Students' Rights and Responsibilities

Below are the students' rights and responsibilities:

• A student will submit a semester request that gives the Office of Disability and Accommodations permission to send their letters of accommodations to their professors. The Office of Disability and Accommodations may notify their instructors listed on the current academic semester schedule of their reasonable disability accommodations.
• It is the student's responsibility to notify the Office of Disability and Accommodations if they change their class schedule anytime after the registration period so that the Office of Disability and Accommodations can send their accommodations to their new professors in the updated classes. 
• The student agrees to the following communications regarding my accommodations:
  • Communicate with my instructor(s) if I plan to use my approved accommodations in the classroom, lab, clinical setting, field trips, field experiences, etc.  Although the Office of Disability and Accommodations will notify my instructor(s) of my approved accommodations, I understand that I must communicate with my instructor(s) regarding the use of my accommodations.  
  • Communicate with my instructor(s) at least one week before the quiz or exam if I plan to use testing accommodations, as this is the only way I will know where to take my exam and the beginning and ending time of my exam. I understand that accommodations are not active until I have communicated with my instructor.
    • It is best practice for students to complete exams in close proximity to professors in order to have the opportunity to ask questions.  Therefore, professors and students should discuss when and where an exam can be completed if it cannot be completed during the scheduled class time.
    • If there are extenuating circumstances where the professor is unable to administer the exam, please contact the Office of Disability and Accommodations.
  • If I receive approval for note-taking assistance or alternative text, I will explore all options presented to me by the Office of Disability and Accommodations.  After exploring the possibilities, I will give feedback regarding those options, and how those options work best for me.  
  • If I experience any difficulty or have questions about using my accommodations, I will contact the Office of Disability and Accommodations to discuss my concerns by calling 610-861-1401 or sending an email to oda@moravian.edu.
