The University acknowledges the highly confidential nature of students' disability-related information and records and ascribes to the federal guidelines.
Disability-related information provided to the Disability Support Services (DSS) office is maintained in a separate file that is not for inclusion with students' University records.
The DSS provider will collaborate with faculty and staff of other departments on a need to know basis to identify resources, examine and clarify academic issues and strategize approaches that deliver optimum student service.
Examples of issues that may require collaborative efforts include:
- Accommodative housing
- Environmental modifications
- Academic content/integrity concerns
- Health Services
Legal requirements or issues or medical emergencies could present an exception to this policy.
