Adaptive Services - Faculty

Welcome to the Adaptive Services Faculty Canvas Community!

Adaptive Services utilizes Canvas to communicate important information to instructors about students with documented disabilities in their courses. It is essential for instructors to have access to this information, which can be found in the Modules section,  to ensure that instructors are informed about their roles in the accommodation process. Having this information readily available can help instructors support their students effectively. Adaptive Services strives to facilitate understanding and readiness for any accommodations that may be needed.

All students registered with Adaptive Services will automatically have access to Clockwork, our online management system for the following capabilities:

• Students will have their accommodation letters emailed as a pdf attachment from the Adaptive Services to each of their instructors at the beginning of the semester, or upon registering for services and accommodations with our office. Please be aware that the accommodations listed are what the students are entitled to, based on their disability. Some accommodations listed may not apply in your specific course due to the format or structure of the course. For your reference, a list of common accommodations and explanations can be viewed in the Module section.
• Request note takers for selected courses. While student accommodation letters may list note taking as an ADA entitled accommodation, utilizing that accommodation is at the discretion of the student and dependent on the format of the course, among other reasons. Consequently, we are requesting instructors to hold off on making any announcements for a note taker unless specifically asked to do so via email. In other words, the request for a note taker is initiated by the student, not the accommodation letter, and is  done through our online Clockwork Management System by the student.
• Students are now able to book tests online! All students registered with Adaptive Services who have a testing accommodation are able to book their tests, quizzes, and exams using our Clockwork online management system. You can find written directions, as well as a video tutorial on your role as the instructor, in the Testing Module. To access the instructor portal to Clockwork, click on this link: Clockwork Portal
