Accessible Education Center

Students who need accommodation due to a disability must register with SJSU’s Accessible Education Center (AEC). The Center will work with the students to determine the disability, document it, and determine the services and accommodations necessary for student success. Then, the AEC will contact the faculty member to determine the types of consideration necessary.

The AEC Web site: www.sjsu.edu/aec

New students should contact Dr. Alman when enrolling in their first courses, so that Dr. Alman can make captioning arrangements each semester. More information is available on the school’s Accessibility Policy.
