The handbook intends to provide a deeper understanding of the Office of Accessibility’s academic accommodation request process, the types of accommodations provided to students with disabilities, and the role of faculty in providing accommodations.
Due to the nature of accommodations, the information in the handbook is a general overview. Accommodations are provided to students on a case-by-case basis and not all academic accommodations provided to students will be included in the handbook.
