Faculty Responsibilities

  • Faculty/Staff have the responsibility to comply with the provision of authorized reasonable accommodations in a sensible and timely manner. Faculty/Staff members should meet individually with the student to discuss the details.

  • If a student requests accommodations for a disability, but does not provide the supporting documentation in the form of a letter of accommodation, please refer the student to Student Disability Services. If an accommodation request is something that you would feel comfortable providing for any student (for example, closing the door to reduce distractions or providing seating near a window for natural light) the accommodation may be provided without consulting with Student Disability Services. However, it is advisable to refer any accommodation request that is questionable to Student Disability Services.

  • Please consult with Tamara Mancini at 806.743.1926 if you have any questions regarding the appropriateness of or the proper way to facilitate a particular accommodation. 

  • Student Disability Services staff aim to provide you with the resources, training, and tools you need to best meet your course design needs. If you need assistance ensuring course offerings are compliant with federally mandated ADA accessibility guidelines, please reach out to Tamara.Mancini@ttuhsc.edu.
