Student Responsibilities

Students with Academic Accommodation Authorization memos from Binghamton University's Services for Students with Disabilities must fulfill the following responsibilities in order to receive the approved accommodations:

• Provide their instructor with an Academic Accommodation Authorization memo for that semester, signed by the SSD director or Learning Disabilities Specialist;
• Meet with their instructor, as early in the semester as possible, to discuss the implementation arrangements for their authorized accommodations;
• Remind their instructor of their testing accommodations one (1) week in advance of any scheduled test or quiz for which they are authorized and wish to receive accommodations;
• Attend all classes, a sound practice for all students and a requirement for students who are authorized for and expect to receive note-taker services for the course.

Questions or concerns regarding the nature or provision of academic accommodations should be addressed with a professional within the SSD office.                   (Phone: 777-2686, Location: UU 119)
