Student Accessibility Statement: If any student requires academic accommodation for accessibility, please contact your instructor by the second week of class. Students with accessibility needs should work with the Student Accessibility Office (SAO) to discuss various options for removing barriers in this course, including establishing an official accommodations action plan. Contact the Student Accessibility Office at (804) 524-5061 or Memorial Hall, room 101 (M - F 8 AM – 5 PM), to coordinate your reasonable accommodations. If you have already been approved for accommodations through the Student Accessibility Office, please meet with me to develop an implementation plan.
