Students with documented disabilities: If you would ordinarily seek accommodations or modifications when taking a face-to-face class on campus, you may find that taking an online class eliminates the need for any adjustments. However, you may find that some accommodations are still necessary to make your online experience fully accessible. We urge you to: 1) make sure that all aspects of this class are accessible to you - and - 2) make sure that all the accommodations you would need in a face-to-face class are appropriately addressed in this class. To discuss your specific requirements, please contact Wesley Satterwhite, Disability Services Coordinator at (828)339-4229 or wesleys@southwesterncc.edu .
