Requesting Accommodations

In order to begin the accommodation request process at Delaware State University, a person must fill out and submit the Request For Accommodations Form through Accommodate.

It is important to note that filling out this form does not guarantee that the accommodation(s) requested will be granted. Accommodations are determined by the Center for Disability Resources (CDR) by a thorough review of the person’s medical documentation, an interactive conversation with the individual, and the reasonableness of the request within the context of the University.  

The individual with a disability must submit signed documentation from a licensed medical/mental health professional. These steps are required in order for the CDR to determine whether the student would be considered a person with a disability at Delaware State University and what reasonable accommodations they may or may not qualify for. The requested accommodation needs to be specific to the functional limitations. 

Any documentation can be uploaded along with the Request for Accommodations Form or uploaded into Accommodate manually by logging in to the Accommodate system. Once documentation and the Student Request for Accommodations Form have been received, the next step is to schedule an interactive conversation with the CDR.
