Spring 2025 Flashcards
How do you know when additional documentation is needed for an accommodation request?
If the student’s current documentation doesn’t justify the barriers (to access or participate) that the accommodation would remove. You are looking for consistency in the functional limitation. Functional limitations > not fear or discomfort
What should you do if a parent asks you questions about their child/student?
Under FERPA, you cannot share information about a student without consent.
Does FERPA apply to college students who are under the age of 18?
Yes
Can a student’s consent to the release of information be verbal?
Technically, yes, but it should be in writing. There is an information release form specifically for this.
What is the only situation where student information would be released without consent?
For health or safety purposes. Examples: Seizure during class or suicidal thoughts. That said, only RELEVANT and REQUIRED information should be released, not everything.
Should you automatically bring up information release forms to students or parents? (FERPA)
No. You should only do so if the student inquires about it. It should be the student’s choice, and we don’t want to add any additional pressure or have the parents apply pressure for the student to sign off.
What is LRNS 42? Is it transferable?
LRNS 42 is a math support course emphasizing visual and auditory processing skills, techniques, strategies, and self-advocacy. It is transferable to CSUs (not for veterans).
Do students have to repay their financial aid for a failed grade or emergency withdrawal?
Have the student reach out to the financial aid department because this is tricky. It depends on multiple factors, such as the type of aid, whether it’s a one-time occurrence, etc.
Can reduced course load be submitted before a student is enrolled in courses?
It shouldn’t. This should be sent after the student is enrolled in courses. This way, we know how many classes they are taking.
When will additional time management support become unavailable (Denise)?
After June
When are catalog rights updated to a new year?
If a student does not take a class in consecutive fall and spring terms. (Summer does not count)
When do the student’s catalog rights start if they start during a summer semester?
That upcoming fall semester. (The one after the student starts in the summer)
Are ADT’s actually helpful?
Yes! Covers the top 3 priority categories, regardless of local or not.
What is important to know for students who are interested in METC or AUTO?
That usually, courses are only going to be available in the evening
