Solutions Recommended Syllabus Content Concerning Disabilities, Religious Observances, Behavior,
Discrimination and Harassment, and the CU Honor Code:
(1) If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to me a letter from
Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs be addressed. Disability Services
determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Willard
322, and www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices.
(2) Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every effort to deal
reasonably and fairly with all students who, because of religious obligations, have conflicts with
scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. See full details at
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html
A comprehensive calendar of the religious holidays most commonly observed by CU-Boulder
students is at http://www.interfaithcalendar.org/
(3) Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning
environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may be subject to discipline.
Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals and
topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender,
gender variance, and nationalities. Class rosters are provided to the instructor with the student's
legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address you by an alternate name or gender
pronoun. Please advise me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make appropriate
changes to my records. See policies at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html and
at http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code

Judicial Affairs at 303-492-5550. Information about the ODH, the above referenced policies and
