Eligible students may voluntarily access our office each semester and during the summer sessions.
Accommodations are changes that are made in how students take in or express information.
Accommodations provide equal access to a student's educational experiences at the University by removing barriers caused by that student's disability, without fundamentally altering the essential requirements of a class or program. Accommodations decisions are made and coordinated by LDS, based on a careful analysis of the impact of a student's disability in each class that is of concern to the student. Providing such accommodations to qualified students allows the University to be in compliance with Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. When LDS staff members determine that a student's request for an accommodation is not reasonably supported by their documented disability, we can help the student identify other resources on campus that are available to all students. In addition, we can offer to teach that student more effective learning strategies for addressing the academic difficulty.
