As an institute of higher education, Adelphi\u2019s academic programs, courses, services, facilities and activities must be accessible to students with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosing a disability and\u00a0 requesting accommodations are personal decisions for each student. The best way for Faculty to support our students with disabilities, especially those that are new to Adelphi, is to inform them of their resources on campus (including the SAO) and encourage them to reach out for assistance if needed.<\/p>\n<p>We understand you may have questions about providing services to students and creating a climate of mutual understanding, appreciation and support throughout the campus. We are here to answer your questions and provide support and guidance to appropriate campus resources.<\/p>\n<h2>What are Academic Accommodations?<\/h2>\n<p>Academic Accommodations are reasonable adjustments, aides, or modifications that ensure equal access and mitigate barriers related to a student\u2019s disability. If such a barrier exists, Adelphi must offer a reasonable accommodation to mitigate that barrier. Reasonable accommodations are not intended to provide preferential treatment or an unfair advantage\u2014they are intended to \u201clevel the playing field\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In order to use their approved accommodations in a given course, students must complete the mandatory SAO Online Orientation provided by our office that details how their accommodations are to be properly implemented. Students are then required to \u201cself-identify\u201d to their individual instructors by providing a copy of their Letter of Accommodation (LOA), authored by the SAO. Please note that some accommodations require additional training, paperwork and collaboration between Faculty and the SAO.<a id=\"syllabus\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"black-headline\">Syllabus Statement<\/h2>\n<p>Please include the following statement in your course syllabus:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf you require disability-related accommodations for this course, you are encouraged to contact the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adelphi.edu\/access-office\">Student Access Office (SAO)<\/a>\u00a0at 516.877.3806 or at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:sao@adelphi.edu\">sao@adelphi.edu<\/a>.
