Accommodations

A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, employment practice, or the work environment that allows the individual to perform the essential functions of their position and/or have an equal opportunity to participate in University programs.

OCR determines disability, pregnancy/lactation, and religion accommodation requests for faculty, staff, and student workers. In addition, OCR processes pregnancy accommodation requests for students.
