Students with disabilities and/or special
needs are entitled to reasonable accommodations, as determined
by the institution, after proper documentation of the disability has
been received. At Duquesne University, the Office of Freshmen Development
and Special Student Services is responsible for determining reasonable
accommodations and
for assisting students in communicating these to faculty.
Students should notify the
faculty member, at the beginning of the term, if any reasonable accommodations are needed. Students need to be registered with the Office of Freshmen
Development and Special Student Services. Before accommodations will
be granted, the faculty member should receive a memo confirming the recommendations
for reasonable accommodations from the Office of Freshmen Development
and Special Student Services.
The purpose for implementing reasonable
accommodations is to allow for equal opportunity for students with
disabilities. It is the student's responsibility to demonstrate that
the cognitive, behavioral and professional competencies have been acquired
to a satisfactory degree in order for successful completion of the course.
