Library Assistant
If an approved accommodation for the student involves assistance with the use of the library, the student may arrange the volunteer services through the Nexus eAccommodations online request system. Requests must be submitted five (5) full business days prior to the needed date.
Once a volunteer has been identified, the student needs to remember this point, which appears in the Contract of Responsibilities:
It is the student's responsibility to contact the appropriate person when the student needs to cancel an appointment. For example, the student needs to call his/her volunteer if canceling any appointment with the volunteer or if the student does not need a volunteer's service.
The student needs to inform the Accommodations Office if the services of any volunteer is no longer needed. The volunteer may then be available to assist another student.
Disability Related Special Parking Permits
Disability Concerns will provide Parking and Transportation Services verification of appropriate special-parking designation based on disability-related needs. No special parking permits will be issued until a parking tag is purchased. All parking accommodations must be approved by Disability Concerns and meet documentation requirements. These permits, issued for a specific length of time, allow students with appropriately documented needs to park in the faculty/staff (red tag) lots closer to class buildings than the student (green and blue tag) lots.
State Designated Accessible Parking Spaces
If the student has the State of Illinois tag or license plate permit to use accessible parking spaces (designated on campus by a blue wheelchair sign), the student should take his/her tag or vehicle registration to Parking and Transportation Services and purchase the appropriate University parking tag. No form from Disability Concerns is needed. Parking Services will forward information to Disability Concerns.
