Reducing Barriers in an E-Learning Environment

“A collaborative effort”

Learning accommodations are intended to provide equal access to education by removing barriers for students with documented needs.  Accommodations must be reasonable and they should not diminish the expectation of knowledge or skill.  Today's technology provides a lot of resources and accessibility tools to help students navigate the E-Learning environment. If you believe that you may need accommodations, please visit and explore the Abilities Office. website.
