    Disability Policy

    “Students with disabilities that may restrict their full participation in the course activities are encouraged to meet with instructor or contact the SVSU Office of Disability Services, Curtis 112 for assistance.  Students with disabilities who seek accommodations must make their request by Contacting the Office of Disability Services located at Curtiss 112, or call 964-7000.    All accommodations must be approved by The Office of Disability Services.”  http://www.svsu.edu/disabilityservices

    Late Add Policy

    Although I would love to teach everyone at any time, it is the position of the Faculty Association at SVSU to not do overloads.  The reason is that overloading courses beyond the existing course caps is bad for everyone.  The course caps were raised in the past in part because we demonstrated that we can teach more and more students per class by accepting overloads.  Fewer students per class reduces the quality of the experience for both students and faculty.  Thank you for your understanding.
