Resources for Faculty and Staff

Accessibility is a civil right. The DRC is available to consult on how to provide access to students with disabilities in your classroom.

Teaching Diverse Students

Syllabus Accessibility Statement

Faculty are strongly encouraged to include the NIU Accessibility Statement for Syllabi on all syllabi. Students have the right to request disability-related accommodations whether or not this statement is on your syllabus.

Learn more about making course content accessible through Blackboard Ally.

Student Right to Privacy

Respect the right of students with disabilities to maintain privacy regarding their disability. Requiring a student to disclose a disability is against the law. If you have questions about a student's accommodations, contact the DRC.
