[nagdu] Biology classes and guide dogs

[cheryl echevarria]

well closed toe shoes in any medical environment is off limits period, I worked in a lab in the billing office and I wasn't allowed to wear opened toed shoes and we were in a separate location then the lab itself.

With Emma, I am not sure. Never took Biology.

  Hi Listers,

   

  I am posting to both NABS and NAGDU because the topics are relevant to both
  lists. Sorry if your getting this twice. 

   

  In the fall, I will be taking Biology. The college requires that I sign an
  agreement that I will be safe at all times. On the agreement is that I will
  not wear any open toe shoes and there will be no pets in the class room.
  Now. Now. Before any one jumps on me, I know a guide is not a pet. But my
  guide dog will be going to campus with me and going to this class. 

   

  How, what can I do to make Emma safer during this class? How or what can I
  do or say to make the college feel safer about my guide being in the
  classroom? What have other students done about this? I know some of you out
  there who are dog users have taken biology. I would like some tips and
  tricks here. 

   

  Thank you,

  marsha
