Resources for Faculty and Staff

Student Accessibility Services works closely with faculty and staff to ensure approved accommodations are in place for students who are registered with Student Accessibility Services. These resources were created to assist faculty and staff members in understanding their role and our shared responsibilities in working with students with disabilities.

Syllabus Statement

All syllabi must include a syllabus statement informing students about eligibility of academic accommodations. Please include the following information on your syllabus:

Accommodations: Students who need accommodations to complete the requirements and expectations of this course because of a disability are invited to make their needs known to the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Office, E. H. Butler Library 160, (716) 878-4500, email sas@buffalostate.edu or complete their request by filling out the Initial Accommodation Request form.

Students registered with SAS should use the Accommodate Portal to submit their "Semester Request" (Letter of Accommodation) every semester. This letter informs faculty of the student's academic accommodations.
