When should I apply for and request accommodations?
Students requiring accommodations to complete the admission application procedures should contact the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities. However, no disclosure need be made unless accommodations are needed.
Once a student has been admitted to the Flagler College, he or she is given the opportunity to declare a disability and to request academic accommodations.
How do I register for the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities?
Once a student is admitted to the college, if accommodations are required, students must request for them through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities; they must present appropriate documentation (Please see the Disability Documentation Requirements) and request services. Students are encouraged to sign up early and have their accommodations established well in advance of the beginning of classes.
What type of services are available?
Reasonable accommodations are provided based on the significant impact of the disability. Some of the more common accommodations are sign language interpreters, note takers, extended time on exams, assistive technology, and alternate format for textbooks and printed material.
Does the college provide personal assistance and services?
No. The college provides accessibility to all of its programs. However, if a student needs personal services and assistance that is the individual’s responsibility.
Who will ensure that the student turns in all assignments and stays current with the work load?
The student is responsible for their own assignments. Flagler College is a teaching institution. As such, the faculty members hold office hours weekly. They are available to assist the student and clarify any assignments. The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities is available to provide learning strategies and time management training if the student avails themselves of the service. Otherwise the student is expected to be responsible to manage their own assignments.
How do I request accommodations for the residence halls?
Students must provide documentation of the significant impact of the disability and request accommodations through the Office of Student Services. When a request is made for accessible rooms, the student will be referred to the Director of Housing for room assignment.
