Academic Accommodations
Academic accommodation is a process by which you are provided conditions, services, and/or tools, which help to compensate for the effects of your disability in your studying, classroom learning, testing and other evaluation. These accommodations are based on your functional limitations; they are unique to you and specific to your disability-related needs. Appropriate accommodation is fair and is meant to “level the playing field” and not give you an advantage over your peers.
Letter of Accommodation
The Letter of Accommodation is a summary of the academic accommodations and support which may be required in order to participate in lectures, complete coursework, and/or write tests and exams. The Letter of Accommodation is typically emailed to the Professor by the Accessibility Consultant at the beginning of each semester.
Important: You must request your Letter of Accommodation be released to your Professors each term by completing the Returning Student Form.
