About Accommodation Plans

What Are Accommodation Plans?

An accommodation plan is a list of approved accommodations, determined on an individualized basis, with the purpose of providing access to the environment, program, course, etc.

Disability Services staff will review all information to create an individualized accommodation plan that addresses your specific needs.

  • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders

An accommodation plan is a list of approved accommodations, determined on an individualized basis, with the purpose of providing access to the environment, program, course, etc.

Accommodations are determined based on the individual needs of the student. Some possible accommodations may include:

  • Alternative formats (Braille, e-text, large-print, text-to-speech)
  • Alternate furniture Alternate testing environments
  • Extended testing time
  • Note-takers
  • Note-taking software or recorders
  • Sign Language Interpreters

Disability Services can only provide accommodations; we cannot modify the content or expectations of a course or a program.

One simple way to remember the difference between an accommodation and a modification is with the HOW and WHAT statements:

  • Accommodations change How something is learned.
  • Modifications change What is learned.
