To the student, accessibility at SJSU means:

• Helping to create an inclusive environment in the classroom that enables all students to be successful in attaining an education, regardless of disability.
• Assisting a person with a disability in the event of an emergency evacuation.
• Assisting a person with a disability in your classroom by volunteering as a note taker or by helping during an emergency evacuation.
• Creating accessible class presentations and projects (e.g.: PowerPoint presentations)
• Understanding that everyone communicates and performs tasks at a different pace and in different ways.
• Discouraging stereotypical behavior.

If you are a student with a disability, this also means:

• Communicating and building a relationship and rapport with your professors so that they understand the ways you learn and express your knowledge.
• Getting more accessible instructional materials (syllabus, hand-outs, captioning, etc.)
• Gaining better access to electronic and information technology.
• Becoming familiar with the resources provided by the Disability Resource Center (DRC) by scheduling an intake appointment to determine eligibility and services.
