[nabs-l] Using disabilities office

[Kate Carroll]

Hi,

It is my experience that instructors must provide accommodations if you are
registered with the DSS office. You can approach them individually without
having registered, and they might be receptive to giving accommodations, but
that is a subjective matter and they are not required to. Like Darian says,
they need documentation.
