    2. Campus policy in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act: “If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours.  Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities register with SJSU Disability Resource Center to establish a record of their disability.”

      6. particularly the add/drop policy. It is your responsibility to know and observe these policies. However, if there is something about a policy that you don't understand, please feel free to ask! You can also find answers to many questions at the Student Advising Center. Note that this semester the last day to drop without consequence is Friday, Sept. 5, and the last day to add is Friday, Sept. 12. After these dates it becomes very difficult to drop or add a class, so be sure you are in good shape before these dates arrive!
