A Compliance Checklist

   Stand by academic standards and freedoms, which include full and equitable access to academic programs.

   Provide verbal and written notice to your students of your willingness to accommodate. For example: "I encourage students with disabilities to discuss accommodations with me."

  Communicate clear and concise expectations for performance to your students.

   Distinguish between essential and non-essential components of the course.

    Respect requests for reasonable accommodations.

    Permit students to use auxiliary aides and technologies that ensure access (examples: note takers, sign language interpreters, readers, scribes, audio recorders/players, assistive listening devices).

   Assure that your course materials, whether printed or electronic, are accessible and available in alternative formats (examples: Braille, computer electronic text, large print, internet, CD/DVD).

   Consult with DSPS if you have questions when a student requests accommodations.

   Keep student disability-related information strictly confidential.
