Note: Students wishing to be considered for academic, housing or meal plan accommodations must first register with  Office of Accessibility Resources (OAR). There are additional procedures for requesting housing and meal plan accommodations. Please navigate to the appropriate tab on the left menu bar for further instruction. Students must monitor their own progress with completing the steps. They will not be prompted as to where they are in the process though inquiries are certainly welcome.

The student and the Director of Accessibility Resources partner to identify strategies, resources and accommodations, that can ameliorate disability-related barriers. An initial intake meeting provides the opportunity to understand the student’s disability experience and accommodations that have been successful in providing access. The process will be informed by the student’s self-report, the director's experience, and any documentation that the student presents. Based on an interactive discussion, the director may implement accommodations, set up provisional or temporary accommodations while waiting for additional documentation, or request documentation specific to establishing a connection between the disability and the barrier. A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to instructional methods and/or a course, program, service, activity or facility that enables a qualified student with a disability to have equal access to programs, services and activities. Equal access means an opportunity to attain the same level of performance or to enjoy equal benefits and privileges as are available to a similarly-situated student without a disability.
