ACCOMMODATIONS

Students who are requesting accommodations must contact the Center for Access and Disability office to initiate the process.
Students are required to provide documentation from a qualified professional of their disability or chronic illness.
Determination of reasonable accommodations is an ongoing and interactive process between the student and the Coordinator.
Once reasonable accommodations are determined, it is the student's choice whether or not to utilize them.
Students who have injuries, surgeries or other conditions which will temporarily restrict them on campus may contact the Center for Access and Disability to arrange for reasonable short-term accommodations. Documentation will be required.
