Student Accessibility Services
UW Colleges provides a Faculty/Staff Guide for Accessibility Services.
The Faculty Room (University of Washington) is a space for faculty and administrators at postsecondary institutions to learn about how to create classroom environments and activities that maximize the learning of all students, including those with disabilities.
FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.
Student Mental Health
Students' mental health concerns directly impact academic performance and achievement. Here is a guide for faculty and staff members to help recognize and assist the emotionally distressed student. Students who are troubling can be referred to the campus Threat Assessment Group (TAG) Team to discuss concerns and determine appropriate steps to take. Mental health counseling services are now available both on-campus and in the community.
