If you are eligible for DSPS services, please contact me during the first week of the course, so I can make the necessary accommodations. I am more than willing and happy to accommodate students with disabilities.
Students with disabilities who may need academic accommodations are encouraged to discuss their authorized accommodations from Disability Support Programs and Services (DSPS) with their professors early in the semester so that accommodations may be implemented as soon as possible
The faculty member will work with the DSPS Office to ensure that proper accommodations are made for each student. By law, it is up to the DSPS Office which accommodations are appropriate, not the student or the faculty. This includes accommodations in a clinical setting.
If you are not sure if you are eligible for DSPS services, please contact our wonderful DSPS office. The information is below:
Location: One Stop Center, G-238
Phone: 619-660-4239
Their hours of operation may vary based on the semester, so here is the link you can check: Cuyamaca DSPS Office
