Hey, students! Here's what to do if you have, or suspect you have, a disability or long-term/substantial illness or injury which impacts your learning:
- Make an appointment with Josephine Finen at josephine.finen@principia.edu. Feel free to bring a friend or professor, if you'd like to.
- Bring documentation if you have it (IEP, 504 Plan from a prior school/college, documents from certified specialists, etc.).
- If you don't have documentation, we have assessments tools we can use to help determine areas of strength and needs.
- During the initial meeting, we will primarily discuss your experience and concerns. Subsequent meetings will be organized around your academic needs.
Some examples of what may be recommended after a documentation review and/or assessment could be:
- developing skills to improve academic performance, which can be done independently or with the support of the Academic Success Coordinator and/or
- developing an accommodations letter if faculty will need to be involved in academic success strategies
For more specific information, review the Principia College Academic Accessibility Guide.
