Schedule an appointment today - phone: (920) 465-2841 or dis@uwgb.edu. The purpose of this meeting is to share information about the nature of the disability, the requested accommodations, and the *Disability Services' policies regarding documentation and provision of services. Federal regulations require that the Disability Services Office* have on file documentation of disability and eligibility for services before any services are provided. Typical documentation should be by a qualified individual in the field of your disability (physician, psychologist or psychiatrist).

	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.

They include: Advocacy and mediation with faculty and other UW-Green Bay personnel Books on tape Arranging laboratory assistants for students Providing readers for students with visual impairments and learning disabilities Orientation and mobility instruction for students with visual and/or mobility impairments Typing assistance Audio players are available for short term use Training and use of adaptive equipment in DS Resource Rooms Liaison role with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and other agencies Providing information on adaptive technology and community agencies Priority for assignment of a campus locker Arranging a sign language interpreter for classes Enlarging materials Identifying preferential seating Identifying students who require priority registration Library assistance Refer students to on-campus tutoring, support, and any other services available
