How to request academic and housing accessibility services for students with disabilities
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, and/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.
If you qualify for accommodations at your home institution, you will likely be eligible for accommodations at Dartmouth. Students may request reasonable accommodations by applying for services through SAS and submitting documentation to support your accommodation request.
Students who qualify for approved academic and/or housing accommodations at their home school and want to request accommodations while at Dartmouth must contact Student Accessibility Services to request reasonable accommodations.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you connect with SAS.
Please apply for services and submit documentation in support of your accommodation requests. Especially if you enroll at Dartmouth for fewer than three quarters, it's likely that the only documentation you'll need to submit is verification of the accommodations that you receive at your home institution.
