Academic Accommodations for Students with DisabilitiesMission | Eligibility | Services | Academic Accommodations | Applying to DS | CAE Staff | Center for Academic Excellence

Reasonable academic adjustments (also known as classroom and testing accommodations) are those changes that will minimize or eliminate the impact of a disability and allow equal access to information presented. In a collaborative process, the DS staff and the student will develop an ADA/504 Accommodation Plan for reasonable and appropriate accommodations that are supported by the documentation of disability provided by the student.

Examples of some academic accommodations are:

• Extended testing time
  
• Recording of class lectures
  
• Sign language interpreters for the deaf
  
• Note takers and/or readers
  
• Adaptive software
