Academic accommodations and support services are determined on an individual basis. Each accommodation is based on functional limitations as identified in each student's documentation and is designed to meet a student's needs without fundamentally altering the nature of the university's instructional program(s). Accommodations and support services are provided upon the recommendation of a DSS staff member. Students who are authorized for accommodations will present to their instructors an authorization form, which outlines the appropriate and recommended accommodation for each class. Students who request accommodations from an instructor without an authorization form should be directed to the DSS Office for consultation. Under most circumstances, students should not be given accommodations without an authorization.
For additional information about appropriate academic accommodations, please contact a Disability Management Advisor.
