Faculty members play a key role in identifying students who have not been previously diagnosed. The majority of referrals received by ODS are students who have been referred by a faculty member.  Faculty members may want to refer a student to ODS if after working closely with a student, identifies that a student’s academic performance on exams is inconsistent with his/her effort and apparent knowledge of the material as displayed during class discussions or on other assignments for the course. Students who have an undiagnosed disability also present themselves as hard working and users of tutoring services without seeing positive academic results of their efforts.
