Accommodations for Students
Needing accommodations for the first time?
- Complete the Accessibility Resource Center registration through this quick and easy online form through Symplicity.
- Upload documentation from a licensed professional. See our documentation guidelines page for information on what is needed.
Missing Documentation?
If you don’t have your documentation or previous accommodations ready to upload now, you can upload it to your portal later, however we cannot move forward with the process until we have supporting documentation (as is required by the ADA — Americans with Disabilities Act). We’d appreciate hearing from you about the timeline for this so that we can plan accordingly.
Accommodation Portal
You will now have a portal in our accommodations system hosted on Symplicity. We strongly recommended bookmarking the page for easy future access.
What Happens after Registration?
An accessibility specialist will be assigned to you permanently for consistency and ease of communication. Your information will be reviewed and you will be contacted by the specialist to meet about finalizing your accommodation plan. Please note that it can take up to 2 weeks for your request to be processed and your accessibility specialist to contact you.
Please also note:
- The accommodations are NOT CONSIDERED IN EFFECT until you have an accommodation memo and you and your instructors (for academic accommodations) have met to work out the implementation of your accommodations. Please do this as soon as you are able.
- You are expected to keep your Specialist informed of your experiences as you move through each semester, so that any emerging concerns can be addressed while they are still easier to resolve.
- A week before each semester, you need to take a step to renew the accommodations for the coming term. Please see the Semester Request document for the process.
