Both the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act require that public and private institutions and their members avoid discrimination and provide equal access and opportunity to those with disabilities. Of course, as Christians we follow this responsibility out of love for God and others.
According to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, students are required to self-identify and request needed accommodations. It is not appropriate for a faculty member to ask directly or imply the presence of a disability. However, should the student reveal the presence of a disability and the need for accommodations, you may engage in a conversation with the student about accessing accommodations.
We would welcome you to walk the student to the Academic Resource Center Room 213 to meet and/or schedule an appointment with Amy Streeter, our Accommodations supervisor. If this is not convenient, you may guide the student to go to our web page to request accommodations. You may also direct them to come to the Academic Resource Center on their own as soon as they can to meet and/or schedule an appointment with Amy Streeter, our Accommodations supervisor.
No, they must provide the necessary documentation to demonstrate the need for accommodations, and pay for the evaluations required to obtain that documentation. Students also interview with our Accommodations supervisor to determine their needs and appropriate accommodations.
You may choose to meet with the student to discuss the details of his accommodations letter. The student will be required to provide you a request form for each test/quiz requiring accommodations at least a week prior to the scheduled test. You then attach the form to the test and deliver it to the Testing Center in the Academic Resource Center (AL 208) where the accommodations requested will be implemented. You may also provide access to Power Point notes or other class notes due to auditory processing, visual, or motor coordination issues. You may consult with the Accommodations Supervisor to discuss the specifics of your class as well as best practices to help the student be successful. Our goal is to maintain the academic integrity of your class as well as the overall program while providing accessibility to the student to promote success.
Please select 2-3 names of current or previous A students who would volunteer to be a study group leader and email the list to success@bju.edu. Student leaders are responsible for unlocking & locking the classroom, taking attendance, and maintaining a studious atmosphere. They monitor discussion; they do not reteach the material. A time for the study group to meet will be chosen based on the leader’s availability. Once we have contacted the possible study group leaders and reserved a classroom, we will email you the location and times for your study group.
A study group meets on a weekly basis to review class material for regular-sized classes. The focus of the group is to study together by asking questions. A leader is provided to help monitor conversation, but the leader is not responsible to reteach content to study groups. A review session is held before each test and is designed for large lecture classes. Review session leaders work closely with teachers so they can offer excellent test prep materials to students who attend each review session.
Testing is for students with schedule conflicts to make up any quizzes or tests missed during a regular class period. Also, Accommodations students now take all tests in Testing. Testing does not proctor quizzes or tests for entire classes.
The Writing Center partners with you and your students to assist with the writing process for any written projects required for your class. Writing Center assistants can help students follow assignment instructions, brainstorm for ideas, build an outline, work on organization and logic, improve style, fine tune a revision, or use the CorrectEnglish Web® program for help in checking grammar. Walk-in sessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis, or students may sign up for an appointment through a link on their BJUOnline homepage.
