Examples of Accommodations:

- If he or she needs to take frequent breaks to rest, make arrangements in conjunction with the Wellness Center.
- Allow the student seating that accommodates best access to whatever facilities he or she needs (bathroom, hallways, etc.).
- Provide note takers/tape recording.
- Allow flexible exam dates and times.
- Allow extended time to complete exams and assignments.
- Make assignments available in electronic format, use of electronic mail to facilitate communication.
