Course Coordinators for Students with SENs

My student appears to have some kind of signs and symptoms of special needs/ disability and I am concerned about the support to her/him on learning. What should I do

SAO SEN Support would inform the Course Coordinators in the beginning of each semester if there are students with SENs who enrolled their courses. Course Coordinators should follow the instruction to obtain the SEN student list from SAS. If the student could not be found on the list, please encourage the student to find SAO SEN support (FTUG: sao_sen@hkmu.edu.hk; PT/DL: dl_sen@hkmu.edu.hk) for assistance.

My student self-discloses that s/he has SENs and requests for extended time for an assignment of my class. S/he has not spoken with SAO SEN Support / a counsellor / his course coordinator. What should I do?

Course Coordinators can encourage the student with SENs to contact SAO SEN Support (FTUG: sao_sen@hkmu.edu.hk; PT/DL: dl_sen@hkmu.edu.hk) for assistance.

My student shows me her academic accommodation plan issued by his/her previous school, the examination authority or medical professionals and requests for implementing all of the listed items in my class. Some of them seem not applicable. Who should I talk to?

Course Coordinators/Lecturers/ Professors or other teaching staff are encouraged to carry out special in-class accommodation. After learning the situation from the student, you have the final rights to decide the in-class accommodation plan for the student with SEN needs.

Is there any Guideline for me to reference?
