- Include Disability Services syllabus statement from your home campus on the course syllabus.
- Students must provide you with a copy of their accommodation letter. They do not have to disclose their disability.
- Do not accommodate a student unless they or the home campus DSS provides you with an accommodation letter.
- USG's DSS testing center is located in the BSE Building, Suite 1322. We are open Monday through Friday, 10:00am-4:00pm.
- When you get a student test request in your inbox, please just read it. You do not submit anything when you receive it. You will wait for the faculty email reminder from Kaitlin/DSS.
- It is the students’ responsibility to submit Student Test Request a week in advance of the exam date. Faculty will immediately get an email once a student submits this online form.
- Faculty reminder emails with a Faculty Test Request link are sent out the day before the exam, and materials are due 5:00pm when that email is sent.
- Faculty must fill out a test request link for EACH student they have in their class. Every student has different accommodations. This is to ensure the correct accommodations are given to each individual student.
- Provide Academic help to students with disabilities as you would any other student in your class. If you feel a student requires additional help that you can’t provide, please contact Kaitlin Myers (kmills3@umd.edu).
- Disability accommodations are implemented and designed to allow students with disabilities an equal opportunity to learn and meet course requirements.
- Accommodations are not meant to alter any course standards. If a student with accommodations cannot meet course objectives, it may mean the student will not pass and should be referred to their home campus DSS offices/USG DSS offices.
