申请住宿

At Saint Mary's College, what kinds of  students does SDS work with? 

The SDS office works with students with a wide range of disabilities, 包括物理, 心理, 学习的基础, and/or health-related conditions. We work with students with ADHD/ADD, 自闭症谱系的学生, students with vision limitations, deaf or hard of hearing students and students with mobility issues.  We work with students who are experiencing mental health challenges, and those diagnosed bi-polar or with clinical depression.  We work with students who are going through a chronic illness.   我们还帮助那些可能需要临时住宿的学生，比如骨折或脑震荡等短期问题.  我们的办公室在这里为任何因诊断残疾(可见或不可见)或重大医疗问题而可以受益于服务的学生提供服务.

How many students receive accommodations when they go to college? 

Nationally, about 11% of college students disclose a disability and seek services. 然而, it is estimated that many more students do not disclose their disability or request accommodations.

寻求住宿支持的学生是否期望他们的残疾信息会被保密?

是的. 学生残疾服务办公室的记录是私人的，与所有其他学生记录分开保存.  See the Confidentiality section from the Menu for more details.

If a student uses classroom accommodations will his/her classmates be aware of the accommodation?

Other students are not made aware of accommodations by SMC and in most instances, accommodations are not noticeable by classmates.

How do I apply for accommodations at SMC? Do I send the request to the department for which accommodations are needed,  比如住房, 营业厅, 英语系, 等?

住宿要求应直接提交给学生残疾服务办公室，以便获得服务.  SDS办公室将只在需要时与其他部门协调，以便正确实施住宿.  只有那些有合法教育利益的院系才会被告知学生的残疾情况.  If there is not a legitimate educational need to know, information will not be shared with other departments on campus.   To apply for accommodations at SMC, contact the 学生残疾服务 office at 925-631-4358 or fill out this 新生申请 开始吧.

Does it cost anything to apply for or use accommodations?

学生申请住宿或使用SDS批准的住宿不需要任何费用.  Any costs associated with the approved accommodation will be handled by the SDS office.

Does my medical documentation or testing have to be within a certain time frame?

SDS办公室正在寻找“当前”的文件，可能是也可能不一定是“最近”的(意思是在特定的时间范围内)。.  提交当前文件意味着所提供的文件准确反映了学生请求住宿时的残疾和限制.  

If my doctor/provider recommends that I need a certain accommodation, is this guaranteed as an accommodation at SMC?

当SDS办公室与您一起确定适当和合理的住宿时，您的诊断专家的建议将被考虑在内.  After an intake interview between the student and SDS Coordinator, the end result regarding what was determined to be an appropriate accommodation may be the same, but it may also be different than what a diagnosing professional first recommended.  我们与学生单独合作，了解学生以及他们的残疾对他们个人的影响, and then help develop an accommodation plan to address those barriers.

Will my accommodations transfer over from my previous institution? 

Accommodations set up with another institution do not automatically transfer over.  转学生应与SMC学生残疾服务协调员预约入学面试，以讨论SMC提供的住宿.  欢迎转学生分享他们过去在其他机构使用的住宿信息，这些信息将成为录取过程的一部分, 与SMC协调员直接与学生一起确认SMC的最佳住宿条件, 哪个可能是一样的, 或不同的, 比以前使用的要多.

更新住宿

Once I have set up accommodations, what is the process to make sure I can use those accommodations each term from now until I graduate? 

Students must request classroom accommodations each term. Accommodations are reviewed and extended on a case-by-case and class-by-class basis. 另外, 这个快速的过程确保残疾学生保留对住宿要求通知哪些教师的控制权.  学生应该去 SDS在线网站, Sign In, and then follow the steps to renew accommodations each semester.

住宿是如何工作的

How does my faculty member or another department know I have accommodations?

一旦您完成了与SDS一起接受住宿的过程，并且住宿已被批准, the SDS office will notify appropriate personnel on campus about the accommodations.  Please note that we will not disclose the actual disability, only the information that a student has been approved for accommodations.  学生们被鼓励与他们的老师保持开放的交流，但不需要透露实际的残疾. If a student feels comfortable doing so, they are welcome to share information about their disability with others as they would like to, the SDS office will leave that up to the discretion of the student.

• For accommodations that relate to the classroom, 教师通知函将发送给教师，告知需要实施的住宿是什么.  学生应该在学期开始时安排一个时间与教师私下讨论住宿是什么，并确保澄清任何问题，以便教师和学生在住宿方面达成一致.
• 与教室以外的部门有关的住宿将根据需要进行沟通，以确保商定的住宿到位.

If I am approved to take a test in the SDS office, how do I do that?

被批准测试住宿的学生被鼓励提前一周通过在线门户网站注册. Students can follow these instrructions on 如何在SDS中安排测试. 学生也可以拨打925-631-4358给SDS办公室打电话，或者到FAH 190办公室寻求安排考试的帮助.  需要时间来协调从教师那里获得测试和测试说明，并确保测试室的适当空间.  学生将在SDS大楼(FAH190)参加考试，考试/测验/测验将在班级进行的同一天和同一时间进行.  Any exceptions to this must be approved by the faculty member.

Will my accommodations be applicable when I study abroad?

参加海外学习计划或在1月学期出国旅行的学生应在出发日期前至少30天与学生残疾服务预约.   Access and accommodations for individuals with disabilities vary widely country to country.  A collaborative approach between student, 教师主持人, Jan term/study abroad coordinator and the SDS office will be used to review itineraries, 谈论旅行时潜在的限制和障碍，并确定残疾学生在国外旅行时的资源.  

长时间学习是否可以弥补学生的残疾，从而使他/她在考试中取得好成绩?

Although it is important to commit to an appropriate amount of study time, the duration of the study time is not enough to ensure academic success. 辅助技术, 辅导, 替代媒体格式, and many other modifications can improve study time efficiency. 另外, appropriate accommodations will improve a student’s ability to communicate what they know.

住宿设施是否会给残疾学生带来优势，帮助他们平衡事情，从而使他们能够通过课程?

住宿是定制的，以适应残疾人的个人需要，以解决特定的教育障碍. Accommodations are in place to allow a student with disabilities access to educational programs, it does not guarantee success but does help ensure access.
