Recommended Disability Statement for Syllabi

UMBC is committed to eliminating discriminatory obstacles that may disadvantage students based on disability.  

Student Support Services (SSS) is the UMBC department designated to: 

  • receive and maintain 
  • confidential files of disability-related documentation, 
  • certify eligibility for services, 
  • determine reasonable accommodations, 
  • develop with each student plans for the provision of such accommodations, and 
  • serve as a liaison between faculty members and students regarding disability-related issues.

If you have a disability and want to request accommodations, contact SSS in 

Math/Psych Room 213 or 

Sherman Hall, Room 345 

(or call 410-455-2459 or 410-455-3250). 

SSS will require you to provide appropriate documentation of disability and complete a Request for Services form available at http://sss.umbc.edu.  

If you require accommodations for this class, make an appointment to meet with me to discuss your SSS-approved accommodations.
