Step 1

The student must contact the Coordinator of Accessibility Services (accessibility@steu.edu) to request an appointment to discuss/request possible accommodations

Step 2

Complete the intake form and submit your documentation. The student must provide the Coordinator with appropriate, disability specific, documentation in support of the student's requested accommodations. Below is a listing of general disability categories as well as the type of documentation which is required for each.

• Learning Disabilities (see Guidelines for Learning Disability)
• Physical Disabilities (see Guidelines for Physical Disability)
• Psychological/Psychiatric Disabilities (see Guidelines for Psychological/Psychiatric Disorders)
• On-Campus Housing (see Residence Hall Medical Accommodations)

The Coordinator will work with the student in determining what type of documentation is required.  You may still complete an intake form if you need help acquiring your documentation or are waiting for copies, however a final decision cannot be made without supporting documentation. 

Any student that needs assistance with obtaining their documentation should email Accessibility Services

Step 3

Once the intake form is filled out and supporting documentation is received, an accommodation plan will be developed with the Accessibility Coordinator. The student and coordinator will meet in person or via Zoom to discuss the plan and the plan will be signed by both parties. Before or near the start of each semester the student will inform the Coordinator of the courses in which they have registered so the Coordinator and student can cooperatively develop or amend accommodations specific to those courses if deemed necessary.

Step 4

The  signed accommodation plan will be emailed to the student with a link to the Accommodation Plan Professor Receipt. The student is responsible for forwarding the email with their plan and links to their professors and requesting that the professor sign the receipt acknowledging their plan. 

We strive to process and fulfill your request for accommodations in a timely manner. Please allow 72 business hours for a response to your request and a total of 10 business days to process and fulfill your request for accommodations. Requests will be processed in the order that they are received. 
Students' accommodation plans do not automatically renew each semester. 

Students must email Accessibility Services at least 10 business days before every semester begins if they wish to renew their plan. Late requests may result in a delay to the student receiving services. 

Any requests for alternative texts, assistive technology and other such services must be made at least 20 business days prior to the start of each upcoming semester to ensure the timely delivery of services.
