Procedures for Obtaining Accessible Desks, Stools, Chairs,
or Other Furniture-related Accommodations

 

Student Responsibilities:

 

  1. Register with the Student Development Center by following appropriate Student Development Center procedures, including providing appropriate documentation to verify disability and validate request for moving a class to an accessible location.
  2. Take advantage of priority registration (see priority registration link www.abac.edu/registrar).
  3. Register for classes and provide a copy of class schedule to the Student Development Center.
  4. Inform the Student Development Center as to any classroom needs involving furniture.
  5. Notify the Student Development Center if accommodation is not available on the first day of class. Likewise, if an accommodation request is made after classes have begun, be sure to let the Student Development Center know if the accommodation does not arrive.
  6. Contact the Student Development Center if the accommodation is moved out of the room or becomes broken or unusable in any way.

Student Development Center Responsibilities:

 

1.      A member of the Student Development Center will present each student’s request to the Academics Division, based on appropriate and approved documentation of the specific disability.

2.      A member of the Student Development Center will coordinate furniture-related accommodations for students through the Academic Division.

3.      If ABAC does not have the particular item needed in inventory, the Student Development Center staff will work with the student and college to order the item or find an alternative solution.

 

Note: Understand that if a  priority registration is not taken advantage of and early notification of the Student Development Center does not occur, or if changes are made to a student’s schedule at the last minute, then delays in the provision of accommodations could be encountered. The accommodation may not be in place the first several days of classes. In some cases it may take up to 3 months to order and secure the necessary furniture. Pre-planning is imperative.
