Supporting Students Series: Myths Surrounding Academic Accommodations for Students

Friday, September 26, 2025 :: 11:30-12:30 PM

Hybrid | Hyflex

Intended Audience: CMU Faculty

Facilitated by: Student Disability Services Staff

Working with students who have disabilities may seem like a challenge, but the reality is that you likely already do so every day without even knowing it! Let’s talk about this population of students at CMU in terms of what you are required to do under the law and when you can make exceptions for students, whether they are registered with SDS or not. Bring your questions, curiosity, and competitive spirit as the Student Disability Services team discusses the accommodation process here at CMU and as we debunk some common disability-related myths.

Lunch will be provided.
