Help, Accessibility & Accommodations

Learners enter this program with different backgrounds, abilities, schedules, and access to field sites. If a lesson, platform feature, or field requirement creates a barrier, contact the current course support channel and describe the barrier and the help you need. You do not need to disclose sensitive medical details.

Reasonable alternatives should support the same learning outcome whenever possible. No assignment should require trespassing, breaking a law, unsafe handling, unsafe travel, or unsafe environmental exposure. Pause and ask for help if you are uncertain.

Study strategies

  • Work in short sessions when helpful.
  • Revisit lessons and keep notes on key ideas and unfamiliar terms.
  • Break larger activities into smaller steps.
  • Ask questions early when directions or requirements are unclear.

For more info regarding our stance on accommodations (which we feel very strongly about), please visit our Accessibility & Inclusivity page.

What it boils down to is that if you run into any sort of barrier at all, just Contact us and we’ll clear the way.
