Customizing Student Expectations to include local accessibility and academic support information

Because courses are designed for use across states/districts/schools, instructors are responsible for adding organization-specific information about accessibility services and academic support resources. This information should be included in the Student Expectations section of the syllabus so students clearly understand how to access support. The guidance and template below will help you localize the course.

1. Identify your institution's support contacts. Gather the following:
    

   Accessibility and Accommodations	Name of the office, team, or individual responsible for accessibility and accommodations (for example, Disability Services Office, Accessibility Services, ADA Coordinator). Contact information (email, phone number, website, or ticketing system). Brief description of how students request accommodations.
   Academic Support Services	Available academic support resources (for example, tutoring, writing center, advising, library support, technical support). How students access these services (for example, website links, appointment systems, in-person locations).

2. In the Student Expectations section of the syllabus, scroll to the bottom and click Add More.
   

3. Copy and paste the following language into the text field. Then, customize the information in brackets:
