Questions
Do faculty have access to my records and know about my personal situation?
Answer

No.  Faculty do not have access to personal records and only know that you are registered with the DSS office when you provide them with an Accommodation Letter from DSS. The student, if registered with DSS and after providing documentation that DSS determines supports the accommodation, is provided with a letter that details the required accommodations to which they are entitled so long as they do not fundamentally alter an essential component of the course. For every student registered with DSS, the office has a file with documentation of the disability.

Questions
If I register for services, will it show up on my permanent record?
Answer

No. What is considered a student's permanent educational record is maintained by the Registrar's Office and is completely separate from records maintained in Student Accessibility Services. Records are held in strict confidence, and information is released only on a "need to know" basis with written permission from the student.
