Syllabus Statement

Please include the following statement on each course syllabus and read it aloud during the first week of each term:

Pierpont works closely with full- or part-time students to determine reasonable accommodations that will help students be successful in their schooling. Many students who were under an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a 504 Plan during high school will qualify for services, as will many other students who might not have received specialized services during K-12. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Disability Services Office to discuss any disability that might interfere with the pursuit of their education and what type of documentation of the disability will be required. Approved accommodations are determined on an individual basis. Instructors are not required to allow any academic accommodations unless the student provides the instructor with a letter from the Office of Disability Services outlining the necessary accommodations.  It is the student’s responsibility to discuss the logistics of each accommodation with each instructor to arrange for the most feasible service provision.  Students must provide their professors with a copy of their accommodation letter each semester in order to receive their accommodations.  The accommodation letter will be given to the student after the student completes an intake with disability services.  Appointments may be made by email to access@pierpont.edu, by telephone (304) 534-7878 (TTY 304-367-4906), or in person at 231-A Hardway Hall (Locust Avenue Campus).
