Syllabi Language

Syllabi Language for Accommodations

The Office of Access and Learning Accommodation suggests using the following language in your syllabi to ensure that students know the process for requesting reasonable accommodations. This may include a statement like this:

Baylor University has a strong institutional commitment to value the dignity and worth of every member of our diverse campus community. As such, our goal is to create learning environments that are equitable, accessible, inclusive, and welcoming. If you anticipate or experience any barriers to learning related to a disability or condition, please schedule a time to meet with the Office of Access and Learning Accommodation (OALA). OALA will work with you to discuss your experiences and a range of options to ensure your full participation and accessibility in this course and others. Once you register with OALA, please feel free to reach out to me to discuss any logistics or planning needed to implement and access your accommodations. More information can be found on OALA’s website: https://oala.web.baylor.edu/ or by emailing them at OALA@baylor.edu
