Weatherford College Disabilities and Accommodations recommends specific accommodations based upon documentation received and individual class requirements. The following examples of common accommodation requests may not be appropriate in all situations.

*These examples are not an exhaustive listing of all possible accommodations that may be implemented in the classroom setting*

Testing accommodations may include extended time, reduced-distraction testing situations, taped or orally-administered tests, alternate test formats, readers, and/or scribes. Students should discuss testing accommodations with their instructors at the beginning of each term.

Students may be permitted to tape record class lectures and/or may request peer note takers. The Office of D&A and faculty may assist in arranging for peer note takers.

The college offers assistance with document readers and other adaptive computer technology; however, advanced notice is needed for preparations to implement this accommodation.
Academic assistance may be provided through scribes, readers and/or sign language interpreters. However, federal law does not require the college to provide services that place an undue administrative or financial burden upon the college.
