Guidance on Timing and Deadlines

While there is no fixed deadline for requesting accommodations, the timing affects the student experience. Students should begin the interactive process as soon as they are aware that they need accommodation. learning.

The Role of Documentation

Documentation will look different based on the student and their unique situation. SDAS staff will guide you along the way. We also understand that access needs are not always fully reflected in documentation alone. Student interviews, prior accommodation history, and information gathered through the interactive process may be used to supplement - and in some cases, may serve in place of - outside documentation when appropriate.
