The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and various state laws prohibit such discrimination. If you need extra assistance with aspects of this course, please contact the Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) or the National Center on Deafness (NCOD). Reasonable and effective accommodations and services will be provided to students if the requests are made in a timely manner and with appropriate documentation in accordance with federal, state, and university guidelines.
