Student Accessibility Services (SAS): Students eligible for accommodations are encouraged to meet with me in private to discuss their services and accommodations. Please email me a copy of your “Services and Accommodations” form from SAS prior to our meeting. This information will be kept confidential and will not affect your grade. Also, students who think they could use support from SAS for temporary or permanent conditions, or who suspect they might have a learning disability, please contact their office: (510) 436-2429 to make an appointment.
Students have the right to request reasonable modifications to college requirements, services, facilities, or programs if their documented disability imposes an educational limitation or impedes access to such requirements, services, facilities or programs. A student with a disability who requests a modification, accommodation, or adjustment is responsible for identifying their self to the instructor and, if desired, to the SAS office. Students who consult or request assistance from SAS regarding specific modifications, accommodations, adjustments or use of auxiliary aids will be required to meet timelines and procedural requirements established by the SAS office.
