I.
New SAC DSP&S Syllabus Statement (Approved by the academic senate)
a. Your success in this course is important to me. Santa Ana College and I are committed
to providing reasonable accommodations for all individuals with disabilities. If you have
a disability that may have some impact on your ability to do well in this course, I
encourage you to speak with me as soon as possible. Also, please contact Disabled
Student Programs & Services so that we can all collaborate on your classroom
accommodations in a timely manner. DSP&S is located in U-103 and their phone
number is 714-564-6264. The DSP&S office requires documentation of your disability in
order to receive reasonable accommodations. If you do not have documentation they
will work with you to acquire it. I look forward to supporting you to meet your learning
goals.
