Disclosing Accommodations to the Guarini Institute
Students who qualify for approved academic and/or housing accommodations on-campus and want to request accommodations while away must contact Student Accessibility Services to request reasonable accommodations and ask that accommodation letters be sent to our office. It is your responsibility to ensure that you connect with SAS about how your accommodations will be communicated to your program and/or exchange institution.
Although the Guarini Institute cannot guarantee that any or all of its program sites can accommodate your specific needs, we will work with SAS and program partners (if applicable) to determine what support may be available.

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) & Study Away
Student Accessibility Services (SAS) & Study Away
SAS works with students, faculty, staff, and the campus administration to ensure that the programs, services, and activities of Dartmouth College are accessible to, and usable by, students with disabilities.
SAS provides direct services to undergraduate students. They arrange, coordinate, or facilitate appropriate academic adjustments, program modifications and auxiliary services to support students’ curricular and co-curricular pursuits.
SAS also serves as a resource to Dartmouth instructors, departments, faculty members, and other staff members as they strive to make their classes, programs, services, and activities accessible to students with disabilities.
In addition to SAS, The Guarini Institute can help you liaise by:
Working closely with you to identify program options that match your interests and are best suited to accommodate your needs.
Coordinating with you, Student Accessibility Services, and your host institution to arrange reasonable accommodations to meet your personal needs.
Exchange Student Accommodations Registration
Exchange Student Accommodations Registration
Students studying away on exchange programs directly enroll in the host institution, and therefore it is the host institution that will ultimately be responsible for approving and implementing student accommodations.
If you are approved for accommodations at Dartmouth, submitting documentation verification of your accommodations may be sufficient at your host institution.
Dartmouth’s SAS office can help you with acquiring this verification.
