  4. INTRODUCTION TO THE SDRC The Student Disability Resource Center, a unit of the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, is committed to providing an equal educational opportunity for all qualified students with disabilities. The staff of this office are responsible for the coordination of all services for students with disabilities. Our objectives are to provide reasonable academic accommodations and coordinate appropriate services based on the student’s individual needs.

  7. INFORMATION FOR OUR NEW PARENTS Welcome to the team!!

  8. INFORMATION FOR OUR NEW PARENTS Tue, 28 Apr 2009 Good evening, my name is *&^%$ and I enrolled in GSU in 2005. My mother and I met with you prior to my first semester here during my SOAR session. After that meeting I don't believe I ever set foot in the SDRC ever again…. Unfortunately that was my biggest mistake to date. I was put on academic exclusion after my 2nd year for an unsatisfactory GPA. I now face exclusion again because I was not able to bring my GPA up to a 2.0 after a full year

  9. INFORMATION FOR OUR NEW PARENTS 11/9/2008 “I don’t know if you remember me, but my mom and you and I sat down and talked last summer at SOAR about me getting me enrolled with SDRC. I should have followed up with this last semester, but I guess I can’t go back and change it, though I would in a heartbeat…… I know I’m over my head right now in terms of, well a lot of things…. I’m really in a bind here and am trying to salvage what I can before it’s too late.”

  10. IMPORTANT DATES September 22 Did my student pick up Accommodations Letters and return contracts ? October 10 Did my student receive any U grades? Has my student meet with an SDRC staff member to make a decision about dropping classes? (October 17 - Last Day to Withdraw Without Penalty).

  11. IMPORTANT DATES October 21 Is my student scheduled for early registration? (October 24 -28 early registration) November 1 Did my student participate in early registration? December 5 Has my student set up test proctoring for final exams?
