Student Services

Student Accessibility Services

Students coming to college with a chronic illness, such as diabetes, are encouraged to register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS). SAS can assist students by notifying professors of considerations that may need to be made to help you manage your diabetes. This might include the need to eat during class time or alerting them that you wear an insulin pump and it may sound like a cell phone. SAS will also help make accommodations for students who may have to miss an exam due to a high or low blood sugar spike.
