Chemeketa Community College is committed to providing accessible educational opportunities for all students and does so in accordance with college policy and in compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disability Act as Amended (2008). The Students with Disabilities statement is a required component of all syllabi. See the syllabus resources provided earlier.

Student accommodations are determined through the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) department on a case-by-case basis. Faculty members will receive a Letter of Accommodation via email from the SAS office for any students approved for disability related accommodations. The faculty member is required to implement the accommodations for which the student is eligible. The faculty member should not ask the student for information about their disability, as this information has already been provided to Student Accessibility Services. Common accommodations include alternative or extended testing and flexibility for deadlines, but each student’s accommodations is unique to their specific need and diagnosis. If a faculty member has a question or concern about the accommodation, they should contact SAS or their dean at the earliest opportunity. The faculty member should provide the accommodation as outlined until questions or concerns are resolved.

Universal Design for Learning: Engagement, Representation, Action and Expression

While some students have received specific accommodations, all students may benefit from materials and teaching strategies that incorporate elements of universal design. Faculty should consider broad-based physical and learning accommodation strategies for in-person, hybrid and online students. See information related to workshops in UDL later in the course.
