In this workshop designed for GVSU faculty members, we will: 1) examine a sample accommodation memo, 2) learn how to provide the accommodations listed without compromising course integrity, and 3) better understand your rights as a professor, and your legal obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act. 

We'll discuss...

  • what information is included on accommodation memos
  • what information is excluded
  • The process DSR uses to approve accommodations
  • Resources available to faculty when providing accommodations
  • A sample accommodation memo that includes
    • Periodic Absences
