Students are encouraged to connect with the course instructor as soon as possible should any concerns arise during the semester to allow for timely problem-solving. If you are seeking disability accommodations, or you think you may have a disability, contact Student Accessibility Services to begin the process of seeking official accommodations.

FlyerSuccess is an early alert system used to inform you of specific concerns and support systems in place to help you succeed in this course. If you receive an email from FlyerSuccess it is an indication that you should come meet with me to discuss the concerns. FlyerSuccess also provides extensive options for other academic support services.
