We are a resource to provide access for students with disabilities. By partnering with you, we ensure students experience access in their coursework through accommodations or other outcomes.

SYLLABUS ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Quinsigamond Community College is committed to providing access and inclusion for all persons with disabilities. Students who require an accommodation in this course should notify the professor as soon as possible. Students are responsible for forwarding the Accommodation Letter to the professor (via email or hard copy).  Students may request accommodations at any time during the semester, which begin upon receipt (accommodations are not retroactive). Please discuss any barriers which may arise during the semester with your Professor or Coordinator in the Student Accessibility Services office.

Think UDL! Accessibility Assessment Toolkit

By Faculty, for Faculty

Implementing the principles of universal design in learning means anticipating the diversity of students that may enroll in your course and planning accordingly. Faculty from the University of South Carolina Upstate developed their own instructional materials for compliance.  Please see the link to their tool kit, which contains:

- Course Accessibility Checklist

- Guide to Prioritizing Captioning

- Captioning Assessment Form

Courses designed with access in mind from the outset require fewer accommodations and offer a more inclusive experience.
