Welcome to M6 - Ozark Campus. Student Accommodations are managed by the Student Success & Disability Services Coordinator at the ATU - Ozark Campus. We are committed to an inclusive educational environment and actively promote the removal of barriers related to disability. We work with each student to formulate a plan unique to their circumstances taking into account their learning history and personal experiences.
Students must self-disclose their disability status and formally seek adjustments through the Student Success & Disability Services Coordinator. Requests for accommodations should be initiated in a timely manner to allow for the coordinator of services with faculty and staff. Accommodations are not retro-active, therefore students are encouraged to request accommodations and meet with the Student Success & Disability Services Coordinator prior to the start of classes or early in the semester if they suspect an accommodation to be necessary.
Note: Although documentation is not necessary to initiate this process, the Student Success & Disability Services Coordinator reserves the right to request formal documentation as an aid in determining appropriate adjustments on behalf of the university.
The ATU-Ozark Disability Services Office requests that students seeking accommodations submit information describing their disability, their past use of accommodations, and the likely impact of the disability on their educational experiences. Types of helpful documentation supportive of such requests include medical records, psycho-educational testing reports, and school records. If students do not have this documentation readily available, they are encouraged to meet with the Student Success & Disability Services Coordinator to discuss other ways to demonstrate a connection between their condition and any academic barriers they anticipate in the university environment.
The ATU-Ozark Disability Services Officewill consider all forms of documentation including student self-report, observation and interaction with the student, and external information from outside sources such as professionals who have diagnosed or treated the condition. External information can be a valuable tool for helping the Student Success & Disability Services Coordinatorunderstand the student's barriers, identify strategies for success, and assign reasonable accommodations which facilitate access.
