If you need special accommodations such as extra time on exams, tell us what you need right away and send us your note from DRES, as soon as possible. Also upload your LOA to the CBTF site. The first examlet is in the third week of classes, so we will need to make arrangements quickly.
Most DRES accommodations can be managed with extra time, more flexibility (e.g. deadlines), and equipment/softwware that you already have with you (e.g. a screen reader). The recorded lectures will have captions and, also, we plan to distribute parallel notes. However, please contact us if this won't address your issues, so that we can work out a custom solution, perhaps with help from DRES.
If you have a disability but aren't yet officially certified by DRES, speak to them now. This includes not only physical disabilities but also problems that impair your ability to concentrate such as ADHD and test anxiety. Even if you didn't need accommodations in high school, you might need them for some courses in college. It takes a while to get certified, so start the process before you discover you need it.
