Instructors may receive notifications that students enrolled in their courses are registered for services with Disability Support Services (DSS) and are approved for academic accommodations. Academic accommodations are approved by DSS for students with disabilities, in accordance with federal and state laws, on an individual basis and are designed to ensure access to Mines' courses, programs, and activities.
This article contains instructions for using Canvas to fulfill some common types of requests for accommodation. If you have questions or need help providing an accommodation through Canvas, please submit an Accessibility help request.
