Accommodation Approval
How Reasonable Accommodations are Determined
Identifying reasonable accommodations for a student with disabilities is an interactive
process between the student and Student Disability Services.
Services of a Personal Nature
Services of a personal nature are not considered reasonable accommodations in postsecondary
education. Examples of personal services include, but are not limited to, attendant
care and transportation.
Types of Reasonable Accommodations
»Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ will offer reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities on a case-by-case basis. The following are examples of common reasonable accommodation requests that may be appropriate for some students. This list is not all-inclusive.
- Exams and/or Testing - Reasonable accommodations for exams and/or testing may include extended time; reduced-distraction testing situations; alternate test formats; readers and/or scribes.
- Class Recording - Students may be permitted to record class lectures if eligible.
- Reading Assistance - Students may secure electronic books or large print copies.
- Academic Classroom Aids - Where appropriate, students may be permitted to use a calculator, dictionary, word processor, spell checker, and/or grammar checker for in-class and out-of-class work upon approval.
Physical and health accommodations such as an accessible desk for students using a
mobility device are also available upon approval.
Again, these are only examples. Actual accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis.
