Greetings from the Accessibility Services Center

For new students: Welcome to UNMC! And for returning students: Welcome back! We hope you all are having a smooth start to the Fall semester.

You may have noticed some changes in the Accessibility Services Center (ASC) office. Jacque Knedler has recently joined the team as the ASC director, and Lauren Reis is the new Academic Accessibility Counselor. They are excited to help grow the ASC department at UNMC. 

Just some friendly reminders from the ASC office: 

• If you require accommodations for a class, be sure you give an accommodation letter to the instructor who is teaching that class. Accommodations are not retroactive, so the earlier the better! 
• If you need adjustments to your accommodation plan, contact the ASC office at UNMCASC@unmc.edu. Lauren or Jacque will be able to help. 
• If your accommodations remain the same for this academic year, you do not need a new letter from the ASC. 
• We have updated our website, check it out!

And something new: 

• Accommodations in clinical placements will now require a separate letter that will look different from your academic accommodation letter. If you are seeking accommodations in the clinical setting, contact the ASC office as soon as possible and make an appointment. 



That's all for now. We will continue to communicate periodically so that you all are aware of any relevant news or updates to the program. Have a great semester!
