To receive academic adjustments, you must present appropriate documentation to the Office of Accessibility Services. You will also need to complete a registration form. The director will determine what services you may be eligible to receive. The services will be determined based on the provided documentation, any necessary discussions with faculty, and the course in question.
If you are determined to be eligible for testing adjustments, possible accommodations include extended time (e.g., 1.5x) and/or a reduced-distraction environment for taking the test. If tests are to be taken in a distraction-reduced environment, the student is responsible for scheduling their test with the Department of E-Learning and Testing Services.
There are several private psychologists and psychiatrists who can do this type of testing. Ask your doctor if they can recommend one. You can also get tested by Counseling Services in the Student Health Center. Vocational Rehabilitation is also another possibility; however, you must meet their eligibility requirements.
Some students may be eligible for early registration. If eligible, this allows you to plan your schedule optimally and enroll in classes at the buildings and times that are easiest for you. In some cases, it may be possible to change the classroom. However, some classes cannot be changed due to required equipment (e.g., computer labs, chemistry labs) or class size. These requests will be taken on a case-by-case basis.
I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
