Accessibility Services

A reasonable academic accommodation is a modification or adjustment to an academic program that enables an otherwise qualified individual with a disability equal access to participation in University-sponsored programs. A reasonable accommodation does not require a fundamental alteration of a program.

It is the student’s responsibility to contact you regarding accommodation needs. The student will have a letter from Accessibility Services detailing any accommodation(s). Once they have initiated the conversation, you can discuss with the student how to appropriately provide the accommodation. If you need assistance with the process or providing accommodations, contact Accessibility Services at TJU_CC_AccessibilityServices@Jefferson.edu or 215-503-6531.

Reasonable accommodations are determined through a collaborative, individualized, and interactive process involving Accessibility Services, student, and a liaison from the academic department. If you have any questions, please contact Accessibility Services at TJU_CC_AccessibilityServices@Jefferson.edu or 215-503-6531.

Faculty members can arrange to have an exam proctored in their department or can request a proctor through Accessibility Services (see below). Exams should be proctored by an approved individual who will monitor the student taking an exam in a quiet study space.

Complete the Online Proctor Request Form. Once we have received your request, we will contact you to confirm if a proctor is available. The Office of Student Affairs will do everything to honor this request; however, we cannot guarantee a proctor will be available for the requested time. Please submit your request seven days in advance of the exam. For requests sooner than seven days, submit the form (below) and contact Ethan.Wasserman2@jefferson.edu as soon as possible. See the section below for more details.
