Academic Services

Student Responsibilities

First, students must be registered with Accessibility Services to receive any accommodations. To register contact Accessibility Services at (906) 635-2802.

Then, at the beginning of each academic year, students seeking accommodation services need to:

• Indicate to Accessibility Services (AS) their desire to receive accommodation services by coming in to the office and picking up their Letter of Accommodation for each professor;
• If requested, provide updated, relevant, and current disability documentation;
• Complete any necessary forms for requesting accommodations (i.e., requests for textbooks, note takers, equipment, etc…);
• Meet with their professors to discuss their individual accommodations.

To schedule an exam with accommodations

• call 906-635-2802 or x2802 from on campus,
• send an e-mail to dstesting@lssu.edu or shope@lssu.edu,
• or stop by Room 102 or 149 in the Library.

Accessibility Services also provides accommodated testing services.  To use these services students are required to read and understand the testing rules.  Students will be asked to sign these rules the first time they test with Accessibility Services.
