As a student who has provided appropriate documentation to the Accessibility Services (AS) office to obtain accommodations, I agree to the following:
1. I will inform the AS Coordinator of any changes in my condition of disability and provide additional documentation, if necessary, during the course of my educational enrollment at Grays Harbor College. If the AS Coordinator determines that additional documentation is necessary, acquiring appropriate documentation is my responsibility.
2. I understand that the use of Support Services (ASL, Visual Interpreters, Scribes, CART, etc.) is a major accommodation and requires I provide AS with a 48-hour notification of absence/cancellation.
a. If I fail to provide a 24-hour notification for more than 3 consecutive school days, these accommodations services may be suspended until I meet with the AS Coordinator to discuss my attendance.
b. Reinstatement of suspended accommodation services may not be immediate due to the time required to re-coordinate support staff schedules.
3. Upon completion of registration for each quarter, I will schedule an appointment with the AS Coordinator to activate my accommodations. I also agree to contact my instructors, if appropriate, and discuss with them the agreed upon accommodations for the quarter. I understand that accommodations are not retroactive and do not take effect each quarter until I have met with the AS Coordinator and discussed my accommodations with my instructors.
4. I will inform AS of any problems with my accommodations (e.g. equipment not working correctly, note-taker not coming to class, accommodations not meeting student needs, etc.).
5. If accommodations include alternative testing (e.g. separate test location, reader, scribe, extended time, etc.), I understand that it is my responsibility to remind the instructor at least 3 business/school days before each test day that I will need alternative testing.
a. If alternative testing is through the Testing Center, I agree to make an appointment with the Testing Center at least 3 business days before the test. (Students are encouraged to schedule their test as soon as they know the test date). If the Testing Center is unavailable, students will need to schedule their test with AS.
b. If alternate testing is through AS (e.g. separate test location, reader, scribe, etc.), I agree to make an appointment with AS office, 3 business days before the test. (Students are encouraged to schedule their test as soon as they know the test date).
6. I will make a formal request for major accommodations (i.e. alternately formatted textbooks, ASL interpreters, scribe, etc.) with AS at least 20 instructional days in advance of need.
7. I understand that I am responsible to contact my instructors after AS coordinator has emailed my Letters of Accommodation (LOA) to all of my instructors (in-class or online). AS coordinator will include me on this email.
