RCPD recommends the use of the following statements for course syllabi, program and event announcements, and scent-controlled environments.
Statement for Course Syllabi
Michigan State University is committed to providing access and inclusion in all programs, services and activities. Disabled persons should contact the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities at 517-884-RCPD or by visiting RCPD’s website to request accommodations. RCPD analyzes disability related barriers the student experiences as well as course objectives and design when making determinations. Additional communication between the student, instructor, and RCPD specialist may be necessary to ensure an accessible classroom experience.
Please send your Accommodation Letter to me as soon as possible so I can ensure proper facilitation of accommodations. Letters for this class should be submitted by [email, Dropbox, upload on D2L, etc.]. Accommodations are not required to be provided prior to me receiving the letter.
*Note for instructors: Disability related barriers can arise at any time, so students should not be required to submit Accommodation Letters by a specific deadline. However, instructors need advance notice to implement accommodations. The timing for this may vary by course (please contact RCPD if you have questions).
Statement for Program and Event Announcements
Michigan State University is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services and activities. Accommodations for persons with disabilities may be requested by contacting [Name, Affiliation, and Contact info] by [date]. Requests received after this date will be honored whenever possible.
Statement for Creating a Scent Controlled Environment
At least one person in this setting reports chemical or scent sensitivity that may adversely impact their participation. We therefore request your cooperation in making this a scent-controlled environment by refraining from the use of scented products whenever possible.
