Accommodations/ Instructor Letters

When a student requests classroom accommodations, they must provide Student Accessibility Services with appropriate documentation of their disability. Our office staff will interpret the documentation to determine that the requested accommodation is reasonable.

Implementing academic accommodations is a shared responsibility between the student, the instructor, and the College. Students are responsible for requesting that their accommodation letter be sent to their instructors. Accommodation letters are requested through Workday. NOTE: Accommodations are not retroactive; they are for future/ongoing use unless otherwise indicated as “provisional” with a specific applicable 
term.
How to Request an Accommodation Letter

  1. Log in to Workday
  2. Click on the “Academic & Advising Hub”.
  3. Click on “TSC Accommodations”. (This will then take you to the Student Accommodation Dashboard)
  4. Click on “Select Accommodations”.
  5. To have your accommodation letter sent, please click on the box or 
    boxes next to the class. 

Accommodation is determined based on disability documentation. 

Exam Proctoring

Students are required to submit the Exam Accommodations Request form at least 48 hours (2 school days) in advance of each exam. Once students schedule an exam with Accommodated Testing Services, you will receive an email notifying you of the exam request. Instructors are required to send exams via email or intercampus mail to the Accommodated Testing Center prior to the exam. Instructors should also include any relevant information pertaining to the exam administration (eg. notes, formula or reference sheets, use of calculators, etc.).
