Student Accommodation Procedures

• It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the process for disability services.
• Students requesting accommodations must complete the Academic Accommodations form. 
• Students must obtain appropriate documentation which establishes the need for an accommodation and relates the current impact of the disability to the requested accommodation.
