REPORT AN INCIDENT 

When to Refer

  • Refer to DSS when the student discloses a disability and asks for accommodations but does not have a "Verification of Need for Disability Accommodations" from DSS.
  • Refer elsewhere when:
    • The student has a temporary medical condition (i.e., broken arm or hand that interferes with writing). Refer to the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities for advice on how to assist the student.
    • The student asks for an accommodation because he/she is experiencing test anxiety. (Test anxiety is not a disability.) Refer the student to the University Counseling Center for stress management strategies.
    • The student runs out of time on tests and English is not his/her first language. Refer the student to his/her advisor at the Office of International Programs.

Confidentiality

  • Code of Student Life-Section 8: Student Records
  • Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)
