Access and Inclusion for Students with Disabilities:

PSU values diversity and inclusion; we are committed to fostering mutual respect and full participation for all students. My goal is to create a learning environment that is equitable, useable, inclusive, and welcoming. If any aspects of instruction or course design result in barriers to your inclusion or learning, please notify me. The Disability  Resource Center (DRC) provides reasonable accommodations for students who encounter barriers in the learning environment.

If you have, or think you may have, a disability that may affect your work in this class and feel you need accommodations, contact the Disability Resource Center to schedule an appointment and initiate a conversation about reasonable accommodations. The DRC is located in 116 Smith Memorial Student Union, 503-725-4150, drc@pdx.edu, https://www.pdx.edu/drc.

• If you already have accommodations, please contact me to make sure that I have received a faculty notification letter and discuss your accommodations.
• Students who need accommodations for tests and quizzes are expected to schedule their tests to overlap with the time the class is taking the test.
• Please be aware that the accessible tables or chairs in the room should remain available for students who find that standard classroom seating is not useable. 
• For information about emergency preparedness, please go to the Fire and Life Safety webpage(https://www.pdx.edu/environmental-health-safety/fire-and-life-safety) for information.

Title IX reporting:

As an instructor, one of my responsibilities is to help create a safe learning environment for my students and for the campus as a whole.  Please be aware that as a faculty member, I have the responsibility to report any instances of sexual harassment, sexual violence and/or other forms of prohibited discrimination.  If you would rather share information about sexual harassment, sexual violence or discrimination to a confidential employee who does not have this reporting responsibility, you can find a list of those individuals. For more information about Title IX please complete the required student module Creating a Safe Campus in your D2L.

Accommodated Testing:

All accommodated tests should be scheduled during the first week of term through either the SHAC Testing Services or the CEE & MME (CEME) Testing Center. The CEME Testing Center requires all bookings to be requested at least 7 days prior to the exam date. The center may not be able to proctor your exam if notice is less than 7 days. CEME Testing Center requires a copy of your DRC accommodation letter to complete your booking. All proctored exam dates and times must be approved by your instructor prior to booking.

• SHAC Testing Services: Schedule through https://www.pdx.edu/shac/testing-services
• CEME Testing Center: Email cemetesting@pdx.edu

Note: The CEME Testing Center will only proctor exams for students who have DRC accommodations and/or emergency situations (with instructor approval).
