4. Academic Support
All CAS students are eligible for individual consultations about study strategies, time management, academic expectations, and effective communication. Free tutoring is also available through Academic Support.
Please contact the Director of Academic Support Center Aspen Padilla (Salem) and Assistant Director Noni Villalobos (PNCA).
5. Field Placement Positions (Internships)
Students considering a practicum off campus need to discuss accommodation needs in a timely manner with the Accessible Education Services office and practicum supervisor. The student should request a position description that clearly identifies the essential functions of the field placement position. Accommodations become a collaborative process utilizing multiple resources.
6. International Education
ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ University offers study abroad and off-campus study opportunities in the form of semester and summer programs. All students are encouraged to consider participating in off campus studies and internships. Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to plan early for this opportunity as host sites are not necessarily experienced in providing accommodations. It would be prudent to include the Accessible Education Services office in the process to assist in reviewing the primary activities of the program and the overall living conditions to determine compatibility with needs.
For more information, visit International Education.
7. Parking Permits/Campus Safety
Students holding a DMV-issued permit, may present that to the Office of Public Safety with a request to purchase an all-campus permit that will allow parking in designated accessible spaces on campus.
