SAS engages in an interactive process with each student and reviews requests for accommodations on an individualized, case-by-case basis. Depending on the nature and functional limitations of a student’s documented disability, they may be eligible for reasonable and appropriate accommodations.

Submit documentation
Students requesting reasonable accommodations must submit documentation of a disability to verify eligibility. Students need to submit documentation regarding the diagnosis/diagnoses that demonstrates a disability covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended (2008).
Please review our Documentation Guidelines for additional information. All documentation is kept confidential.
Additional forms of documentation may include:
- A letter from a qualified medical professional
- Psychological evaluation(s)
- Psychoeducational evaluation(s) with standardized test scores
- A physician’s medical records, etc.
Schedule an intake
Once the Application for Accommodations has been submitted online, you will be notified by email to schedule an intake to discuss accommodations, procedures, and services. The intake will typically last about 30 minutes where we will discuss your lived experiences with disability and how they may impact you academically and/or in your residential life.
Log in to Accommodate
After the intake, students will receive a Student Registration Notice regarding their accommodation requests and registration status. This letter will also contain steps on how to request your accommodations through Accommodate. Once registered, students log in to Accommodate to submit semester requests to send accommodation letters to instructors each semester. Students must communicate with each instructor to discuss the arrangements for receiving accommodations. In addition, accommodations are not retroactive, and instructors do not have to provide accommodations to students if they have not been informed of the need for accommodations by SAS.
