Students with disabilities: Students who have been ceritified by the Office of the Dean of Students Adaptive Programs as eligible for academic adjustments should go to MATH 242 with a copy of their certification letter and request an Information Sheet for this semester that explains how to proceed this semester to get these adjustments made in Mathematics courses. It is not the same as last semester. This should be done during the first week of classes. Only students who have been certified by the ODOS-Adaptive Programs and who have requested ODOS to send their certification letter to their instructor are eligible for academic adjustments.
