Student Accessibility Services (SAS)

At Franklin & Marshall, students are entitled to reasonable accommodations based on a disability. These accommodations can be for students with either physical, learning, medical or mental health-related disabilities. 

In accordance with equal education opportunity laws, the Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) arranges to provide appropriate academic accommodations for students with disabilities. Appropriate academic accommodations for students with disabilities are determined on an individual basis utilizing the required documentation of the disability.

Every student at the College has the opportunity to complete a SAS Intake Form. The College considers information provided on this form confidential and uses it to provide appropriate accommodations for qualifying students.

When first registering with SAS, you will be asked to complete an Intake Form and provide supporting documentation of your disability. SAS will then contact you to schedule a brief meeting with Dr. Alison Hobbs, SAS Director, or Lauren Weber, SAS Assistant Director. This meeting is an essential part of the interactive process to determine what reasonable accommodations may be granted given the nature of your disability. 

If you have a documented disability and would like to schedule a meeting to set up your accommodations, please complete an SAS Intake Form.  If you have recent (within 5 years) documentation of your disability from a care provider, please submit that along with your SAS Intake Form.

• If not, you can request a brief letter from your care provider - on their letterhead - which states your diagnosis and some recommended accommodations.

Return your completed documentation to the Office of Student Accessibility Services. It can be:

• emailed to sas@fandm.edu,

• uploaded to your SAS Accommodate student portal,

• faxed to 717-358-4420

Once we receive your completed intake form and supporting documentation, SAS will contact you via email to schedule a meeting with you.
