Notetaking Assistance. Paid notetakers provide class notes for students who, because of their disability are unable to take class notes themselves. The notes are placed in a labeled folder for the student with a disability to pick up at his/her convenience.

Test-Taking Assistance. Disability Services Office provides both test proctoring and test-taking assistance to students with disabilities.  Extended time testing can be arranged with advance notice and when it is justified by circumstances of the test and/or disability.  Every effort will be made to ensure that adequate time is provided to complete a test.  Testing methods and policies are established by each individual instructor, in consultation with the student and Disability Services.  All alternative testing arrangements must be made through the ESS assistant or Disability Services at least one full week in advance of the test.

Strict standards of academic conduct will be enforced when students are taking exams in the resource center. Disciplinary action will be taken towards any student believed to be engaging in academic misconduct. Disciplinary procedures will be handled through academic channels, not by Disability Services. The Disability Services office will not advocate on behalf of a student allegedly engaged in academic misconduct.

• Advocacy and mediation with faculty and other UW-Green Bay personnel
