Disabilities and Accommodations

- Mental health

Types of Accommodations
The accommodation process is individualized and determined based on several factors, including formal documentation, students’ narratives, previous accommodations, and staff professional knowledge, to create an accessible and equitable learning environment for students. Accommodations may include but are not limited to the following:
- Exam accommodations
- Note-taking assistance
- Assistive technology
- Sign Language/captioning
- Attendance flexibility plan
- Accessible parking
- Priority scheduling
One important note is that while we attempt to work to find accommodations that allow you to complete your education, we cannot provide accommodations that would “fundamentally alter” the educational program or academic requirements that are essential to a program of study or to fulfill licensing requirements.
