Request Accommodations

AES cannot guarantee your accommodations for the first day of the semester if you do not submit a request by 7/25.

Processing an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) request may take up to 60 days to allow time for a thorough review of documentation, engagement in the interactive process, and coordination with relevant campus departments.

Requesting Disability Accommodations: A Guide for Incoming Students 

Differences Between High School and College

Accessible Education Services (AES) provides accommodations for students with documented disabilities, ensuring they have equal access to academic programs and campus resources. While a high school IEP or 504 Plan can help guide what accommodations may be considered reasonable, college accommodations are ultimately determined through a student-driven Interactive Process. This process involves reviewing documentation and gathering input from the student to identify appropriate accommodations. For more details, the PDF above outlines the differences between accommodations in high school and in college.

For prospective or new students: Schedule a meeting to discuss any accommodation related questions.

If you have an ESA related request please review this page before scheduling any meetings or submitting a request

Interactive Accommodation Request Process

Should you initiate the Interactive Process, please keep in mind:

• Accommodation requests are processed in the order that they are received. 
• Documentation review and processing of accommodation requests may take up to three weeks.

The steps below will guide continuing students, confirmed first year students, and transfer students through the accommodation request process.

1. Begin the interactive process by scheduling a virtual appointment with an AES staff member: Meet with AES staff 
   
   
2. Assemble documentation of disability to upload with request, AES does not accept documentation via email or fax. All documentation is submitted via the Accommodation Request form outlined in step three. For documentation guidelines see Disability Specific Forms and Criteria. 
   
   
3. Complete the Accommodation Request Form. Access to this form requires the students UP username and password. Accommodation forms cannot be submitted without uploading the required documentation.
   
   
4. Monitor UP email account for communication regarding evaluation, recommendation, and plan.
