The academic support specialist will assist each professor with these modifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instructors are also expected to treat FUTURE students as they would any student in their class. FUTURE students should be given all of the same opportunities and assignments as their peers. Although modifications to these assignments may be necessary, FUTURE students should not be exempt or excluded from any assignments, group projects, or expectations of the class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Communication with the academic support specialist is another responsibility of audit instructors. The academic support specialist is there to assist professors with any modifications, accommodations, and questions they may have.
