What We Do

Accessibility Map of Campus (coming soon)

 

As you can see, a few graphics may exist on our pages; however, they do not signify anything other than for visual organization and "flavoring". Some text is highlighted in color but only for visual effect. All graphics should have alternative text attached. Please use the items at the top or below to obtain any specific information you may need. 

For information concerning computer technology access, please visit the website of the Assistive Technology Resource Center (ATRC).  Assessments for assistive technology are generated by a referral from RDS. 

For information on Universal Design for the classroom, please visit the Access Project website.

Upcoming Announcements/Events

RDS Annual Pumpkin Pie Open House

Please join us for our annual Pumpkin Pie Open House.  All are invited!

When:    Wednesday, November 4, 2009
Time:     1:00 to 3:00 pm
Where:  100 General Services (RDS office)

Yes, there will be pumpkin pie as well as other stuff (mostly 'bad' for you but what the heck!).  There will also be veggies and fruit for those who can resist the temptations or who have other dietary restrictions. 

Come join us and get a start on celebrating the holidays!

Registration and Finals

If you haven't yet done this, it is time to start thinking about registration for next semester as well as planning for finals.

Be sure you meet with your advisor as soon as you can so that you can be ready to register as soon as you are able.  For those of you who need to have your books converted into alternative text, the sooner you know your schedule, the sooner you can find out what text books you will need and get your requests in to our Alternative Text Services.  The longer you wait to do that, the longer it will be after the semester when you have your books.

For finals, please be aware that you will need to get your requests for Alternative Testing in to the office the Monday BEFORE finals begin.  We have over 500 exams to schedule during finals week and the sooner we have your requests, the better chance you have of getting the optimal accommodations that you need. 

Planning Your Day Time Schedule at Night

If you missed this but are still interested in getting help in organizing yourself, please contact the RDS counslors for more information.  It is never too late to organize!

Questions:  Please contact RDS at 970-491-6385
