Syllabus Statement for Faculty

One suggestion is to put a general statement on the course syllabus such as the one listed below:Note to students with disabilities: Penn State welcomes students with disabilities into the University's educational programs. If you have a disability-related need for modifications or reasonable accommodations in this course, contact the Office for Disability Services, ODS, located at 116 Boucke Building at 1-814-863-1807(V/TTY). For further information regarding ODS please visit their web site at www.equity.psu.edu/ods. Instructors should be notified as early in the semester as possible regarding the need for modification or reasonable accommodations.Since many students have disabilities not readily noticeable this announcement or statement encourages students to identify their needs early in the semester so timely adaptations can be made.
