Voter Registration
The office of Services for Students with Disabilities is an agency based voter registration site. Students will be offered the opportunity to register to vote. There is no obligation to register and the student’s decision will have no affect on services of the office.
Conflict Resolution and Appeal Process
The office of Services for Students with Disabilities is committed to working collaboratively with students and the campus community. Every effort is made to ensure that students with disabilities are provided with the appropriated accommodations when requested. In the event that a disagreement should arise students should take the following steps:
- Arrange an appointment with the Coordinator to discuss the situation.
- If the conflict cannot be resolved, the student should then make an appointment with the Dean of Students in the Student Affairs office Room L 418, to further discuss the situation.
- If the student and the Dean are not able to come to a resolution, a meeting should be arranged with the Vice President of Student Affairs.
- If the problem still cannot be resolved and the question revolves around access and accommodation, then the student should make a formal written request to the Office of Affirmative Action to investigate the issue.
- In the event that the problem cannot be resolved after all steps have been taken, a formal complaint can be filed with the Office of Civil Rights.
