Accommodations and Services
The Center for Access and Disability provides accommodations and services to students with documented disabilities or chronic illness in various areas of campus and academic life. Accommodations and services are designed to equalize opportunities and access, not to lower the academic standard for Access students or to alter the essential nature of the degree requirements. Appointments are scheduled on an as-needed basis to determine which accommodations and/or services may be appropriate.
Accommodations
Accommodations are determined between the student and Access on a case-by-case basis and can vary widely from student to student. Determination can be an ongoing interactive process in some cases. If a student feels their accommodations may need to be adjusted after approval, the student should meet with us to discuss and reassess their needs.
Examples of Common Accommodations (*but not limited to):
- Extended time on exams
- Separate distraction-reduced location for exams
- Use of recording device for lectures
- Use of calculator
- Scribe for exams
- Test Reader
- Enlarged print
