For parents or guardians with student-specific concerns, please ensure that the student has submitted a FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) form.

Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Staff may ask two questions:

1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

An emotional support animal (ESA) is any animal that is often used as part of a medical treatment plan as therapy, but they are not considered service animals under the American with Disabilities Act. However, based on ADA guidelines, ESAs are considered a reasonable accommodation for students with a documented disability and a physician's specific accommodation. ESAs can be any animal. Students utilizing ESAs must be registered through DSS.

Call 911. However, the student can refuse service and/or transport once first responders arrive. This releases Wake Tech from liability.

No, extra time can be provided by DSS or the eLTC. Students must submit a test request at least seven days before the test or quiz, and you will be notified of their request.
