Reasonable Accommodations

According to the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 Reasonable Accommodations (for educational settings) means making appropriate adjustments or modifications of examinations, training materials or policies; the provision of qualified readers or interpreters and other similar accommodations for individuals with disabilities. 

Marshall University's Disabled Student Services Offices recognizes the following as reasonable accommodations:

• Extended test time - time and a half to double time (with instructor approval)

• Preferential seating

• Table & chair rather than desk

• Notetakers

• Interpreters

• Readers for test questions

• Scribes for tests for Learning Disabled, Visually Impaired, and Physically Impaired students

• Course Substitution

• Separate, quiet room

• Tape record class

• Tutor

• Early registration

• Single room

• Medical withdrawal

In order to receive an academic accommodation, a student should provide documentation to the Disabled Student Services Office, the HELP Program, and/or the Student Athlete Program Offices.  This office will then notify the professor of the recommended reasonable accommodation.  Although a professor may provide an accommodation if they choose, consulting any of the above offices is recommended.
