SAS Accommodations During Spring 2021 Term
If you need assistance with accommodation concerns,
please email SAScenter@unf.edu. SAS encourages the use of video conferencing for meetings with our staff.
In-person meetings with SAS staff will be by appointment only. Individual staff
members are available at their university email address during this time. SAS staff contacts are listed on the SAS web site. We ask that students continue to
monitor alerts and the coronavirus website
for updates, resources and FAQs.
General Appointments:
All appointments with SAS (other then exam scheduling)
should be made by emailing the main SAS email account or a specific SAS staff
member (see 'Meet the Staff' page).
The University recognizes that there are some
individuals who are at higher risk from complications arising from coronavirus.
Students can self-identify as high-risk and/or request modifications or
accommodations by submitting a COVID19: High Risk - Request for ReasonableModification or Accommodation Form.
Testing:
In general, only on-campus exams will be administered at SAS. Online exams should be taken at another location and coordinated
directly with your instructor to receive accommodations unless special
arrangement has been made with SAS. Please do not make testing appointments
for online exams through Clockwork. Please email Emily Peterson at SASexams@unf.edu with any questions you have or special considerations needed. Testing rooms
will only be available for students who have an appointment to take an exam and
nothing else (i.e. studying). For sanitary reasons, students will be responsible
to bring all supplies needed for exams (pencils, calculators, etc.). SAS will not have these available.
Students will need to make an appointment to take an exam
in SAS at least 5 business days in advance through Clockwork in myWings. If
this deadline is missed, students can email the SAS Exams email account to
schedule a late exam appointment. We will no longer be using paper late sign-up
forms; hence students should not come to SAS to schedule any exam
appointments.
If you are experiencing symptoms of illness and are
scheduled to take an exam at SAS please contact your Instructor for
permission to reschedule to take your exam at a different time and have your
instructor confirm this with the SAS’s Testing Coordinator.
If a Professor is unable to provide exam accommodations for a SAS registered student in a remote course using Zoom please reach out to Emily Peterson
at the SAS Exams email account for assistance. Faculty who need assistance with
extending time on exams in Canvas should contact (cirtlab@unf.edu).
Deaf/Hard of Hearing Students:
Professors are encouraged to make their recorded lectures or audio recordings accessible by either auto-captioning through Canvas Studio, prerecording lectures to be captioned by CIRT or requesting interpreters for real-time (virtual) class meetings. For assistance with this, please contact Carly Hudson (c.hudson@unf.edu) directly.
Semester Accommodations Renewal:
Students will continue to request accommodations through Clockwork via MyWings -> Student Tools -> Clockwork.
How to complete registration with SAS:
At this time, there will not be in-person SAS registration appointments. As an alternative, our department will be conducting remote registrations. Please continue to submit your disability documentation via Clockwork (MyWings -> Student Tools -> Clockwork -> Online Intake). Guidelines for documentation and forms are on the Student Accessibility Services website. Once a student has submitted their documentation and completed their Online Intake, they will receive an email inviting them to make a virtual registration appointment. India Hamilton will be the point of contact for all registration questions and can be reached at india.hamilton@unf.edu.
Assistive Technology:
Please contact andrew.sullivan@unf.edu if you require course texts in an alternate format or require Assistive Technology resources. Information on how to utilize common assistive software is available upon request.
