Accommodations
Students with disabilities can request academic, housing, or dining accommodations through an application process that includes student's self-disclosure, intake interview, and timely submission of detailed documentation of a disability.
The accommodation process is a two-person relationship between the student and Disability Services. Students are encouraged to be advocates for themselves in this process.
