Appropriate services and accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis. Students with questions about eligibility for services are encouraged to contact SSD. Depending on students' needs and limitations, documentation, history of accommodations and educational environment, SSD may provide the following as appropriate: scribe and reader services; note-taking services; materials in e-text and audio format; testing accommodations, such as extended time and alternative test environment; interpreter and captioning services; assistance in activity relocation; assistance in obtaining elevator and lift keys; access to adaptive equipment and software.

A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a course, program, service, or activity that enables a qualified student with a disability to obtain equal access. Equal access means an opportunity to attain the same level of performance or to enjoy equal benefits and privileges as are available to a similarly situated student without a disability. Only the peripheral requirements of courses, programs, and activities are subject to modification. Essential elements of courses, programs and activities must remain intact. The University is obligated to make a reasonable accommodation only for known limitations of otherwise qualified students with disabilities.

To determine reasonable accommodations, SSD may seek information from appropriate University personnel regarding essential standards for courses, degree programs, and/or activities. Final determination of reasonable accommodations is made cooperatively between SSD and the University community.
