Timeline for Requesting Accomodations

In general, effective accommodations require collaboration and communication between the student and the Office of Disabilities Resources (ODR). For new students and changing needs, this includes submission and review of appropriate documentation and an intake interview to determine the accommodations for which students are eligible.

A number of accommodations require particular advance notice due to the nature of equipment, processes, personnel, or other planning involved.  Students should familiarize themselves with the timelines and other responsibilities associated with each area of accommodation. Please direct questions to the Office of Disability Resources.
