Applying for Academic Accommodations

Academic requirements are not waived due to a student's disability. Students must be able to meet the academic requirements with the approved academic accommodations. Auxiliary aids include adaptations needed to make the college campus and programs accessible. The Disability Resource Center is not obligated to provide the same accommodations received in high school or other colleges, or all the accommodations recommended by a medical professional.

Accommodations are not retroactive and begin only after the proper procedure has been completed (Flow Chart). No accommodations will be provided until adequate documentation is received. It is the student's responsibility to plan ahead if the accommodation or auxiliary aid requires a long lead-time, such as a sign language interpreter or housing accommodations.

To receive accommodations for each subsequent semester (non-ADEP) or term (ADEP), it is the student's responsibility to make that request.  This is done by completing and turning in an Accommodation Request Form (a "blue form") or by sending an email if attending classes in a distance location.
