Class Accessibility and Basic Needs

Students who have verified learning disabilities and need assistive services or who, due to a sensory or processing disability, require alternative media formats of class materials should contact the Access Office at (760) 384-6250 .

•   This course contains a variety of resources, including several videos.  All videos are Closed Captioned, and should not require special software/plugins on your computer.  If you have difficulty with the videos, or accessing any other resource in the course, please immediately contact me.

•   You are an online student, and the Access program –DSPS is here to support you as an online learner. There are several resources that can be made available to you, even at a distance. Here is a list of only a few of the resources that you might benefit from: accommodations such as books in alternative format (e-text, or audio), extended time for tests, access to specialized equipment such as e-book readers and speech recognition software.  

If you think you have a disability, or need of assistive services, but currently have no documentation, DSPS may be able to help you.  All information will be kept confidential.
