Step 6: Ensure Content Accessibility

For known students with disabilities connected with Accommodations (which would have been identified through a previously received  Accommodations Notification Letter from the Accommodations services office), the transition to an online course may pose some academic barriers that may warrant reasonable accommodations. The good news is there are a number of resources and tools available for you to use in the Accessibility Resources course. 

If a student connected with accommodations contacts you about necessary online accommodations, do your best to address. The bottom line is, during a campus emergency, do what you can to help your students and don’t let it overwhelm you. However, if a student has a need that you can’t address or if you need assistance in making your course accessible, please contact the Academic Success Center at 217-875-7211, x6379 or accom@richland.edu
