Forms and Applications
Disabilities Services Application
Complete a Student Disclosure Form to begin the accommodations process. Please be prepared to provide documentation of a diagnosis or disability, or to schedule a consultation with the Disability Services Coordinator.
Test Accommodation Requests
Complete a Test Accommodation Request Form at least one week before each test. Advanced notice ensures we have time to arrange appropriate adjustments. Accommodations are available for both in-person exams and online exams.
Areas of Refuge for Individuals with a Disability
In an emergency requiring building evacuation, people with mobility issues may not be able to evacuate without help. There are designated areas of refuge that provide protection where individuals with mobility issues may wait until assistance is available from emergency responders. Learn more about our Areas of Refuge.
