If the student failed to notify to the professor that he is learning disabled past a certain point. Does the professor have a right to deny the student those accommodations for the remainder of the semester/session ?
I was under the impression that the office of disability had already notified him before hand. But that turned out not to be the case.

You have to give reasonable notice that you require accommodation. A story from my past: I was a teaching assistant for a class, and part of my job was to grade all of the papers and tests. I had a policy of not accepting late exams (clearly with an exception for students who had gone through the disabilities office and gotten an accommodation plan). One student failed to inform me of this accommodation and didn’t turn the paper in on time. The professor hadn’t said anything to me either. It was by accident that I found out the student required extra time on papers.

The simple fact of the matter is that people can’t accommodate you if they don’t know you need the accommodations. As an adult, it is your responsibility to make sure you get what you need. If that means you need special accommodations in classes, or you think you might, it is your responsibility to follow your school’s procedures for having a plan drawn up and then notifying your professors that you need the accommodations in a timely manner.

ETA: In every school I have attended, the responsibility for notifying the professor has fallen on the student. It’s also something you might want to make a habit of doing in the future just in case, because even if the policy at your school is for the office to notify the professor, mistakes happen.

I would love to spend a semester as an undergrad teaching in a Native American reservation. Is there a program out there that will enable me to do this?

Hello, I am Native American. I grew up on a rural reservation near the Four Corners Region. Northern Arizona University has a large student population of Native Americans and teachers who often work with Native American students in the Four Corners Region. Here are some links. I work now in the southeastern USA as an engineer. But I recently returned to Arizona and hiked up Mt. Humphrey with a local teacher who studied at NAU. She said she had taught a lot of Navajo students. The teacher was white but did have some Apache ancestry (1/16). Most of the Navajos are still registered as 4/4.

Historically, many Native Americans were killed off by smallpox or other diseases after 1492. The remnants largely intermarried with European colonists. So there is only a small percentage of full-blooded Native Americans left, and most of them are in the Four Corners Region. If you go to Oklahoma, most of the "Native Americans" are part white with Caucasian features. It’s the same way in the midwest or east coast. For example, Heather Locklear is part Lumbee from North Carolina but looks white. The Four Corners region still has many tribal communities where the indigenous language is still spoken.

I have friends who volunteered for a year and taught on the Navajo Reservation. But they were Catholic and used the Catholic Network of schools on the reservations. This was their link.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has a good website. I applaud you for your desire to teach on a reservation. I left years ago but never forgot my heritage. The best way for me to socialize off the reservation has been through basketball. That sport is very popular on the reservations.

Made a reservation months ago and I forgot which hotel it was. I’ve checked for a confirmation email and couldn’t find one. Contacted the credit card company for the credit card I used for the reservation and they don’t show there being a hold on my account. What should I do? The reservation is for 8/5/11.
Yes, I know the city. There is no way I can possibly contact every hotel and ask if I have a reservation there.

Did you make the reservation online only? If so the suggestion to check your browser history is a good one.

Did you by chance call the hotel? If so, you should be able to check your phone records from around the time the reservation was made and figure it out that way.

Generally, a credit card is not charged for reservations until the day of your check-in, when you sign for it. (They usually only charge you if you are there, unless a deposit was required.) Sorry to say, but calling around to the hotels may be the only way to get out of paying a missed booking fee.

My washing machine is not functioning. Customer care people recorded the issue and send one person to rectify. But he is asking more money to fix that issue and they are not giving any warranty after repair. This I verified with other service providers and understand that, once they create invoice they have to give minimum warranty for the service they render. But these people not ready to give any warranty. I need to lodge a complaint on this. Please help me.

Read Consumer Protection act, 1986 — It is freely available online just Google "Consumer Protection Act, 1986.".– so as to know the complete procedure — it is quite simple.
