Registration Process

Accessibility Services (AS) values an interactive and collaborative process as we work with students and staff/faculty to establish services. Please contact Accessibility Services at any time for assistance with a request for reasonable accommodations and support services. The nature and type of accommodations, 辅助艾滋病, and modifications are determined based on the functional limitations of the impairment and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The goal is to ensure equal access for all.

An individual is required to complete an Accommodation Request Form and submit documentation to verify the presence of a disability and to help understand the impact of the disability on the individual in the university setting. There are multiple ways to document a disability and the documentation requirements vary based on the type of request. 因此, please review the guidelines to determine the information needed and the acceptable documentation.

Timely submission of the Accommodation Request Form and the verification documentation is essential to ensure implementation of reasonable accommodations and support services. Accessibility Services cannot grant retroactive accommodations. 因此, academic accommodations should be requested at least six weeks prior to the start of the semester. Housing accommodations should be requested at least six weeks prior to the housing selection date established by 住宅 and 通勤生活.
