Accommodations

In collaboration with the university community, Student Accessibility Services ensures that students with disabilities receive reasonable accommodations and services to participate equally in the academic environment. Students who have been approved for accommodations will use Accommodate to make and track supplemental accommodation requests, manage their letters of accommodation, and check the status of other service requests.

Basis for Determining Accommodations

Eligibility for academic accommodations is based on information provided in the documentation and/or accompanying information from schools or medical professionals that clearly demonstrate that a student has one or more functional limitations that may be a barrier in the academic setting, and that these limitations require reasonable accommodations to achieve equity in education. Accommodations are intended to provide equal access and maximize student potential. 

Accommodations Management

Students, faculty, and staff can access Accommodate to manage accommodations, obtain letters of accommodation, and check the status of other service requests.
