STUDENTS WITH LEARNING AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES
SUNY-ESF works with the Center for Disability Services (CDR) at Syracuse University, who is responsible for coordinating disability-related accommodations. CDR is responsible for coordinating disability-related academic accommodations and will work with the student to develop an access plan. Since academic accommodations may require early planning and generally are not provided retroactively, please contact CDR as soon as possible to begin this process. To discuss disability-accommodations or register with ODS, please visit their website at https://disabilityresources.syr.edu. Please call (315) 443-4498 or email CDRaccommodate@syr.edu for more detailed information.

INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE STATEMENT
As an institution, we embrace inclusive excellence and the strengths of a diverse and inclusive community. During classroom discussions, we may be challenged by ideas different from our lived experiences and cultures. Understanding individual differences and broader social differences will deepen our understanding of each other and the world around us. In this course, all people (including but not limited to, people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, students undergoing transition, religions, ages, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, veteran status, regions and nationalities, intellectual perspectives and political persuasion) are strongly encouraged to respectfully share their unique perspectives and experiences. This statement is intended to help cultivate a respectful environment, and it should not be used in a way that limits expression or restricts academic freedom at ESF.
