Students with Disabilities: If you have a physical,
psychological, medical, or learning disability that may impact on your
ability to carry out assigned course work, you are strongly urged to
contact the staff in the Disabled Student Services (DSS) office: Room
133 in the Humanities Building; 632-6748v/TDD. The DSS office will
review your concerns and determine, with you, what accommodations are
necessary and appropriate. A written DSS recommendation should be
brought to your lecturer who will make a decision on what special
arrangements will be made. All information and documentation of
disability is confidential. Arrangements should be made early in the
