PROCEDURES

Requests for Accommodations

Students are encouraged to make requests well in advance, in accordance with time lines established by each school. The process for receiving accommodations begins with self-identification. When a student chooses to self-identify a disability, documentation should be forwarded to the Local Disability Resource Coordinator. The Local Disability Resource Coordinator will work with the UDRC and, when appropriate, with the Eligibility Assessment Team and any Technical Standards Committees², to verify eligibility.

Arrangements for Accommodations

Once verification of eligibility is determined, the Local Disability Resource Coordinator, with the student's written permission, notifies faculty and University service units of the need to provide an accommodation. The Local Disability Resource Coordinator will take into account any accommodations that have been implemented previously by other schools within the University. It is the student's responsibility to discuss details about any specific classroom needs directly with the instructor.
