Agreements

Some of the accommodations provided at SMCM require additional agreements to support their implementation. These agreements are linked below.

Please note: To minimize paper sharing in Fall 2020, many of these agreements processes will be replaced by email communication or Google forms from the Office of Accessibility Services. Agreement documents are included here for reference.
