Students: Register with Student Accessibility Services
Step One: Submit an Online Application. To register, first complete and submit an Application for Accommodations. Inadequate and/or incomplete answers may delay the eligibility review process. Please contact SAS if you are having any trouble accessing the form. Email: accessibilityservices@jf277.com
Phone: 1-508-798-4368
Fax: +1-508-793-8877
Step Two: Submit Documentation
Students requesting reasonable accommodations and/or services must submit documentation of a disabling condition to verify eligibility. Students are required to submit documentation regarding the diagnosis/diagnoses that demonstrates a disability covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended (2008).
Please review our Documentation Guidelines for additional information. All documentation is kept confidential.
Additional forms of documentation may include:
• Medical providers may fill out our Disability Verification Form
• A letter from a qualified medical professional
• Psychological evaluation(s)
• Psychoeducational evaluation(s) with standardized test scores
• A physician’s medical records, etc.
Step Three: Schedule an Access Meeting Once the Application for Accommodations has been submitted online, you will be notified by email to schedule an access meeting to discuss accommodations, procedures, and services. The access meeting will typically last about 30 minutes where we will discuss your lived experiences with disability and how they may impact you academically and/or in your residential life.
Step Four: Log In to Accommodate
After the access meeting, students will receive a Student Registration Notice regarding their accommodation requests and registration status. This letter will also contain steps on how to request your accommodations through Accommodate. Once registered, students log in to Accommodate to submit semester requests to send accommodation letters to instructors each semester. Students must communicate with each instructor to discuss the arrangements for receiving accommodations. In addition, accommodations are not retroactive, and instructors do not have to provide accommodations to students if they have not been informed of the need for accommodations by SAS.
