Accommodate for Students

Accommodate is an electronic file management system used by the Office of Accessibility Services to streamline and simplify the accommodation process for students. Accommodate keeps all student disability and accommodation information confidential. Accommodate allows the Office of Accessibility Services to process accommodation requests, schedule accessibility appointments, and coordinate testing in the LEAD Center all in one place.

How to Use Accommodate

• Supplemental Accommodation Requests – This is how students request to add any new accommodations.
• Semester Requests – This is how students will request their approved accommodations each semester.
• Access Accommodation Letters – This is how students will review and sign their accommodation letters each semester.
• Appointments – This is how students can schedule appointments with the Accessibility Services Coordinator when needed.

Once your request is approved you will receive an email letting you know that you have a letter to review.

1. Login to Accommodate.
2. Select the Accommodation tab and this will expand the selections.
3. Choose Accommodation Letters. You will see that you have a letter, and your signature was requested.
4. Click on the letter to open and review it.
5. Type your name and click the “Save” button to sign the letter.

You can request appointments with the Accessibility Coordinator in Accommodate.

1. Select the Appointment tab.
2. Click the “Request New Appointment” button.
3. Choose an appointment type.
4. Fill out the rest of the information as desired based on your schedule.
5. Click the “Check Availability” button.
6. You will now see a list of available dates and times. Click on the appointment you would like to request.
7. Review the appointment information to verify it is correct and click the “Submit Request” button.

Once you complete your request it will appear under Requested Appointments. When the appointment is approved by the Accessibility Coordinator it will move under Approved Appointments.

Accommodate allows you and your professors to review and sign your accommodation letters electronically. However, keep in mind it is still your responsibility to speak with your professors to discuss the approved academic accommodations and make specific plans for how the appropriate accommodations will be implemented in each class.

Keep in mind that documentation needs to be updated every 3 years. If you began receiving accommodations your Freshman year and are going into your Senior year, then the Office of Accessibility will need updated documentation.
