Sample Course Syllabi Statement

All faculty should include the following statement on all course syllabi:

Reasonable Accommodations for Disabilities 

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµâ€™s Office of Student Accessibility (OSA) provides accommodations to students with disabilities through an interactive process, including appropriate documentation and discussion of the nature of disability and academic needs. To apply for accommodations, students should contact OSA, ideally prior to the beginning of the academic term. OSA can be reached at (310) 506-6500 or the OSA website at /student-accessibility/, which contains further information regarding OSA’s policies and procedures. 

In cases where accommodations are approved by OSA, the student can either send, or ask OSA to send, the accommodation letter to the faculty member(s) for the class(es) in which the student would like to utilize the accommodations, at which point the faculty member(s) will have the opportunity to object if the approved accommodation is inappropriate for the particular class(es). Should the need for accommodation arise during the term, students are encouraged to get in touch with OSA as soon as possible to discuss potential accommodations and appropriate implementation for the remainder of the course. Kindly note that disability-related accommodations are not available unless and until approved by OSA and, when approved, such accommodations do not operate retroactively.
