A reasonable accommodation is any appropriate academic adjustment, auxiliary aid, and service that is necessary to afford a student with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in the school's programs.

An equal opportunity provides the means to attain the same level of performance or to enjoy benefits that are available to students without disabilities.

Based upon the history of the disability, current documentation, and the nature of the request, the Disability and Access Resources staff will identify appropriate accommodations and services, which may include:

• Adaptive Equipment – Eligible students may borrow a piece of equipment on a semester basis.
• Assistive Technology – Disability and Access Resources maintains a variety of assistive technology to help students access materials in alternate format. Assistive technology computers are located at both the Klump Academic Center and the Madigan Library.
• Classroom Seating – Eligible students with disabilities can request preferential front row seating and/or special chairs.
• Enlarged Copies of Test – Upon request, tests and course materials will be enlarged for visually impaired students.
• Sign Language Interpreter – Sign language interpreters will be made available to students whose documentation supports this service.
• Testing Accommodations – Testing accommodations can include extended time, test reader, a test scribe, and the use of a calculator, spell checker, or computer.

The Madigan Library offers a variety of assistive technology for library patrons.

Disability and Access Resources does not provide individual tutoring for students with disabilities. However, all students, with or without disabilities, have access to free tutoring offered by Tutoring Services.

Disability and Access Resources offers a limited amount of adaptive equipment that can be borrowed each semester. Loans are made on a "first-come, first-served" basis. One-on-one training is available for most of the adaptive equipment.

• Audio recorders
• Calculators
• Spell checkers
• Ergonomic keyboards
• Roller ball mouse
• Special chairs

In addition to accommodations, Disability and Access Resources staff can assist with: time-management skills, effective communication and interpersonal skill development, self-advocacy and self-awareness, executive functioning skill development, referrals to campus and community resources, and consultation with faculty and staff in conjunction with the student-signed consent.

Current students interested in registering with Disability and Access Resources should complete a self-disclosure form and submit documentation.
