Accessibility Resources Accommodation Contract

As a student requesting academic accommodations through the Office of Accessibility Resources (OAR), I understand that I have responsibilities to both myself and my education here at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­. Academic accommodations assist in providing the necessary tools and strategies that may be used to work towards academic success. As part of receiving such accommodations, I agree to the following:

1. I give permission for all instructors and/or student support representatives to be notified of my accommodations while enrolled in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ and will verify that they have received such correspondence. I will notify OAR if there are changes in my schedule or if I wish to discontinue these services.
2. I will contact OAR if I experience difficulties that may interfere with the successful completion of my course of study.
3. I will meet attendance requirements and complete assignments in a timely fashion for all registered courses.
4. If I receive testing accommodations, I will follow the policies and procedures set forth by the university. For On-campus students- I understand that instructors prefer students to take tests at the same time as the class. If I have the option during on-campus course registration, I will plan for additional time in between classes to allow for my testing accommodations. If I elect to utilize testing services at the SSSC, I will use the Student Success and Support Center's  link to review instructions and to make a testing appointment. Before each testing appointment of the semester, you will be required to review and sign the "Statement of Expectations" for testing services.
5. I will maintain communication with faculty/staff through my classroom email and/or my university email address (@my.fit.edu email account), in accordance with expectations published in the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Student Handbook.
6. If I prefer for a specific person to have knowledge of my educational records, I will complete theFERPA-Authorization for Release of Information with the Office of the Registrar, according to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
7. On-campus students, I understand that academic accommodations are effective for one semester and will need to reactivate my accommodations with OAR each semester by completing this accommodation contract. I understand the deadline for activating accommodations each semester is the Friday before the last day of  classes.
8. Online and Virtual students (excluding ABA online), I understand that academic accommodations are effective for one term/semester and will need to reactivate my accommodations with OAR each semester by completing this accommodation contract. I understand the deadline for activating accommodations each term/semester is the Friday of the 6th week of classes.
