Student Resources:
General Academic Support
There are a range of resources available to Emory undergraduates designed to enrich each student’s educational experience.
Visit http://college.emory.edu/advising for a list of support programs and appointment directions
Access and Disability Services
As this is a class explicitly about disability you might not be all that surprised to find that I am committed to making my classroom as accessible and inclusive as possible for all students. Thus, if you have a disability and/or medical/health condition that might impact academic success you should visit Access, Disability Services and Resources (ADSR formerly the Office of Disability Services, ODS) to determine eligibility for appropriate accommodations. Students who receive accommodations must present the Accommodation Letter from ADSR to your professor at the beginning of the semester, or when the letter is received. Access, Disability Services and Resources is located in room 110 of the Administrative Building at the end of the Quad and their website is: http://www.ods.emory.edu. In addition to dealing with ADSR, you should contact me directly as soon as possible as I am happy to work with you individually to make my class accessible for you. Please keep in mind that while I am happy to work with you to help make our classroom and my practices accessible for you, I cannot do so if you do not make me aware of your needs and/or any problems you are having in class.
Emory Counseling Services
Again, as was the case with the Office of Disability Services, given the content of this class you should not be surprised to find that I highly recommend taking advantage of the Emory Counseling Center if you feel as though you might benefit from the services they can provide. The Counseling Center is staffed by trained professionals who are best positioned to help you and their services are free/reduced cost for all students. They are also conveniently located at 1462 Clifton Road, Suite 235. You can find out more about them at the following site: http://studenthealth.emory.edu/cs/
Academic Advising and Class Deans
If you have any academic concerns or questions about Emory College of Arts and Sciences policies, you should first meet with an Office for Undergraduate Education (OUE) academic adviser. If an academic adviser is unavailable to meet with you, you may meet with an OUE dean during open hours. The OUE central office is located in White Hall 300. Please visit or call 404.727.6069 with questions about academic affairs, concerns or policies.
All Emory College of Arts and Sciences policies may be found in the College Catalog: http://college.emory.edu/home/academic/catalog/index.html

ESL Services
If you are a non-native English speaker there are a wide variety of resources available to help you including a dedicated office for ESL issues with a tutoring service and trained specialists. To find out m0re about those resources, please go to the following site: http://college.emory.edu/home/academic/learning/esl. Also, please feel free to come talk to me about such issues and/or any anxieties you might have regarding language proficiency, as I would be happy to work with in order to help you have a productive experience in our classroom.
The Emory Writing Center
The Emory Writing Center staff includes talented and welcoming undergraduate and graduate students from a range of disciplines. They are eager to work with all writers at all stages of the composing process. Whether you are exploring ideas, revising a draft, or polishing a final version of a project, the Writing Center is the place for you. We offer discussion-based tutorials for individuals and groups that enable writers to approach their work with fresh eyes and to practice strategies for writing, revising, and editing. Tutors can talk with you about the purpose, organization, and audience of your work, your design choices, or how you engage other texts. They can also work with you on sentence-level concerns, including grammar, syntax, and word choice; however, they will not proofread for you. Instead, they will discuss strategies and resources you can use to become a better editor of your own work.
The Writing Center is located in Callaway N212. Regular appointments are 45 minutes long. You should bring a copy of your assignment, any relevant writing (notes, a draft, the url for your website, etc.) and a plan for what you want to work on. If you have a laptop, we encourage you to bring it. In addition to our regular appointments, we also offer walk-in visits, a good resource when you have a quick question or can’t get an appointment. To view our hours, make an appointment, and get more information, go to writingcenter.emory.edu.
The entire Writing Center staff has been specifically trained to support Domain of One’s Own students. By talking with a tutor, you can more critically consider the purpose, design, and usability of your digital texts. You can also work with a tutor to troubleshoot technical matters; however, you should consult the Domain student resource pages first. In most cases, you will be able to solve tech troubles on your own, reserving your Writing Center appointments for discussions about how your technical choices—along with other choices—affect your larger aims.
Domain on One's Own Walk-in Studio Hours
In addition to the Writing Center, where all the staff are prepared to help you with your Domain-based projects, the Emory Writing Program will be offering walk-in hours from 3-5 pm on Wednesdays in Callaway N204, during which you can consult with staff on your sites and Domain-related projects.
