Students with documented disabilities that affect their academic performance, mobility, sensory experiences, or mental health may be eligible for accommodations. If you are unsure whether your condition qualifies, you can contact SASO for guidance. They will review your situation and help determine the appropriate accommodations based on your needs.

SASO offers a range of accommodations, including extended time on tests, flexible assignment deadlines, accessible housing, note-taking assistance, alternative formats for course materials, and the use of assistive technologies. The specific accommodations provided are tailored to the individual needs of each student.

You can apply for accommodations by submitting an accommodation request form to SASO. It’s important to apply as early as possible to ensure your needs are met in a timely manner. For exam-related accommodations, make sure to submit your request at least three weeks before the exam date.

To support your accommodation request, you’ll need to submit medical documentation from a qualified healthcare provider. This should include a current diagnosis, the impact of your condition on major life activities, and a recommendation for accommodations. The report must be on official letterhead, signed, and clearly legible. For more detailed information, please refer to the SASO Handbook.

Yes, accommodations do not automatically renew. You must submit a new request at the beginning of each semester or academic year to continue receiving accommodations.

If you encounter any challenges or if your accommodations are not working as expected, reach out to SASO immediately. The office will work with you to make necessary adjustments and ensure your needs are met.

All information regarding your disability and accommodation requests is kept strictly confidential. SASO only shares this information with personnel directly involved in implementing the accommodations, and any discussions with instructors should be done privately.

After submitting your request and all necessary documentation, SASO will typically provide a decision within 15 business days. You will receive a confirmation email outlining whether your request has been approved.

Accommodations can be denied if they alter the core requirements of a course or program. If this happens, SASO will work with you and your instructors to find alternative solutions that meet your needs without compromising essential course standards.
