Residence Halls Students with disabilities should direct requests for disability-related accommodations to the Department of Housing. DS will provide a letter verifying the documentation of a disability, upon the student's request. The Department of Housing makes the final determination regarding the student's request. Staff and Faculty with Disabilities Disability Services and the ADA coordinator work together to provide support, advocacy, and services to staff and faculty with disabilities. These two offices can assist in the determination of appropriate accommodations, campus referral, and the provision of technical information.

Although students with temporary disabilities are not covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Disability Services is available to assist these students with their needs. Faculty can refer students with temporary disabilities to DS where a disability specialist will work individually with the student to determine appropriate intervention and support services, if any. Test Anxiety One of the most frequently asked questions regarding test accommodations relates to test anxiety. While DS acknowledges that students may be highly impacted by test anxiety, it is not, in and of itself, a disability. Therefore, DS cannot advocate for a student who requests test accommodations related to anxiety.
