registered and/or verified with us.

Once the student is assigned accommodations on MyDSS, the student should meet with each professor to discuss their new accommodations. It is the responsibility of the student to meet with the professor at the start of the quarter and discuss their accommodations. Once the student identifies to the professor, the professor can log in to the Faculty Portal on MyDSS to view students' accommodation.

 

How can I find out what my accommodations are?

by

Once the student has met with out accommodations specialist and the disability and its functional limitations are verified, DSS provides information about the various reasonable modifications which address the student's functional limitations.

The student then chooses the reasonable accommodations that best apply in a given course or semester.

If the student would like to know what their accommodations are afterwards, they must come in person & bring their Student ID to the DSS office to request this.

 

What do I need to bring when coming in to take my exam?
