Delta Alpha Pi International Honor Society – Theta Zeta Chapter

Delta Alpha Pi is an academic honor society founded to recognize high-achieving students with disabilities who are attending colleges (including community colleges) and universities as undergraduate or graduate students. This dynamic organization celebrates and supports academic achievement, leadership, and advocacy for post-secondary students with disabilities. Students initiated into Delta Alpha Pi International Honor Society must meet the following criteria:All students must:Present with a documented disability and work with one of the faculty or staff members in the Office of Disability Services, or self-identify as an individual with a disability.Demonstrate an interest in disability issues.Undergraduate students must have:Completed a minimum of 24 credits.Earned an overall Quality Point Average of 3.10 on a 4.00 scale. Our purpose:Because of the negative stereotyping associated with disability, students have been reluctant to identify themselves publicly. Delta Alpha Pi Honor Society presents an opportunity to change that perception by recognizing students with disabilities for their academic accomplishments. In addition, this Honor Society facilitates the development of skills in leadership, advocacy, and education for participating students.Delta – D for Disability, but also the triangle, a symbol of strength. Members of Delta Alpha Pi demonstrate strength as leaders on campus to help break down the barriers of negativism. Also, they serve as mentors and role models for other students with disabilities.Alpha – A for Achievement. Alpha is the beginning and academic achievement must come first. But also, for advocacy because students must advocate for themselves before they can advocate for others. Members of Delta Alpha Pi enhance advocacy skills for themselves and for the rights of all individuals with disabilities to be included fully in society.Pi – P for Pride, pride in academic achievement and in other accomplishments, not just as students with disabilities but as members of the university community. Pi is a mathematical symbol that we all learned to use in elementary arithmetic classes. So Pi is an appropriate symbol for education. Members of Delta Alpha Pi participate in activities designed to educate the community and society regarding the need to apply the principles of universal design in learning.Connect with us on Bucs Corner!

Pregnant Students

Did you know pregnancy is protected under both Title IX and the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA)?Under Title IXTitle IX makes it illegal to discriminate because of sex, which includes discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion or related conditions, including recovery. Title IX also ensures the right to take medically necessary leave and to be free of harassment, intimidation, or other discrimination because of pregnancy-related conditions.Under the ADANot all pregnancies result in a disability, but they could quickly result in a short-term disability. It is best to self-identify ahead of time and have the documentation in place because if a problem presents itself, and you can’t be in class, unexcused absences/missed work will be one less thing you will have to worry about.Self-Identification ProcessHaving the self-identification process completed ahead of time encourages the student to have communication with Adaptive Services and their Professors prior to needing accommodations. In the event the student becomes unable to attend class, or needs other pregnancy-related accommodations, having this process in place expedites communication between the student, Adaptive Services and their professors.Pregnant Students Self-Identification FormFor more information regarding your rights as a pregnant student, please visit The Pregnant Scholar.Lactation Rooms Available at FSW (PDF)
