I do not work in our financial aid department, but as I understand there is a separation of duties regarding which financial aid analysts can compile the financial aid plan for students who are then transitioned to another financial aid representative who assists them as they are continuing students. The duties of the financial aid department cannot be duplicated by anyone in the enrollment or registrar department.

The Accomodation Process.....

Delta is great and very concerned about its students. This shows in the day to day processes, especially for those students who do need special accomodations.

The Impact of Disability in the Classroom...

Those who are disbled should receive the same opportunity as others when education is involved. However, when in a classroom and certain distractions or outbursts are created they do need to be addressed. One person can prevent the whole class from being able to learn properly, whether they are disabled or not.

Students w/ Disabilities

I think it is awesome that we can accomodate those who are disabled. Everyone should have the opportunity to further their education, no matter what the situation.
