Disability Services Resources
Students with Disabilities:
This institution abides by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which mandates academic adjustments, which are commonly called reasonable accommodations, be provided for students with documented disabilities. If you have a disability and may require some type of instructional and/or examination accommodation, please contact me early in the semester so that I can provide or facilitate in providing accommodations you may need. If you have not already done so, you will need to contact the Disability Services office, the designated office on campus to provide services for students with disabilities. The office is located at 25 Capen Hall and the telephone number is (716) 645-2608. I look forward to talking with you soon.
