Provide Resources

If a student reports a disability or impairment when requesting help, please refer the student to EAS for consideration and determination of support.

The student’s registration with Educational Access Services, any student-shared disability details, and the fact that they receive accommodations should be kept confidential.

How does EAS collaborate with faculty?

• A resource to applicable students that are struggling
• Protection for specifics of disability
• Protection for integrity of course

An accommodation that fundamentally alters the nature of a course or the program curriculum may be considered unreasonable. Contact EAS to discuss these concerns.

Students may request a proctored test in the EAS office to receive accommodations that cannot otherwise be received in the classroom.

Questions you can ask:

1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
