Delivering the Accommodation Letter

Any student who is approved for reasonable accommodations through the Center for Disability Resources (CDR) will use the online Accommodate system to choose which of their approved accommodations are sent to each of their professors. When making this decision, please only include accommodations that you plan to use in that specific professor’s class. The system will then automatically send a copy of the Accommodation Letter via email to both the professor and the CDR student. 

The Accommodation Letter is the official notification to faculty or university administrators that a student is approved to receive accommodations and lists the accommodations that should be provided in that professor’s class. Accommodations are not in place until the professor or university representative receives a current copy of the Accommodation Letter.

Letters are valid for one semester at a time and must be renewed within the online Accommodate system. 

Please Note: Students are never required to disclose their diagnosis or impact/symptoms with anyone other than the CDR. The purpose of providing a copy of the Accommodation Letter is simply to inform someone of the accommodations that will be used – not about why a student has those accommodations
