Personal services are those that a person with a disability must use regardless of attendance at the University. In addition, personal services are those for which no correlation between the disability's functional limitation and program access can be established. The University, for instance, does not purchase wheelchairs or other assistive technologies used in every setting to compensate for a mobility impairment. Other examples of personal services include independent living, mental health, rehabilitation, remediation, and tutoring. The University will honor student accommodation choice whenever feasible, but periodically may need to provide equally effective alternatives to that choice.
Students make requests for accommodations primarily through their DSS coordinator.
Any employee or unit of the University makes reasonable accommodations to otherwise qualified students with disabilities. The University requires verification of disability and functional limitation prior to the provision of reasonable accommodations.
