It is the responsibility of the faculty to work in conjunction with Student Support Services in providing approved accommodations and support services, in a fair and timely manner. Students should initiate a meeting to discuss the accommodations.
- Include an accommodation statement on every syllabus and read aloud to students during the first week of class. The following statement is appropriate.
Oklahoma City Community College Complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students with disabilities who seek accommodations must make their request by: Contacting the Office of Student Support Services located on the first floor of the main building near entry 12, or call 682-7520. All accommodations must be approved by the Student Support Services Office.
- Discuss with the student the accommodations or arrangements requested by the Advisor on the accommodation form as soon as possible.
- Contact the Advisor to Students with Disabilities if you have any concerns about the requested accommodations. The student's documentation is considered a medical record and therefore does not qualify to be part of the student's records and is not subject to faculty inspection.
